Day 1 Mod - Subject

Reply

A few months ago, we told you all about our plans for modding in Humankind, including a map editor, dedicated modding tools, and access to the AI. As part of these plans, we're working on a day one mod to show off some of what you can do with the modding tools, and we want our community to have a say in the creation of this mod. Previously we let you vote on the theme of the mod, with Science Fiction emerging as the winner.

Sci-fi is still a broad category, though, so this time we want to narrow down the subject matter of the mod. Let us know which of these you'd most like to see!

Ended up voting Far Future, Post-Apo is just a tired subject. Seeing Humankind-style game in Endless Universe, but not EL version of it, would also be quite interesting, but I got to think about giving some tools/models to modders so they add future era mod quickly ;)

Quick question: What do the bars below each option visualize? I always thought it was the relative number of votes (or G2G points, anyway), but that doesn't seem to match what I'm seeing here.

Much as I love the Endless Universe, Far Future has more "mod potential" in the long run.

In Civ, there's a niche of highly demanded mods that add eras (pre-historic, far future, etc.). People like these mods mostly because they add to the length of the base game in some way which appeals to Role Players and anyone who feels the game ends too quickly. 

A far future Day 1 Mod cooould be re-tooled down the road for anyone looking to add assets, eras, and new events to the base game. Judging by how the devs are going about it, any way you slice it the mod they produce will show how HK can be used for alternate ruleset/asset mods, its just future seems like it will also be the most useful for mods of a different variety as well.

Would love to see a more post-apocalyptic scenario, plenty of games have gone their but few have allowed us to build /rebuild a civilization and would likely be a good example of how the modding tools could be used in more grounded ways.

Post apocalypse with the hopes of seeing a new or at least fresh take on the apocalypse. :D

I voted for endless, but as long as it is not post-apocalypse I'll be contempt.
Imagine in the end the endless mod is just calling money dust :)

While I like the Endless universe, I do wonder if going with far future would better help give modders the idea of what would be possible. Tough decision!


edit: I'm in the same boat with Vanadiom about apocalypse setting lol

I went with Endless Universe.


I love Post-Apocalyptic, but I would love to see this game tied in to all the other Endless games in some way.

Far future, meh, that's basically Endless universe anyway, so why bother? If we're going sci-fi, go all in with what the devs are good at. :)

I might have been swayed toward Endless if it was explicitly stated that it's beard vs. no-beard Horatio civil war.

I love that votes are tied to G2G points. It reminds me of shareholder voting. The most experienced should get the most votes.
