What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Sapiens is already fun to play, with many hours of content to enjoy. But as a huge and deep sandbox, the potential for future content is limitless. The time is right to get the game out there and start getting the community involved, providing feedback, and building mods.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Sapiens may be in early access for a couple of years or more. There is a lot of potential, so it makes sense to take the time to get it right.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Sapiens has been built with multiplayer in mind, but it needs more work and lots of community testing and feedback before it will be ready. So multiplayer will come after the early access launch. Full controller support and VR support are also planned to be completed for the full release.

The full version will also add more later game content, as well as the addition of new mechanics, refinement of the existing experience, and progressing further into future technologies. You can expect to see the addition of boats, fishing, horseback riding and the transport of goods. More interactions with other tribes will be added, with the ability to trade or steal, recruit or fight. Also, expect to move further into the medieval era and beyond with the crafting of metal tools, and more advanced farming and refining processes.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Sapiens is a stable and enjoyable experience, and focuses on getting the core gameplay and mechanics right. There is already many hours of content to play through.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price is likely to rise as the game gets more refined with more content after the Early Access release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“There is an active forum and discord server for communicating between players and the developer. Throughout the early access period and beyond, the direction of development will be driven by feedback and discussions with the community.

Sapiens also has a very flexible modding interface using Lua, so members of the community will be able to contribute everything from major game-changing mods to minor tweaks and content, all influencing the game directly.”

“After playing the demo for a few hours, there’s a good chance I’m going to sink a lot of hours into this one.”

About This Game

Guide your tribe. Build a civilization. Cultivate the world - together. In Sapiens, you start with nothing and advance through thousands of years of technological breakthroughs in single player, or team up with friends to construct sprawling cities and manage resources collectively in multiplayer.

Choose Your Home

Pick from thousands of procedurally generated environments across a map larger than Earth itself. Choose wisely, as each area has different climates, resources, and challenges. Finding the right place to begin your home is key to growing your civilization. Shape the world around you from the largest citadel to the smallest log, which can all be moved and placed at will.

Play Together

In multiplayer you can collaborate with friends to build major trading hubs, hospitals, and other large-scale builds that would be impossible to build alone. There’s no PVP, so relationships are based on cooperation and creating rather than destroying.

Find Resources

Find new resources and send your sapiens to investigate, leading to new breakthroughs that unlock new things to build and craft. Start with primitive materials and work your way up to using more advanced tools and techniques. Other tribes can also be a resource as they focus their skills on one of four different trades, including rock tools, bread, pottery, and bronze.

Lead Your People

Instruct individual sapiens to focus on specific tasks, such as research, planting crops, gathering materials, building, hunting, cooking, and more. Watch as they learn new skills, making them more valuable to your tribe. Manage their moods, health, and support their growing families.

Expand Your Reach

Trade across the globe with ease with tools like Sleds. Send sapiens over long distances and establish camps to gather far away resources. Explore over great distances by deploying a team of sapiens, or conduct a hunting mission to gather resources. Players can also grow their standing in other tribes for even more benefits in trading.
