- I've been hard at work and the next big Sapiens update is nearly out. This video goes over the new content and features, including damaging wind storms, stone chiseling, composting and mulching, new roof and wall types and much more.
In Sapiens, create your own primitive civilization. Lead your tribe from the ground, immersed in the world while you shape it. Start with nothing, build towns and industry, and advance through thousands of years of technological advancement in this intimate yet expansive colony sim.

Once you add fire. You should also add some thunder to the storms that cause fire or unexpected deaths too
There could also be a chance for the sapien to survive when hit by lightning and have a lightning mark
I tried your game, i enjoyed it very much. It plays so smoothly, the research process is simple and yet challenging at the same time. I was thinking about it the other day, then i stumbled upon your old video log about the 7 years dev time of Sapiens, and it came to me. Omg, he's a thaumcraft fan, i said to myself! Very well done sir!
What is thaumcraft

Thats why it felt so familiar!
Where did you go I really miss the videos and the game 😢
Would love to see Sapiens strength increase as they get older and decrease again as they get elderly.
I've been missing your videos man, hope everything is okay.
Yes
Dude this game is so cool. Don't stop working on it, seriously this has the potential to become a timeless classic. One recommendation (as someone who's only seen your 7 year documentary) is maybe add in an option for those who don't like to micro manage everything. Personally I think it would be cool if the game could run without my input, but would also be cool if I could micro manage it when I feel like it. I plan on buying it in the near future when I can afford it, seriously this looks like one under appreciated gem. As a wanna be dev you are an inspiration building this whole thing from scratch.
I miss the more regular updates. But I take what I get. It is always great to see what you implemented and where you are going.
I think the little bit of chaos is a good addition and just based on what you told us the frequency seems good too.
Getting smacked by a bone flute sounds so hilarious yet so reasonable
Love your game bought it 2 months ago and played most of my free time :) would love a update on the road forward :)
Finally you're back 🎉🎉🎉 you were the reason to start my own game dev projects!
Fantastic work Dave!
Great work, Dave! So inspirational, looking forward for further development
Awesome game Dave! So glad to hear you're loving it and motivated. Super excited to see more and more in this game!
I always look forward to another dev log. It’s interesting to see how you develop this great game. The update looks amazing as always and can’t wait to try it out.
Great work, everything looks awesome. Seems like I will have to start a new play through!
I'm very excited for this update. I've checked three times so far today to see if it's posted yet 🤣. Keep up the great work because I think this is one of my favorite world building games ever.
Hi Dave, your doing an absolute stellar job with this game, I absolutely love the game and its progression and direction. Thank you ❤😊
Yesss new devlog! I was looking forward to this one after seeing some of the posts on the Discord server. I'm gonna get much playtime from this update for sure, and a few more hours updating the portuguese translation mod XD
Love this game. And really enjoyed seeing it grow over the last 5 years! Glad it got such a nice warm welcome from the Gaming community.
Hope to see some steam deck support soon 😊 would love to play this game anywhere and anyhow!
I love this game. I love how simple and yet deep and realistic it is. Also something about the graphical appearance is just appealing to me. Awesome work, will be buying the game as soon as possible!
Beautiful! I love the direction this game is going! I can already see the next update "Adding bronze weapons and armor!"
Absolutely incredible game. I just picked it up and I cant put it down. Really looking forward to what comes next. In the mean time I am sinking hours into my villages!!! Thank you for your passion in game creation, it shows!
Great work, Dave! Can't wait to try it. Thanks
Just started a new game for the first time in a while. I couldn't really tell you exactly what all has changed but it feels like everything is just more polished and such. I've been suggesting the game to people I know that will enjoy it. It's really coming along and has that special something that sets it apart from others in the genre.
Your game, The Blockheads, was a staple of my childhood, but your new game also looks amazing. Goodluck on Sapiens!
Happy to hear you are doing well!
I love this game, and i like to see the development process.
good changes!
I love the work you put into creating a true ecology in the game!
The colours of those various stones are a bit full-on, did you try having veins or chunks of the material in a general "earth" substrate? I super love the idea of different materials but big hexes of colour is just too much visually imho. Edit: Maybe you could have each hex comprised of different amounts of various materials which is then reflected in the visuals and the mining yield (eg. mining a hex of 40% clay 40% sand and 20% iron yields 4 clay 4 silica and 2 iron ore).
Ok there goes the weekend.... 😊
Great work, keep it up!
Seeing your storage area makes me feel like an idiot, this is much better than building walls! Going to play this game again when more stuff is added, looking good so far!
Awesome work! Looking forward to playing with all the new content. I really feel like the game will come into its true element in 0.5 with the edition of multiplayer, trading, more advanced AI, etc.
Really curious if we will ever be able to fill the whole globe with trade networks, ships, encountering allied & enemy tribes. Maybe such a large scale map would be possible with the ability to control multiple self-sufficient tribes
PS: Have you thought about adding a search bar for all these new items?
Can't wait for multiplayer! Combat would be a great update eventually too.
We can’t even sail yet or ride horses. There’s a lot before that. He’s doing it right.
@@empyrean-jamelgreaves8034 I don't see why that's necessary for multiplayer. Check the roadmap, multiplayer should be the next large update.
@@Astra2do u know if he’s making multiplayer like don’t starve where people make their own servers or is it smth like the cloud servers he had with blockheads, also is there a way to view the game or play it from a single sapiens perspective?
@@takuma359 Do you mean peer to peer? I think it will be cloud servers but might be peer to peer as well. Also no, you can't play from a sapiens perspective but there's an option to follow one around.
Great update !! It would be fun if in the in the future meteorological events were related to some regions (like you could be in a biome were there's a lot of rain but no windstorm, so thatch would be a good building material but mudbrick would not be)
Love the progression im looking to start making my own game, your ideas have given me more to think about, im looking to make an rpg
I love the new grass texture!
23:26
Will get to see some in-game “BlockHeads” Easter Eggs?… maybe on Easter Sunday?
Love love loooovvve your game!!!!
I really like this game
I'm gonna save some money.
What is your best suggestion for viewers/ Sapiens gamers that want to provide you game suggestions that you’ll actually read?
That storm looks terrifying for the NPCS. Hopefully the step into the bronze age makes them feel better.
this game has so much potential, I love it. You should get a designer team behind you and work on clothing, cotton and whatnot. Harvesting and crafting or fletching. Maybe some milestones to have the items locked behind it. Bronze age, Iron age , middle ages and so on so on. Smithing weapons from steel. I love what you are doing and I know working solo is hard. Keep up the good work! There are so many ideas. :)
This game has sooo much potential for Multiplayer, trade, and so much more
Rough Flat rocks/ smooth flat river rocks
Would be useful
Rough flat rocks would be quarried or found around the world and it would used for small buildings (just walls and floors)
And smooth flat rocks would be found only by the water and spawn more frequently than the Rough rocks
And the smooth rocks would be used to sharpen tools, cooking or floors
Anyway love the new updates and the copper tools!
+ copper shouldn't cut granite but its alright since its a game
When hitting, “rebuild” and switching up material types, what happens to the materials of the previous build?
13:36
Will we have Monsoons, hurricanes, dust devils, tsunamis, heatwaves, whiteouts, droughts, tornadoes, floods, stampedes, migrations, earthquakes, avalanches, sinkholes, mudslides, snow and hail depending on the biome location and season?
Sweet, this looks good.
I like the compost, now we can get rid of the rot piles.
Storage limits YAY.
I love the Comment " I did it because I could get away with it"
So what inspired the Wind event ?
Was the Cyclone Gabrielle or did you visit Wellington.
Thanks Dave.
Awesome update!!
would be cool if you could build a megabuild, like pyramids (with big square bricks)
Love this game. A thought, animal husbandry. A great flow of evo.
Horse raising too and maybe use horse for carriage would be nice
Windstorm looks stunning! What happens to water sources during a storm? :O
Pretty cool update. I would like to share some of my thoughts. Keep up the good work!
Do the storms happen only on a section of the planet, or planet wide? Would be realistic to no be all at once. :)
Would trees also be able to fall down and damage anything that is below it? That would be a cool mechanic.
It would be nice if there was like a little bit of time between the first clouds rolling in and the wind beginning to pick up before the storm extually happend. That way you would have a little bit of time to react and make some last minute repairs, just like in real life.
Please add the rare possability for a storm to be a lightning storm. Lightning could start a tree and building fire!
I'm curious about the windstorms, is it like IRL where their frequency (and intensity) depends on topography and the proximity to equator and large bodies of water? Or is it just the same everywhere?
i agree also snow storms?
It's been a long while since I could play, so I can't remember...
Is there a feature where those who research a new topic can then teach it to others, who learn it at a faster pace? If not, I think that would be a nice feature to add.
I mean, in reality, learning/discovering something new does take time. But when it's learned, that new knowledge/skill can then be taught to others in a fraction of a time since the hard part has already been done.
I just got Your game. It's fantastic! Im enjoying every minute :D. I just wish there was a GOG or any other DRM free version available for purchase so I could play it at work :D. But, shh... i never said anything about playing at work :P. Great game, so much fun!
bring back the blockheads
will there be more animals to hunt or even to farm as life stock in the future? cuz atm the Lama's get hunted down really fast and mammoths take to long to pass by again , or even don't migrate in the tropicals. Maybe even some predator animal like wolf or crocodile in the tropicals. Also fishing using nets made of flax or rods with ropes and bone hooks for fishing the rivers..
It's been so long mate, how's it going!
yoo I've never got in so early. good work dude, you are a great source of inspiration for me and my game. I aspire on having a solo gamedev journey similar to yours :D
Textures on the different rocks will really help accessibility. Im colourblind and ive got next to zero ability to distinguish the ore types lmao
Been following this project for a good few years now, it's inspiring. Have you considered diseases at all? I feel like it would be a great addition
An indicator for the current season would be nice, as in some biomes it’s difficult to tell what season it is, plus maybe a year counter
Whats with all the colors on the side of the mountain, are those biomes?
Are you able to interact with other groups of settlers outside of your starter one? would love to be able to make different villages/castles in one world and let them interact in some way
Not yet
There are just smal groups that you can invite to you tribe
I would like to see multiplayer. I know this is something you already have planned. This game could be really good as a pvp game too.
How will things like copper and granite generation work when upgrading? Will you need to create a new world or venture really far to generate these materials?
Early playtester here. The new rock types and minerals will generate in the existing terrain of your world. When you update the existing terrain hex types will be slightly different because of this.
@@xxzippyzachxxThank you. That's what I was hoping for 😁
Hi, Dave!
DAVEEE WE NEED WAR!, ALLIANCES, RAIDS >:) new clothes, historically period clothes! maybe mods or something
Great massive! massive update! This is starting to look a little bit like Dwarf fortress! with random objects flying and hitting the npcs. I hope you can add more stuff like that to this game. Also please, please, please! can we have honey and mead and alcohol brewing!
loose systems that work together to make unique scenarios is the best, reminded me of DF too. would be nice to have like a history log of events for each sapien, so you can see whats happend when you off screen or just want a glimpse into the life of one of them
What’s the latest you are able to go in century wise.
The game looks awesome! Can you tame wolves, keep livestock, control the weather volatility in your world with a slider, and host a community server?
Is there still some development going on with this game?
It's one of my favourites, just a little bit too easy
This is a good update, inspired me to get into modding the game again. Anyone have mod ideas?
awesome!!!
Will we be able to equip our sapiens with warm cloths, shields, armor, etc?
I hope it wasn't asked or shown before:
How are you writing your engine? Which language do you use? C? C++? Rust? C# maybe?
And what graphics API do you use? OpenGL? DirectX? Vulkan?
I'm asking because maybe I will try to write my own engine just for fun and I'm looking for some examples how others tackle this.
A quick few things I was thinking about.
When you add natural disasters never make them too powerful that it could destroy peoples structure majorly. Like you did with the mudbricks and thatchroofs I think works well.
Or allow to build protections against it. So if you may add a storm with thunder and lightning and the lightning might cause a fire or something, allow the player to build measures against devastating destruction through it.
Also, since I have seen a lot of negative reviews on Steam of people saying you abandoned the game. Maybe show bits and pieces of what you are working on every now and then again. Just like a screenshot or something, this allows people to see that you are still active.
I have seen a game die this way and it would be super duper sad if that would happen to sapiens too.
16:07
Can we make underground storm shelters and cellars?
Really nice update but can we get a better way to travel. I dont know if so many player would want multiplayer without a good way to travel to each other.
I miss The Blockheads I wish you could bring it back
He doesn't care and it won't happen
sadly@@coolman36kmaway34
@@coolman36kmaway34I think he does Care
@@coolman36kmaway34and he will Make The Blockheads 2
@@coolman36kmaway34or Brings The Blockheads Back
What I would love to see is longer years. The 8 day cycle is too fast. Maby 12 days? 16 days? It's just that I barely register the time of year. Now it feels like Finnish summer. I love the game to high heaven BTW. Secondary fuel to fire would be nice too... like pete
I really believe this game would benefit from ressources getting harder to get in an area, forcing you to migrate
Hey Dave I know lots of people like and love your new game sapient and are excited to play! But there is one thing I want to talk about and it is that could you please bring back The Blockheads bring back online worlds please and thanks and revive our childhood memories and a lot of people would be happy😊
Did I just hear the Dave say in 0.5 he will be adding Trading?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?🤑💰🪙💵💸💳🧾💹❗❗❗
Pls make a the blockheads remaster
I know you're probably tired of hearing about it, but please give a small update to the blockheads so we can play it again
I like the storm but it does not effect the game that much, it would be cool if the sampiens got sick because of the rain and cold and thats why they need to make cloth to keep them self warm👍
Hi Dave, why don't you make more videos? It seems such a shame to waste your development progress by not communicating it
I’d really like to do more, but it’s purely a matter of prioritizing my time. The most important thing is the game, but it must be time for another video again soon.
@@majicDave Could you remaster The Blockheads, Dave? Remastering the game would encourage its fan base to return, and it would also be beneficial to make it available on Android, Steam, and other platforms.
@@majicDavethanks for getting back to me. I feel like my connection to the game and motivation to play comes from these Dev vlogs, having seen it grow from something so small. I can't speak for others but I imagine that could be the same for some. Just wanted to give that feedback. Anyway love what you do 👍
1:09 - the women went through wall :(
So still not regretting, not just making the game in unreal? 😅 I mean now with nanite and stuff, just curious.. I know you like that part of development and that is also a huge factor, but if we ignore that part
wind looks good.. Would add about 1000x the amount of particles.. visibility should be hindered a lot. This adds a lot to a storm event in games but most games never commit hard enough. 'But you can't play if visibility is too low' ... well yeah, a storm is supposed to hinder you. Commit to it.
Please bring us Archery, 😊
I played the demo and did not care for the controls on the people it's a bit too much of a micromanagement issue having to hand pick each villager to do a job, this was done away with in better build games that you would just click on the area an any available villager would go to do it. assigning work okay on farming but i think a good idea would be to color code each villager for example farmers would ware yellow and maybe a clothing style to fit this but sense its primitive tribes it would be just a color thing and later advance would be clothing style. I just think the characters need better interactions to things WHATEVER!
Religions could be fun
The Blockheads
Please back with The Blockheads multiplayer
Can you make the medical herps to be studied separately? I can not find garlic for the life of me. Played for hundreds of years, and spread the villagers all over. Still no go. I am getting kind off frustrated. And for the rest off you... Villagers can die from disease. Confirmed.
have you considered putting an easter egg reference to the blockheads in the game?
please allow us to run the blockheads servers for free from our own pc pleasz
Please put servers back on blockheads bring it back to life
