In this video I look back at the entire creation process. From right at the beginning with early sketches and ideas, to creating the custom engine and huge world of Sapiens, the refinement of the design, content, and game-play, and then finally pushing that green button and sending it out to the world.
It's been a long, and at times difficult process, filled with many obstacles to overcome. The development of Sapiens has changed my life. I've learned so much, and grown both as a developer and a person.
But there is still a lot of work to do, and I'm looking forward to leading Sapiens to its full potential, through Early Access and beyond.

You can now als…0.6.1.2 - BugfixesNew in 0.6.1.2: · Pregnant, elderly and children sapiens now move away from sapiens belonging to hostile or unmet tribes · Fixes bug where restricted building materials wouldn't be saved if you placed a building without issuing the build order · Fixes bug where the 'build more' button on the radial menu didn't copy the correct building materials · Fixes bug where in-progress placed/built object…
