- In this video, we take a look at what is coming in the next major update, with AI tribes, sleds and new storage types, a whole bunch of new features and fixes, and of course multiplayer!
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.

I'm glad your ankle healed up, Dave
“Few months” … Dave, it’s been a year! 😂 Glad to have you back!
~12 months is a "few" no? :D

Request taken from my review:
The world is big and impressive but I would like to see some more detailed world-gen
> like visible swamps, cliffs, ravines, waterfalls
Please add an option to the crafting system for always have x in storage.
Crafting things can be a hassle, you want a spear, you have to make a spearhead at a crafting station, depending on your setup you need another one for assembling the spear (spearhead, stick, string < needs to be crafted as well) you see the problem? Either have multiple crafting stations for EACH step, and dont forget you need a sapien that does these steps or babysit the process and update one crafting station after each step. I suggest just have the sapien do the needed steps themselves if materials arent there!
Have not played in a while, the storage shelves are really nice, the game is getting along nicely, please consider some tweaks.
The maintain X option has been added and it’s a game changer, you should try out the unstable beta!
@@MrJoeFuego Good to hear!
It's great to hear that you will start doing more regular devlogs again. I always enjoy them.
Same :)
A devlog video is how I found out about the game.
It’s always a highlight of my day when I see a Saipans dev log. I’ve been following this from the absolute beginning and I’m so excited to see how this game has progressed. It’s been a bit difficult for me to show my admiration for your work in terms of monetary support, but after all this time I’m finally ready to buy the game and I cannot think of a better time after following you for this long in your journey.
I was always a HUGE fan of The Blockheads, so when I found out you were the same developer it blew my mind. Something about the whole game style of Saipans development just resonated so much with me and I’m glad it turned out so ❤
Wowzers mate, this is absolutely fantastic stuff. Congrats on the multiplayer implementation, it's awesome and the future is so bright for Sapiens as a whole.
Fantastic! I haven't played sapiens in a while, and with multiplayer I feel like it's time to give it a try again.
If you ask me, what sapiens need is the ability to play as a nomadic tribe. With a fantastically big world, I just itch to explore when I play. I think all it needs is some macro commands for you sapiens, something like "everyone, grab your bedroll and move this way..." and "everyone, settle down here for the night".

this game is completely addictive, very good and the best thing the developers did was the multiplayer, a server where many people can fit to create their tribes and villages. And why not their kingdoms and empires. but a fundamental part is missing, which is the combats between triples, both to capture and to enslave, but the game is very promising and I'm excited to play it a lot. So much so that I'm creating several series on my channel about it, both on the multiplayer server and when playing alone.
Don't work too hard, reflect from time to time. Your new workflow seems to be working for you but if you can work anywhere, you'll always be working and maybe won't notice.
Take care
I watched your devlogs when I was at University (studying game dev) starting in 2018. It's been great seeing the game grow and I purchased it on release but multiplayer is such an amazing feature. It's a perfect game for getting a group of mates in a discord call and just having a nice relaxing gaming session while still actually working towards something. Thanks for making it a reality.
Amazing, I feel like it's been over a year since I watched one of these updates. So much happened 😀
Very exciting dev blog to follow ☺
Good to hear from you again. I already feared, that Sapiens development stopped, so I'm very relieved the journey goes one
What an achievement! As a fellow programmer my mind is blown, it honestly seems impossible to make a game like this multiplayer. Amazing work!
definitely, that map scale still blows my mind for singleplayer
I have a feature proposal.
You mention that a build will be damaged over time if you don't log in for a while. I think that this is a good idea, but I also like the idea that you can prevent it with planning to a degree. So you can add the task of repairing specific things to your minions. So some things will be repaired while you are away. But that requires you to think about it and make them repair everything. If you miss something, it will get damaged over time anyways.
I can't wait for the stable release!
i really really want an waters-edge upgrade with fishing, nets and boats, and some crops related to that enviroment (like millet, sorghum, rice ie.). also craving weaving, animal husbondry, and more uses for animal hides, then just the sleeping-bag, maybe in a combination with weaving, so you can make cloth, shoes, pants, shirts, maybe even hats, for the fun of it, from both cloths and leathers :)
The sleds make such a difference, great addition.
I'm glad your doing better! I'm a huge fan of the devlogs, alway love watching these.
The game is looking so cool, multiplayer really brings it to life a lot. I can't wait to start a new playthrough on the new version's release!
Cant believe I found the dev's channel. Love your work man
Love the progress over the years, havent checked in for a bit but keep up the great work!
Awesome, AI tribes is exactly what I was waiting for to get the game
I promised it, i do it, I buy your game today and it's freaking awesome you're a legend and keep the hard work with the updates, specially with the iron age update
HOLY HECC, so weird that I just got to thinking about you 2 days ago wondering if everything was going well only to be gifted a devlog days later. Glad to see a new video!
Multiplayer is MASSIVE, I know what an undertaking that is and I'm impressed!
Hi Dave, I was just thinking about blockheads the other day. That game made some of the best memories I had with my friends when I was 10-14. Thank you so much for making it.
Wow its been a long time since i was watching these devlogs, something like since the very beginning, and it has come so far! Very cool that youre getting multiplayer in the game now. Cant wait to see more and sorry to hear about the ankle!
this is my favorite devlog series to follow
Totally caught me by surprise seeing this pop up in my subscriptions again! I didn't even realize this game was still in development! Great to see another vid! Well done, look like all the hard work is paying off!
Awesome to see you're still working on this. Have seen your videos every now and then for the past 7 years now. Went on to study Software Engineering at university recently. Time flies huh
I’m really excited for this update! I bought the game two weeks ago and played 40+ hours. I’m loving it! 🎉❤
So awesome that you're adding multiplayer...
If your wondering what to do for the long run ... Imagine if you start adding technological progression into the bronze age and one day even beyond.....
Also would love to see more options for custom buildings so we can make cool stuff
Jeez mate it's been a year since the last dev log and you've been cheffing up! This update makes me wonder if in the future tribes will be able to form relationships that benefit or negatively impact both, either being friendly or maybe fight each other or have disputes and wars, AI tribes could be neutral friendly or hostile, just some ideas but nonetheless awesome work!
I'm really excited to see how you develop the sapiens personalities and ai. It'll be interesting to see what kind of autonomous activities and shenanigans they get into (like tag between children, or random conversation between villagers). However, you've done a great job already and I'm really impressed with what you've accomplished so far.
Good to see another video from you! It’s been really cool seeing the process on this unique game and it’s cool to see it develop a community! I really need to finally buy the game soon.
Good to see you're still at it, Dave. Makes me happy to hear you settled into healthy and more productive routine!
Amazing work, the game has come far since release :D Can't wait to try it out with the multiplayer and maybe bring in some friends
LOVE IT! Thank you for the vid!!!
Looks great. Are the icons for the other tribes visible just for testing? I was thinking that it would be interesting if you do not see any icons when you start your game. But when your sapiens explore and find tribes or other points of interest and return with that inormation to your settlement, you can choose to see and manage the icons you discovered. This will make exploration more interesting. Maybe rock-tribe icon for tribe that you prefer to trade rocks from. The locations could be used as a currence. When trading with another tribe you both could decide if you want to trade any of your explore locations, adding them to the other tribes map-icons. I trade the knowledge of where the fisher tribe and the evil raider camp is if you reveal where the mammoth-herds and the volcano with the obsidian are.
would like to see nomad gameplay and horses maybe. i have been loving this game. i will drop a video soon about it! Awsome Job Dave!
This is really impressive! I’ve really looked forward to the multiplayer in the game
Thanks Dave!! Love these devlogs and love your game!
Very good News! :D
Great improvments, totally love your game Dave!
When this game is complete finished, im sure its will be best game ever.
Please add fishing 🎣
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Always a pleasure whenever a devlog is released 😁
Wonderful gentlemen
Yay! More news 😊 great to see you again my man!
This type of game has opportunity for emergent gameplay. All the best with development!
Dang, I forgot about this game. Looking good!
Glad you are feeling better. Looking good so far!
Adding multiplayer to this game is amazing. Being able to visit the neighbour tribes so easily is excellent too.
It's impressive that you can run so many AI tribes at once. How does that work?
Next please add discover a wheel and carts with Husbandry that we could raise chickens in pens ;)
You can actually catch animals by surrounding them with water, and use alpacas as a manure farm.
From my testing they don't seem to multiply tho.
I can finaly buy this for my mates and play it with them, thanks legend! :D
But what kind of multiplayer is this technically? Is a server applied for the whole planet with a maximum playercount for one time? Or have you implemented some kind of loading between multiple areas? Or have you gone full Star Citizen and connected them seemlessly? 😅 (ok, maybe not that one)
Glad to see another devlog! 😊
thanks for the update great vid
Good job future proofing
Finally
This is really cool! Congrats dave
Id love if sapiens would need water.
Like you would have to collect rain or get hydration from fruit if there is no river near by.
Anyhow I'm happy to see there is still development going on.
Suggestion:
Castes - Ranks but they are actually a collection of various tasks that can be assigned to someone's family line.
Example: A Hunter caste could have the butchering task, the cooking task, and the hunting task
Velmi dobre,, jen tak dale,, skvela hra
Excited you're back Dave :D
I am glad you are back! I had been checking to see if you would post another devlog! I have yet to get deep into Sapiens but I plan on it! I am also a game developer, I know this is a super annoying question to ask these days but what are your thoughts on someone these days making a game with a custom game engine, do you recommend it???
Great game. Super chill! Some thoughts about what could be a good addition:
Any chance we can make a hunting group so the mammoth isnt attacked by 1 guy? Worst case 1 elder slow walking guy that auto assigned to hunting
Can we have something like the AutomatedRoles Mod? Its odd to see elders chase a alpaca instead of a fit adult. Tasks that can be self assigned to all 3 Kinds, child, adult, elder
If we manage multiple bases / outposts we kinda need somethink to prevent people walking a far way to do a job which got the priority mark - sadly i have no clear idea how this could be implemented. Radius zones over the base to limit the walk distance could have bad side effects - Rimworld reference here, there we can add work zones to people in the colony
Starting new can be a test in patience, is even faster forward possible?
There are some mods for this but they break quite easy and get deleted out of the latest safe right after crashing.
Thanks for the update! :)
I really like Sapiens. i really like the Sapiens of other players. They'd look formidable on a skullspike.
Is PvP something you want to have in your game? What are your thoughts on that?
Is blockheads multiplayer ever coming back? I’d like to play with my friends and it was my whole childhood I still play it everyday offline 😔
4303 Hours of time played. Nice.
very nice
Canoes would be useful to carry more stuff
Please add family trees and let us make someone king, so we can build dynasties
Will we have The Blockheads game back?
Just out of curiosity (no judgments and rudeness in the dialogue, to be more honest).
Amazing rolles auto
let's goooooo
Can you revive The Blockheads game back to the life? It was my favourite game back then, and still playing it.
Dave is still working on Sapiens as it’s a young game but he does have plans to bring Blockheads back once he has finished with Sapiens.
Niiiiiiiiice!!!
My Docker Server in a Video, nice :D By the way is there any mechanic to restart server safely after X time? Then it could auto update.
It's been a YEAR??
*OsamaBinLaggin has entered the chat.*
**Server Crashed**
I find the sleds to be a little anoying. It should be the last storage area people use when it's in your base, but its often the first. If you move it to something far away they don't seem to want to use it and I've had to make a storage area and move it from there to the sled. Not the worst, but a little anoying. Over all I like the update
Is sapiens a generally peaceful game, or in multiplayer servers will there be raids, etc? Curious :)
ppl need water!!! 😁😁😁
One day I'll have the money to buy the game!
(It's not overpriced, the economy just sucks here)
you could make it so if children move things they could damage the items or destroy some items by accident
can you work on more then one tribe per map
Right where the part with the "there are probably no crashes" was, the game crashed lol
PS: It was when I clicked "manage relations with tribe"
1:25 jump scared me
lol
Missed your voice!
big
Am I the only one who is having the bug, where hunters refuse to move until they get manually sent somewhere?
If they are wounded, but otherwise no
@@alspezial2747 When they are severely wounded, they lay on the ground and have that red bed-icon over their heads.
But when that bug occurs, and it happens regularly when I hunt alpacas or mammoths, they just stand there frozen with their spears in their hands.
@Funnysterste i haven't seen this bug yet
You shouldn’t be able to move your camera to other tribes, unless you have a sapien in that area. Not knowing who’s watching your tribe is a little unsettling.
I disagree, its cool to see what people have built
mam odehrano 12 dni skoro 300h.. nikdy jsem nevydrzel tak dlouho u zadne hry..
Do there is pvp?
BRING BACK BLOCKHEADS ❤
Pleaaaaaaaaase tell me what’s happening with blockheads, we want an update :(((((((
devlog 63... no one got anything on this guy!
Why not hire developers to make the game updates faster
Throwing more developers at a problem does not increase productivity.
Please do a remake of the blockheads, i miss your childhood game
