Stop by and say hello!

Hey everyone!

We are super excited about the launch of HUMANITY Patch 1.07 today. It adds the Machines to STAGE CREATOR, allowing you to create and play stages with the mechanics seen in the STORY MODE's Sequence 7.

We initially held these items back as we didn't want to spoil some of the late-game story or mechanics and also give budding stage creators a chance to get familiar with the tools. But now it's time to let you run wild with these!

You can learn about the additions in this patch in the video embedded below.

The question now becomes, what will you make? And, with this new set of tools, what kinds of stages will we all be playing in USER STAGES both this week and in the future? Our team is super excited to see what people do with this—it opens up so many new options. Join our Discord and share your stage with us in the share-a-stage channel.

[h3]STORY MODE REMIX PLAYLIST[/h3]

If you're not a member of our Discord server already, you should definitely join up. In our creator-workshop channel, we've challenged our community to make stages that remix STORY MODE stages into something new. You can find a playlist of these stages live in the game right now, or search for them via the STORY MODE REMIX tag. The community has rethought some of our favorite stages from the campaign, and they are amazing.

Remixing an existing stage is a great way to start with the STAGE CREATOR. If you haven't made a stage yet, you might want to check out this playlist and consider what stage you'd like to rethink!

[h3]COMPACT CHALLENGES RETURN[/h3]

Our community has made so many awesome stages—from huge, sprawling levels that take up the entirety of the STAGE CREATOR canvas to the smallest 5x5 puzzles. The COMPACT CHALLENGES playlist offers smaller-scale puzzles with big challenges that might resemble what you've seen in the STORY MODE. Why not here if you're unsure where to start in USER STAGES? You'll find this playlist in the Library tab of USER STAGES.

Don't forget to join us on Discord to discuss the game, User Stages, and stage creation.

• [ALL] Machines have arrived in the STAGE CREATOR! Now you can create stages that include mechanics from the final Sequence of HUMANITY’s STORY MODE. Navigate to the MACHINES tab of the palette to find Turrets, Drones, Missile Units, and Lasers.
  
• [ALL] Machines, Others, and even people (including gates) can be designated as Blue Targets that need to be destroyed to trigger an event(s) in your stage, similar to activating a switch. Select an Others/Human group or Machine and choose CONNECT TARGET in the context menu, then select the item(s) it will activate or connect them to a Tandem-Link Switch. When you play the stage, a blue light will appear above these units.
  
• [ALL] The COSMOS environment (seen at the end of HUMANITY’s STORY MODE) is now available as a theme option for your creations.
  

• [PS5] When using the PS5’s built-in sharing features, posts to social media will now have a #HUMANITYgame hashtag.
  
• [STEAM] Added additional support for VR MODE on PCs with AMD graphics cards. This should address ghosting issues seen by users with AMD cards, but please submit a support ticket if those issues persist.
  
• [ALL] Modified FANS to make it easier to tell if they are on or off.
  
• [ALL] Fixed a bug where pushing pushable blocks from the top of a diagonal slope would not cause them to slide down.
  
• [ALL] In STORY MODE, fixed a bug preventing players from using the mouse to select stages or swap between Sequences.
  
• [ALL] In STORY MODE, fixed a bug where the player’s music selection would be forgotten when retrying a stage.
  
• [ALL] In STORY MODE, we believe we have fixed a bug where the "Wonderdog" trophy/achievement could not be obtained after completing all seven challenges. Please submit a support ticket if you still experience this.
  
• [ALL] In USER STAGES, fixed a bug where the Goldy acquisition sound effect would incorrectly play during a loading screen after completing a stage.
  
• [ALL] In USER STAGES, fixed a problem when line breaks were pasted into the search field.
  
• [ALL] In USER STAGES, sorting preferences will now be retained when returning to search results after playing a stage.
  
• [ALL] In STAGE CREATOR, the cursor will turn into an X when trying to place a block where it cannot be placed.
  
• [ALL] In STAGE CREATOR, fixed a phenomenon where a stage’s Data Size wouldn’t update when a switch was deleted.
  
• [ALL] In STAGE CREATOR, fixed a bug that prevented a Glass Wall item from being moved when a climbing wall was attached to it.
  
• [ALL] Miscellaneous adjustments and fixes.

On the user-generated content side of things, allow us to crow a little about our amazing community. Players around the globe continue to make amazing stages of all kinds. Some play off of the mechanics already found in the Story Mode. But there are even more that take the base mechanics to make artwork, challenging kaizo levels, chill puzzle stages where you lay out all your commands first, platforming-focused stages, and much more.

For example, allow us to introduce you to BALL ACCURACY TEST by MasterCarlos53. This stage differs from Story Mode's standard "get to the goal" HUMANITY levels. When the stage opens, it previews what it wants you to do: line up boulders so they'll hit block switches. Some are stationary and easier, and others are positioned on motorized platforms. As you see in this clip, use the Follow command to move the humans to the right people switch that'll open a route for the boulder, then set a ramp either close or far, depending on where you need it to go. The more targets you hit, the more Goldy you can lead to the goal! Finishing with just one is simple. Can you get all three? Play this stage and many more in the User Stages mode of HUMANITY.

Don't forget to join us on Discord to discuss the game, User Stages, and stage creation.

Now get out there and save some $$$ on HUMANITY!
