Hey HUMANITY players!

We recently published the fifth installment of our Gameplay Overview Series videos, this time covering Advanced Tips. It covers some level traversal, directing the humans within small spaces, weapon strengths, and more. Maybe even a few things you didn't already know! Here it is embedded for easy viewing...

THE SHIBA GAME FEST IS ON

User Stage playlists have been updated including one called SHIBA GAME FEST, featuring 24 user-made stages within HUMANITY that are homages to or inspired by video games. You'll find a lot of great content in here from a huge Kirby that (yes) actually inhales, to a Hitman-esque level where stealth and sabotage is your weapon. It's really great stuff.

WE HEART YOU, CREATORS

We'd also like to take this opportunity to shout out our community of stage creators. We're closing in on 3,000 user-made stages and are constantly blown away by what we're seeing/playing. Mechanics we didn't think were possible are being attempted by people just like you every day and we can't thank you enough.

THE MORNING WALK

In case you weren't aware, we have a daily hour-long stream where we play user-made stages. It's called the Morning Walk. Follow us on twitch.tv/EnhanceExperience or our YouTube channel.

CREATORS, JOIN OUR DISCORD

If you're making levels, playing levels, etc. you should definitely join our Discord. We have a channel in there called #share-a-level and you can share your stages directly with us there or even share levels you didn't make but think are awesome. Chat with others about making stages or just lurk and play some of the levels people share. Either way, we'd love to have you join.
