Settlers 1 remake

Posted on by

Update: More info here.

Here’s a quick preview of something I’ve been working on.

As you can see, it uses the graphics from the original game. It is beginning to approach a state where it’s actually playable. Here’s some more screens for your viewing pleasure:

    Do you know about the widelands project?

  • Jon Lund Steffensen

    @k: yes.

  • Human Ktulu

    Wow, that is very very good news :)
    For me Settlers is better of all settler series (I like settler 4 too but it’s different, I like Settler 6 but it’s not a settlers game). I dream to see one day a version with amiga sound & music, widescreen resolution and multiplayer/coop support UDP/TCP.
    Good luck, I will fallow your progress :)

    Looks great. Settlers 1 was the best Settlers of all times, with its total focus on civilian stuff and lack of military options. And its soundtrack is still something I used to put on when I am feeling nostalgic. Whatever you do, please make sure it remains possible to use the original Settlers 1 graphics and music!

    Hey,

    Great to see someone else creating a remake of S1.
    As you can see on my website http://www.vanmensel.be, I also started on creating a remake a few years ago but I didn’t find the time to finish it.
    Keep up the good work!

    Wow, thats awsome! Please finish that work!
    I’m still playing S1 on a 386 with DOS, but a version having a multiplayer option via network would be much better that the good old spliscreen.
    I hope you will release a playable version some day!

    hey, great work!
    I am interested in that game, is there any test version yet? ^^

  • Roy

    This looks great – I still play the Amiga version on WinUAE. Looking forward to seeing a playable version.

  • kev

    any idea when this will be finished? or a playable version?

  • Villy

    OMG! OMG!

    I could write and ode, how happy this project makes me, and how sett1 was/is still the best, but I’m going to keep it short.

    Good luck with your work, and keep us informed:

    Could you please post your sources for the extraction of gfx from the original serf city game? I am done working on adding serf city into widelands and the only thing is the missing sprites. I think all of us we will appreciate that!

  • Da_Kaos_Child

    Absolutly astounding , xD

    High res Sett 1 , is like a dream come true :)

  • foobar

    Wow, I really like the Settlers 1 (aka SerfCity). The graphic is so amazing also Settlers 2 is pretty good. The rest of it is complete shit.
    So when do you expect to release it? Did you consider colaborative development using GitHub?

  • Da_Kaos_Child

    Just a thought seen as how your adding a few handy features.

    If you could set a Button/Key to change the game Speed , As a level 5 map can take a good 10 hours.

    And multiplayer stable for that long would be difficult so perhaps options for Multi Player for 5x 10x 15x 20x speed.

    This would make a 4 player game of a size 8 map playable in about 4 hours i guess

    Hi,
    great project! I am currently trying to extract the graphics from the settlers data files but was only able to gain access to the intro graphics. Where did you get these informations from? Could you please share these infos with me or maybe give me some hint how to go on?
    Thank you very much!

  • christian

    Im also interested in this game.
    My main question is how the card codes work in free play.
    For example which code do I have to enter if I want much mountains in the game.
    Because of that Im also interested in some source code of the settlers 1, if it would exist.

  • Frank

    Hi, great work you have done so far! I was interested in how you got the original sprites out of the game? Thanks!

  • http://www.nenriki.org Vladimir

    Hey, any news??

  • krytie

    I am still playing settlers 1 now, it is by far the best in the series that i have played(yet to play seven) this and k240 helped me maintain a healthy lack of friends through childhood. I hope you do find the time to finish your work and perhaps add a couple of features on top .
