Hi together,
I recently received some posts and messages regarding the project state. Some of them even questioned if the project is still alive. (And yes, I know my long response times and rare postings led to this questions.)
Therefore I’m writing this post to say: This project is still alive! And it’s making some small progress. (As “proof” see the screenshots below.)
However, obviously the progress isn’t as fast as many of you and me would like it to be. This is caused by insufficient time resources on my side and especially on Michaels side, who mainly works on the UI.
During the last months, I was able to stabilize the game more and more, so that test players were able to play matches up to ten hours without the economy failing or other “game stopping” bugs appearing. This means the game logic is getting ready for a first open alpha phase on Linux, Mac and Windows (the performance on Android is not good enough yet). (And no, I don’t wanna name a release date yet!)
But just to be clear, the current game only contains the Romans and has not all of their buildings. For example there are no monks and ships. But the food production, mining, heavy industry as well as the soldier production are working. Multiplayer matches via Internet are also possible, but the UI lacks many features and isn’t kind of “ready”. We will work on this and I just got news from Michael, that he’ll also be able to work more on his part.
So much for now. Please excuse that I’m not that used to posting more often. I’ll try to inform you better and more often!
Best regards + much fun with the screenshots (about 12k Settlers were living in this game).

Any news at all?
Please give us some info about current project state
Please tell me the project is still alive. I am waiting so much for this to be released. The last update is now almost one year old :/
Still alive?
That is awesome!!! Can’t wait )) I’m a big fan of Settlers!
Daem, we need this remake so much. Please say me that the project is still alive! Maybe you should get some partners to increase the project speed.

…im waiting. 🙂
Any news 🙂
Bitte veröffentlicht euer Projekt auf GitHub. Ich wette, dass es viele Leute geben würde, die euch mit zahlreichen comits helfen würden.
Daumen hoch! Weiter so!
Any news?
Are you alive and well? Hope the thesis went okay, really hungry for news. 😉
Looks great!
Just stumbled across this… and all i’ve got to say is… i hope its STILL alive and kicking…
It would be nice if you can host an RSS feed/mailing list, so those of us who are VERY interested in the project be notified of any new messages 🙂
And as most of the people before me, I’m interested in helping (after I also finish my thesis which is with Java/Android 😀 )
Hi George,
many thanks for this idea! I added a link in the sidebar on the main page.
Best regards, Andreas
Please do, itching to blast this game 🙂 Just started on dune 2 for android I didn’t even know they did it..
Thanks and keep up the good work, id even pay when the game is finished 🙂
Hi everyone,
I know, I’ve not been updating the page regularly, but I want you to know, that it’s because I’m currently writing my bachelor thesis. When that’s finished to the mid of May, I will be able to focus and work more on the game again. And hopefully finally publish a first version.
Best regards and thanks for your support!
Andreas
Can’t wait 🙂
Viel Erfolg.

I don`t get it, there are plenty of people who volunteer to help out.. Use them ! 😀 really looking forward to this remake. I am no good with coding and stuff, but i would sure help out with funds 😀
Ich will das jetzt spielen 😀 Könntet ihr nicht einen Prototypen zum Download bereitstellen für den Pc ? Soweit ich dass sehen kann läuft es ja eigentlich ziemlich gut und würde auch helfen Bugs zu finden 😉
Hello, the current sample look great, can not wait to try out the Settlers Clone.
Will it have multi player for like windows ?
Robert
Will this be OpenSource? I bet a lot of people, including me, would help (a.k.a. providing code commits) if they had access to the code.
Wie wärs, wenn ihr das mit dem Studieren einfach lasst (bzw. schnell zu Ende bringt) und einen Kickstarter macht?
I would really like to help out some how. If needed, I can help with translation from English or German to Swedish, aswell as code routines in java/android. Anything needed, please email me and let me know.
Awesome!=) please keep working, i’d even pay to play this game!!!
Hey, i just wanted to thank you for all the effort you bring in to realize this project ! Its amazing to see what you both on your own have already accomplished so far. I really hope it will run in the future on Android too.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Steven
Wow!! That look’s amazing!!!!! I can’t wait till any version of this is available for testing on android!!! Keep it up people!!!
Dave
Damn, I would be really happy to test this game right now just to see how everything already works. This reminds me on those days when I was waiting for the first RttR “unstable something to show” release. Thats just great work at all, keep it up and I can’t wait being able to test it! 🙂 (Or create maps :>)
I really can’t wait : )
That looks just totally awesome. : )*Drools*
