solo developer, so you are making EVERYTHING by yourself? All models, animations, coding, music, sound effects, UI, marketing, trailers... everything? Or are you using many freelancers? That's not solo, don't degrade freelancers like that.
I just cant believe that single studio developers are making better games than triple A studios. I wish you nothing but the best and may your game sell millions of copies
These big companies think they'll ditch devs for AI, but nothing's stopping those devs with better know how to use AI in the future too and not need corporate over their heads to stifle their passion projects.
You should really add more color to those buildings so players can distinguish them easily from above. Like flags, posts, something. Otherwise, really good looking game and using the best features of Settlers.
That's actually an issue I have with Manor Lords. Great game, but many of the buildings are difficult to pick out, and even worse when you're trying to find a tiny hut in the middle of a forest or something.
Had the same thought when watching the vid. Either have an easy shortcut so the name of the buildings pop up above it, or use flags (axe on the woodcutter, pixaxe for the mining hut, etc)
I hope the will stop making BAD RTS. This one is one of the only ones that caught my attention. The new Age of Mythology looks like a mobile game and no one is saying anything!
The painting tool for foresters and farms is absolutely genius. It's a real pain in pioneers with those damn squars for farming and the working area of foresters being huge! Epic work Sir. Can't wait to see it's release!
Looks really amazing! My only suggestion is when the cursor goes through resources, instead of appearing a tooltip, I think it is more intuitive if you change the cursor icon, like transform in into an axe when goes through trees, or a pickaxe when you move your cursor through stones. It will look cleaner, love your style btw :)
@@thefirstexplorers as for cursors and suggestions, at 4:04, the cursor is on the right side of the highlighted building, and it's hard to see. Better contrast or something maybe? Looking great though.
this is a dream come true for me. so far, this is everything i've wanted. i still play S3 whenever i have some free time so this is being bought as soon it releases.
I can't believe this is happening, I've waited 20 years for another settlers 3/4. Definitely going to buy this on day 1. Please also add a map creator tool for custom maps and campaigns.
Wow. This looks really great. I've started working on a game with, technically speaking, very similar applications implemented and/or planned. So, I have a good idea how one would do many of the things you showcase here and you've truly impressed me! All the best with the game. I've just joined the Discord server - it will be fascinating to keep an eye on your progress!
it is gonna be a looong ride if they use the Early Access model. They will be entangled into the community needs, constant fixes and changes, till there is no point in ever releasing fully....if ever. I wishlisted , but i do not have high hopes. Those games tend to be more like "projects" endlessly
@@ZeroKaname99 Claiming these are solo developer games is misleading to be honest. Manor Lords got around 2m$ funding and hired a lot of freelancers to aid with the project. It is in no shape or form a solo developer game. That is just a blatant lie. I don't know about this game but I highly doubt it is really a "solo developer" game.
@@NavhkrinFreelancers are not developers. You need to think about what the word developer means. The freelancers as I understand it were mostly motion capture experts and people to help with art.
followed, wishlisted. Good luck man. so good to see so many solo or small teams making good, quality games. looking forward to this. keep up the nice work :)
Looks amazing. GG on the very detailed house building animations. I love how they come together piece by piece. That must have taken a lot of love and effort.
For what it seems your inspiration is The Settlers 3. I loved that game when I played when I was a child and just some years ago I had the opportunity to play it fully, not only the demo, and I loved it as much as I did when I played as I child. I really wished to see more modern version of The Settlers 3, good to see I lived to see a game like it!
Man that's looking great, both gameplay & aesthetics-wise! I guess Settlers had the advantage that a more cartoony style makes it easier to tell apart unit types at a glance, but I really like what you're going for too.
Damm how have I not know about this?!! This is right up my alley! Looks amazing mate cannot wait, everything looks amazing. The water, the buildings the animations THE MUSIC!
Finally someone with understanding of Settlers legacy.. Definitely will put this game on my watch list and will be checking up on it in the future.. Good luck and thanks for trying to keep that great game type alive..
Danke, dass du uns S3 und S4 Fans abholst und Hoffnung gibst! Es sieht fantastisch aus und wirkt schon jetzt sehr detailreich. Ich hoffe du bleibst dran und es kommt in den EA, damit du dich Vollzeit drum kümmern kannst! :) Sicher weißt du das, aber mit Settlers United gibt es noch eine enorme Fanbase für S3 und S4. Ich hoffe, dass dich alle freundlich begleiten und unterstützen. Du musst das Rad nicht neu erfinden, es reicht wenn es rund läuft und das Fahren Spaß macht.😊
Danke für die lieben Worte :) Ich hab S3/S4 früher als Kind / Jugendlicher rauf und runter gespielt und ich wollte einen S3/S4 Nachfolger im Geiste machen 😊 SU kenne ich natürlich; ich würde mich über Feedback von SU Spielern sehr freuen; gerne die Werbetrommel rühren 😁
quick suggestions for some QoL-stuff: When conquering a new area by expanding, a button which highlights the new available recources would be very handy. It's pretty hard to estimate how much area the farm are needing for a good effiency. There some tooltip 'd be nice.
I already planned a metric that will show the efficiency of the painted workarea :) Regarding the first suggestion: Where would you put the button and would it be a switch?
I guess the algorithm worked, eventually. Never heard of this and got it suggested today and it is right up my alley. Looks great so far and I hope you’re proud! I look forward to play some form of this game when it’s ready. Settlers mixed with AoE sounds very fun.
A suggestion: Put formation options for the army, in line, square, circle... so that it makes more difference in the battle, as in most strategy games the soldiers are all spread out, without any type of strategy.
Hey Buchwald, erstmal vielen Dank für deine Arbeit! Sieht wirklich sehr vielversprechend aus und ich denke das Spiel wird ein voller Erfolg. Wenn man beachtet, dass du fast alleine all das auf die Beine gestellt hast, ist das wirklich eine beeindruckende Leistung! Feedback von mir: Ich finde die UI im Game könnte noch überarbeitet werden. Die Funktionalität passt sehr gut aber ich finde den Stil der UI zu modern im Kontext des ganzen Spiels. Da würde ich irgendwie etwas nehmen, was auch mehr an den restlichen, sehr realistischen Stil des Spiels angepasst ist. Ich würde mir neben den Straßen auch ein System wie in Siedler 4 wünschen. Da ist es ja so, dass die Siedler selbst Straßen bilden wo sie oft lang laufen. Vielleicht könnte man sowas auch einbauen und wenn man dann seine eigenen Straßen bauen will, hat man trotzdem die Möglichkeit. Mein Highlight-Feature ist das Zeichnen des Arbeitsbereichs mit dem Pinsel. Besonders bei der Getreidefarm habe ich mir so ei Feature immer gewünscht. Weiter so ich freue mich auf das nächste Gameplay Video!
Guten Abend, erstmal vielen Dank für das Lob. - Das UI ist noch weit entfernt von fertig; an was für einen Stil hast du gedacht? - Das mit dem Pfad zertrampeln ist bereits im Spiel implementiert Komm gerne auf den Discord, dort können wir das UI Thema weiter diskutieren :)
UI ist so okay. Für die Atmospähre eventuell mehr mittelalterliche Icon Symbole verwenden. Generell finde ich weniger Symbole auf dem Bildschirm immer gut. Im Vergleich ist Pioneers of Pagonia total überladen. Kurz: Passt schon, nur 'hübscher'. Echt schick, das hier.
I am so glad there are people like you with passion and wisely using your time to guide the way for the a new era of games development, amazing work, just subscribed, I loved Settlers IV when I was younger, but never fully grasped it because I was too young to understand the mechanics. Now, I will be able to understand the concept behind it, but through your game!
Not bad, not bad. Looks like a spiritual successor to settlers 3. I especially like the easy acess to the tools menu. About the food production we will see how it feels in the finished game. Hopefully the answering sounds are just placeholders by now, they sound annoying.
Love the kind of more arcade city management that looks forgiving compared to manor lords and what looks like to be more of a pvp territory oriented game, kinda like tropico
6:52 Has a nice drawing on the ground. But all that being said, looking forward to this one, it looks great. Good job and thank you sir for this jewel.
Already looking like the best new Settlers game :) thank you Mr. Buchwald I still hope though, in the end, all buildings will have more unique looks and not be the same wood and stone assets :) Maybe it's just some more different textures or variants in the textures which would be enough.
Hey there! Thanks for the kind words. I have good news for you. The buildings that will get available in the second and third settlement tiers will have different material mixes. Also the building designs presented in the video are not final yet.
First of, developers who make these types of games had this fascination of ancient civilizations when they were a kid as they imagined what it was like. You take that obsession to a whole new level and you have this game. This is what the developer sees in their mind. And we are thankful to see this! Buying it for sure!
Folge dem Game schon ein Weile und bin gespannt, wie es sich entwickeln wird. Schaut irgendwie mehr nach Siedler im Geiste aus, als Settlers selber und Pagonia. Beste Wünsche!
Love it, seems like a good blend of settlers 2 core gameplay, along with a settlers 3 art style with modern controls. Looking forward to how you will make the combat, if you go the strict route of S2, or the free of S3 or as many other RTS. Exiting 😁
@@thefirstexplorers Heritage of Kings was my jam personally, but Settlers is Settlers. I've wanted someone to take the old formula and modernise it for a long time. The Settlers is an underappreciated series that more people should know about

Wirklich geil, leider Liebe ich technologie und den Fortschritt von Civ einfach zu sehr. Wenn das noch dabei wäre würde das Gane echt alle Konkurrenten wegfegen. Aber auch so ist es geisteskrank was du als Solo Entwickler auf die Beine gestellt hast. Echt impressive. Wenn du noch jemand suchst um so ein game im Civ Style zu machen, bin dabei:)
Es wird mehrere Siedlungsstufen geben mit denen du neue Gebäude und Einheiten während einer Partie freischaltest. Technologien im klassischen Sinne kommen evtl. auch, aber das muss dann auch das playtesting zeigen. Oder was meinst du mit Technologien und Fortschritte wie in Civ?
@@thefirstexplorers ja genau, klingt mega geil! :) Liebe bei Civ den Start in der Antike und die Entwicklung bis in die Zukunft. Auch die Veränderungen der Ästhetik, metropolen etc. Der Start von deinem Spiel sieht ehrlichgesagt noch viel geiler als bei Civ aus. Ich werds auf jeden Fall spielen, ob mit technologiefortschritt oder nicht. :) wie groß sind denn die karten? Vergleichbar mit der größten civ map, oder vergleichbar mit "Huge Map" Mods von Civ?
@@thefirstexplorers Vielen dank für deine Antwort, cool wäre dann, wenn du die Anzahl vom Erz, Anzahl Feinde usw.. jedes mal ändern kannst. Sobald das Spiel auf Steam verfügbar ist, wird es gekauft. Weiterhin viel Erfolg
Do population not need to actually work in the buildings? I was surprised with just how many of each building type you were constructing at once. Seemed a little strange. If they do use population, perhaps each building should employ more workers so you don't need so many of each type.

any chance this will be released on mac os?
In general this should be possible, but I don't want to promise anything at the moment in this regard
They are generally better bc they know and care what gamers want

You can believe it now. Feels like it’s happening every month now.

quick suggestions for some QoL-stuff:
When conquering a new area by expanding, a button which highlights the new available recources would be very handy.
It's pretty hard to estimate how much area the farm are needing for a good effiency. There some tooltip 'd be nice.
I already planned a metric that will show the efficiency of the painted workarea :)
Regarding the first suggestion: Where would you put the button and would it be a switch?
@@thefirstexplorers definetly a switch. Lot of other RTS-type games have some buttons beside the minimap to have some features for visible stuff.

Prozedural generierte Karten stehen in meiner Roadmap, nur noch nicht sicher wann die kommen :)
@@thefirstexplorers Vielen dank für deine Antwort, cool wäre dann, wenn du die Anzahl vom Erz, Anzahl Feinde usw.. jedes mal ändern kannst. Sobald das Spiel auf Steam verfügbar ist, wird es gekauft. Weiterhin viel Erfolg
Klar, das wäre dann ein Teil der prozeduralen Generierung
I second that.
Wow! You are a working man! Very great and inspiring! The game looks so nice
Lass dir genug Zeit bis zum EA-Release, die Ansätze sehen sehr gut aus!
Looks great! I'm super excited to play it and we definitely need new fresh RTS games!
As long as there are battles against AI villages and not some nonsense fighting against fantasy creatures, what can go wrong?
No fantasy elements 😊
Looks awesome mate can't wait to play it 🎉
❤
may you continue this journey, looks fantastic
For the Glory of Rome!
I’ve go all the settlers this looks amazing 😍👏👏
Do population not need to actually work in the buildings? I was surprised with just how many of each building type you were constructing at once. Seemed a little strange. If they do use population, perhaps each building should employ more workers so you don't need so many of each type.
Workers work in production buildings, but the animations of the work cycles are not yet implemented. These will be added soon
This looks great mate :) cant wait to see come combat and other civs :)
Another sol developer, dam, how many of them are out there?
Incredible Game.
This looks like what i expected from pagonia.
cant wait to put my hands on it!!
Now this is the difference between a bunch of Programmers who get Payed to make a Game VS... a Gamer who makes a Game.
I hope there will be archers in the game! Wishlisted.
@@V4zz33 Yes, that's planned
@@thefirstexplorers That's great news! Looking forward to a playable build!
Have a great weekend!
this is EXACTLY what kind of game I have been looking for. Viel Erfolg Sebastian :) Ich hoffe es bald spielen zu können
It gives me vibes of the settlers IV :o
Oh my yes. This looks awesome. Big settler vibes here and I love it!!
