🕶️ A view of its UI with on the main part, an isometric view of a portion of an area of the planet on which survival facilities are linked together by tunnels. In the center of the screen, an overlay window informs the player of the resources extracted from the ground (metals, minerals). At the bottom right of the screen, a mini-map shows a reduced view of the area displayed on a much larger surface, with a crater and a few yellow and many red dots that seem to represent the settlements. At the bottom left, the buildings available to be connected. At the top of the screen a bar showing the resources and the state of satisfaction of the population.

What is OutpostHD?
OutpostHD is a remake of OUTPOST by Sierra On-line from 1994. It's not a clone of OUTPOST -- it's an entirely new game inspired by OUTPOST's core mechanics while providing a more complete and satisfying experience than the original ever could.
For up to the minute information, please visit The Outpost Universe's Forums. You may also view OutpostHD's Forum Thread for additional details or to participate in the discussion.
Playing
OutpostHD is still a work in progress with lots of active development, so things may still be a bit rough and incomplete (not entirely unlike the original). To give it a try, head over to the Releases page and download a recent copy.
You may also be interested in reading the Player Guide.
How To Play
OutpostHD plays a lot like the original Outpost with significant streamlining in the set up process for the initial game. The basics are simple – land your SEED Lander, land your cargo and colonists, begin mining operations and maintain good control over your resources. Make sure you keep your people happy and expand your operations to include manufacturing, medical facilities, education and begin research.
Project Goals
Primary Goals
☐ Develop a new, modern code base that can be built and run on multiple platforms including Windows, macOS and Linux
☐ Implement the core gameplay mechanics from OUTPOST
☐ Provide a better interface from which the user can get better feedback from their Colony
Secondary Goals
☐ Replace the original graphics with new, unencumbered assets
☐ Add the ability to establish new colonies on the same planet
Tertiary Goals
☐ Implement a multiplayer mode where other users can establish colonies on the same planet or different planets/moons within the same star system
🌍️ Wikipedia: (Outpost)
Outpost is a video game developed and published by Sierra On-Line in 1994. The game was noteworthy for having a hard science fiction approach, with one of the main designers being a former NASA scientist.
Outpost was released for Windows 3.1 and the Macintosh. It was followed by a loosely related sequel, Outpost 2: Divided Destiny.
Story
A massive asteroid named Vulcan's Hammer is detected to be on a collision course with Earth, and all attempts to divert it from this path have failed. The last attempt, firing a large nuclear warhead at the asteroid, actually ended up splitting it not into five chunks (which would have averted disaster) as humanity hoped, but rather two asteroids. Now, instead of destroying the earth, it will simply wipe out nearly all life on Earth's surface. Extinction is not an option, and so a mission is organized to create a colony on a world elsewhere in the galaxy as the last hope for mankind's survival. The player is in charge of that mission.
Reception
Initial reviews of Outpost were enthusiastic about the game. The American version of PC Gamer rated the game at 93%, one of its highest ratings ever for the time. It was later made known that the reviewers had in fact played beta versions of the game, and had been promised certain features would be implemented, but never were.
Indeed, many of the features described in the game's own documentation simply did not exist in the game at all. These included the ability to enter diplomatic relations with the rebel colony and the ability to build roads, orbital colonies, or the mass driver. Many of these gameplay aspects were later patched in, though in appearance only, as many of them failed to have any meaningful effect on gameplay.
Following the release of the game, the game's general bugginess and perceived mediocre gameplay, along with the lack of features described in most of the game's reviews and the game's own documentation led to a minor backlash against the computer game magazines of the time by consumers who bought the game based on their reviews.
In 1996, Computer Gaming World declared Outpost the worst computer game ever released.

Qu'est-ce que OutpostHD ?
OutpostHD est un remake d'OUTPOST de Sierra On-line datant de 1994. Il ne s'agit pas d'un clone d'OUTPOST, mais d'un jeu entièrement nouveau qui s'inspire des mécanismes de base d'OUTPOST tout en offrant une expérience plus complète et plus satisfaisante que l'original n'a jamais pu l'être.
Pour obtenir les dernières informations, visitez les forums de The Outpost Universe. Vous pouvez également consulter le fil de discussion d'OutpostHD pour plus de détails ou pour participer à la discussion.
Jouer
OutpostHD est encore un travail en cours avec beaucoup de développement actif, donc les choses peuvent encore être un peu rudimentaires et incomplètes (ce qui n'est pas tout à fait différent de l'original). Pour l'essayer, rendez-vous sur la page Releases et téléchargez une copie récente.
Vous pouvez également consulter le Guide du joueur.
Comment jouer
OutpostHD ressemble beaucoup à l'Outpost original, avec une rationalisation significative du processus de mise en place pour la partie initiale. Les bases sont simples : faites atterrir votre atterrisseur SEED, faites atterrir votre cargaison et vos colons, commencez vos opérations minières et gardez un bon contrôle sur vos ressources. Veillez à ce que vos habitants soient satisfaits et développez vos activités pour inclure la fabrication, les installations médicales, l'éducation et la recherche.
Objectifs du projet
Objectifs principaux
☐ Développer une nouvelle base de code moderne qui peut être construite et exécutée sur plusieurs plateformes, dont Windows, macOS et Linux.
☐ Implémenter les mécanismes de base du jeu d'OUTPOST
☐ Fournir une meilleure interface à partir de laquelle l'utilisateur peut obtenir un meilleur retour d'information de sa colonie.
Objectifs secondaires
☐ Remplacer les graphismes d'origine par de nouveaux éléments non encombrants.
☐ Ajouter la possibilité d'établir de nouvelles colonies sur la même planète.
Objectifs tertiaires
☐ Implémenter un mode multijoueur où d'autres utilisateurs peuvent établir des colonies sur la même planète ou sur différentes planètes/moons dans le même système stellaire.
🌍️ Wikipedia: (Outpost)
Outpost est un jeu vidéo de gestion de type city-builder développé et publié par Sierra On-Line en 1994. Le jeu se déroule dans un univers de science-fiction dans lequel la terre est détruite par un astéroïde nommé le marteau de Vulcain. L’humanité est forcée à coloniser d’autres régions de la galaxie pour survivre.
Le système de jeu d’Outpost est généralement comparé à celui de SimCity
Le thème musical d'ouverture du jeu est tiré de Mars, celui qui apporte la guerre, le premier mouvement de la symphonie Les Planètes (The Planets) de Gustav Holst.
Une suite, intitulée Outpost 2: Divided Destiny et développée par Dynamix, a été publié en 1997.
