Welcome to the Colony
A downloadable game for Windows
This is my tribute, and fanart / playable teaser showing how I imagine the remake / remaster of the classic Gothic game made by Piranha Bytes. Made for fun within a three weeks.
Special thanks to TunaFunDev for helping out with the AI.

There is no combat system, dialogs and other rpg elements. You can just explore, collect ore nuggets, and find some easter eggs, in the very beginning of the mining valley, from the reloading zone, to the narrow passage that leads to the valley, next to the tree with a hangman.

Have fun.

Did fans even work on the reboot, like they say, or are they lying to us. I downloaded the playable teaser from steam and I hate it. I am not going to watch hours of un-skippable dialogue and quick time events before I even get to the actual gameplay. That is just bad taste.
This teaser demo will scratch the itch that the official reboot will never be able to. You need a team to work on this NOW. The world looks beautiful and you seem competent enough to fully realized it. That is where you as an author shine the most. I do not like the character design and animation though. It's nowhere near the original look of the character and the ragdoll physics are unrealistic and too modern.
Despite my reservations I think you are doing a wonderful job and I wish you only the best.
Played through the demo of the remake, and like you I wasn't a big fan. Obviously the original Gothic developers, Piranha Bytes, aren't involved (they're making Elex and others) so it'll probably be about as good as Gothic 3.
Why is no one talking about this?
I remember Playing Gothic Growing up, wasn't able to beat it because I got caught up exploring but this brings back memories.
I've found you two potential scavenger models in case you wish to replace current ones with something more appropriate:

Great project Sir.
By the way, has anyone found all 14 ore nuggets?
Hi, what are the recommended system requirements to play this? I can't find them anywhere. Thanks in advance.
Hi. I don't know, I was trying to make this game as optimal as possible. I think GTX 780 (or AMD equivalent), i5 and 8gb ram should be enough to play it in full hd with 60fps.
Thanks for replying, I'll check it out then.
Hallo,
I have to you an Question, It is difficult to develop such a great Projekt or Game to develop, because I wanted to game develop but I don't understand how it work or sumthing. I hope you understanding me because my englisch is not the Best
Hi. It's not easy to start, but there are tons of tutorials and sample projects in the internet. I've been working in Unreal Engine 4 for over five years, and I'm constantly learning something new.
Incredible work!
You made me feel home. It's a pity that you won't work further on this project.
How did you get it so close to the original game? What's your work flow? Have you uploaded the original level mesh to UE4 for references or are you just working with pictures?
Thanks! I found at worldofgothic.de 3d model of the mining valley terrain, then I imported it to Unreal Engine 4, and it served as a foundation for the scene. Additionally, Gothic was fired up in the background, and I often alt-tabbed and watched the place in game I was currently doing in Unreal.
Good approach. You nailed it with your work!
Could we have a little chat? Facebook/WhatsApp/Telegram or just via email? 🙂
Sure! I don't have accounts on these sites/apps, so via email:

Hey, do you mind telling where exactly you found the mesh on worldofgothic.de? I tried finding it but couldn't locate it and I don't want to create a Thread just asking for that.

Awesome work! Russian review:
Another Let's Play from a German Let's Player:
Hello, Looks awesome! Question, is it planned to work further on it and maybe finish it completely some time in the future if people really like it? Because I am a huuuuge Gothic fan as it is the game of my childhood and I know it from the inside out, and currently am looking for a longterm project I could work on or inject myself into on my free time and possibly would be interested in helping you create this world.
PS: I would be interested in working on the programming part aka combat, logic etc
Thanks. No plans for work further on it, it's just a short fangame/fanart.
May I ask in what this is made? I suppose Unity or Unreal Engine?
Unreal Engine 4
Could you please share the source files with me? I would love to play with them in UE4... so I haven't used UE4 before. Only modified the original Gothic game. I would use them only for personal use.
What assets packs do you use?
Sincere congratulations, you did a wonderful job!
Ps: There are some teams that are working on a Gothic Remake, other than THQ obviously.
Thank you
Hi can I ask you if you have found a team willing to create a modern version of Gothic?
Because like you I am also interested in joining a team with this purpose.
Thanks to and see you soon!
This looks awesome. Since I have literally zero expectations that the guys behind the abominable playable Teaser will manage to make a worthy game I sincerely hope that this is going to be finished someday.
A thousand times better than the other remake. Are you continuing on the project or is this finished? Btw I died 3 times and only found 6 Ores xD
Thanks! Yes, it's finished, it's just a short fangame/fanart.
It looks like a demo of a remaster of the first gothic, requiring some tweaking, but looking pretty good!
