OutpostHD is a reimplementation of OUTPOST published by Sierra On-Line in 1994. It is not a clone. It's a complete redesign of OUTPOST taking the core concepts and reimplementing them in a much more fun and more responsive game.

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.

Windows
Installation is simple: Extract the contents of the ZIP Archive into any folder. Double-click on OPHD.exe to launch the game. As this is not an installer package it is not distributed with any necessary dependencies. Please see the following sections for the requirements needed for your particular OS of choice.
macOS
Simply download the disk image from the release section, mount it and drag OutpostHD into your Applications folder. If you have an existing installation, overwrite it. macOS will warn you on launch that the application was downloaded from the Internet and can't be verified. You can go into System Preferences->Security & Privacy to override this behavior and allow OutpostHD to run.
Linux
Use git to checkout OutpostHD's repository and then run the make command. Depending on your flavor of Linux you may need to install SDL2, SDL2-Image, SDL2-Ttf, SDL2-Mixer and GLEW libraries. OutpostHD doesn't yet have any officially supported application distributions so building from source is how you'll have to use it.
Windows
OutpostHD is built in C++ using Microsoft's Visual Studio. If you haven't already, you may need to download and install the 64-bit Visual C++ Redistributable package from Microsoft.
At the moment there are very few configurable options for OutpostHD. All of it must be done via the XML configuration file (config.xml) located in your User directory.
The User directory will vary from platform to platform. On Windows, for example, you'll find it under "C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Roaming\LairWorks\OutpostHD". On macOS and Linux, this will generally be in your user Home directory.
OutpostHD is still under heavy development so there will be kinks to work out. If you're having trouble, head on over to The Outpost Universe Forums or the Outpost Universe Discord Server for help getting OutpostHD running. The developers will usually respond quickly to questions.
