Topic: interview with the devs

Hello, everyone.

My name is Sergio Andrés Rondán, and I am the editor and editor-in-chief of the print magazine “Revista Replay,” a bimonthly publication from Argentina that has been in circulation for 10 years. Our magazine focuses on video games from the 8- and 16-bit era, and we seek to recover stories from that time by conducting interviews and researching games from that period.

I’m working on an article about the Settlers saga. I’m in contact with Volker Wertich, the programmer and creator of the series. However, I’d also be very interested in getting some testimony from the developers of Widelands. I love the Settlers saga, and I also love Widelands, a game to which I’ve dedicated many hours of play.

It would be very important for the article I’m preparing to be able to include some input from the core development team. If any of you are here, you can reply to this post or write me an email at soldan at undernet dot uy.

Thank you very much!

Hi soldan,
welcome to our forums.
We from the dev team are glad you love our game.
So I am happy to provide you with the interview.

Please write me a PM to fix a date and most important a time for it as I assume we have some offset to cover.
For the interview itself I like to use a jitsi meet session, I will provide you a link after the date has been fixed.

In any case I need to make an important point in the beginning: In the end we do reserve the right to review and authorize the Interview in the context of the article.
This is necessary to keep it crystal clear that we are not a Settlers clone, and we do explicitly not belong to the settlers saga.

to prepare for the interview it might be helpful to send me your main questions in advance, as we both will do it in a language that is not our mothertongue and some preparation might help to avoid translation problems.

Happy to meet you.
Best regards
hessenfarmer
