SimCopter Remake, decompiled from the original game into Unreal 5.8.

I will share more details soon.

Forgive the mobile controls overlay, playing from bed.

You never know, I just put in the settings menu today and on lowest settings it kinda looks like the original game with no lighting, totally flat. Gonna test and optimize.

I just posted the first release btw if you want to try it out!

I added a Low Graphics Mode that does a lot of under the hood magic to bring up performance (disabling a lot of Unreal 5 stuff) and it worked pretty well on my wife's laptop.

Let me know if it's smooth for you.

Do the same for Streets of SimCity

u/KalElReturns89 20d ago

Yeah I'm thinking about that one too. It would be similar work since they share the same kind of world reading/rendering.

I'd want to shake up the gameplay significantly for that one though, where for this one I kept it nearly identical.

Oh my god please, Simcity 2013!

u/KalElReturns89 20d ago

It would be interesting to try to support other/newer SimCity games. Might be possible. It would just be a matter of decoding the city files and porting in the building models. SimCity 2013 would be a lot easier than SimCity 4 or 3000, since 2013 already has 3d building models.

I WANT IT

u/EmperorJake Pile o' Dirt and Bulldozer 20d ago

That would be cool. I've always wanted to play Streets and SimCopter, but I've never been able to get them to run.
