As a result, Gearbox had to cancel the investment portion of the Fig campaign in June 2021, prior to obtaining money from those that had pledged to invest. Gearbox was acquired by Embracer Group in February 2021. Some key personnel from the original development studio Relic (now working for Blackbird Interactive) are among the teams developing the game, namely design director Rob Cunningham and score creator Paul Ruskay Along with this campaign the team allows contributors to take part in exclusive surveys, in order to determine which elements of the original trilogy were most appreciated and hence guide future development. ĭevelopers launched a successful mixed crowdfunding/investment campaign on Fig in late 2019, which went on to generate the highest donation average in the platform's history. The Remastered Collection's positive critical reviews and reception by the former active community (which had remained somewhat active with the use of extensively modded versions of initial games) as well as the Deserts of Kharak's respectable performance were enough to convince publisher Gearbox and the affiliated development studio Blackbird Interactive to follow up with the creation of a new game, in direct continuity with the original saga. The announcement of Homeworld 3 follows the release of the Homeworld Remastered Collection, as well as the prequel Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak. The franchise was dormant until 2013 when its rights were bought from THQ by Gearbox Software. Following THQ's purchase of intellectual property rights to the franchise, further developments were halted after the release of Homeworld 2 in 2003.

The initial launch of the Homeworld series dates back to 1999. As was already the case with the first game of the franchise, combat gameplay would be built around an effective 3D ballistics system. According to information from the developer team, following the responses to partner surveys, the game boasts an extensive campaign mode, giving solo gameplay an important role. Interesting places for battles could be saturn, the reef, earth, the moon etc.Homeworld 3 will be made to resemble its two predecessors, and will therefore be a 3D RTS in a cosmic environment. Ketch flag ship (similar design to what the queen used against oryx). Recourse extractor as the recourse extractor (obviously) Taking the ships from Destiny the game and putting them in homeworld.

The mod more than quadrupled in size in the last three years, so it will be impossible to show everything that has changed here, but I have prepared some. We have also redone the ship debris so that they persist for 200 seconds after a ship is destroyed, they "burn" up in an interesting reverse of the build visualisation and then despawn. Taking a leaf from the Star Trek: Armada flavour of play here are some screenshots of ships being visibly constructed for your pleasure We have also taken the ultimate in impossible-to-do-in-homeworld things and made them done.
It's subtle but the galaxy in the background is actually positioned to show as it would in the hypothetical locations of these maps! You can probably also see from the screenshot of Bajor above that the maps have received an amazing graphical overhaul, here's Alpha Centauri as well to demonstrate the improvement. One excellent thing to try is the new debugging tools (if you enable them in the game setup) and camera controls, you enable them with "Y" in game and you can see them on the left hand side of the screen. There's been so much added to the deathmatch options that I am not even sure what's new anymore! Not to mention the updates to the Invasion game mode originally from Homeworld and the Flight Mode technical demonstration, not to forget the ship gallery game mode! Pretty much every single script in the mod has been rewritten and optimised, you can now reasonably expect a multiplayer game to work (even with all the new features).
