GUYS; GUYS. Gearbox is making a Homeworld 3. Crowdfunding on Fig (not kickstarter) only a goal of $1 (and over $300,000 already). (Fig alsos invests not just crowdfunds). https://www.fig.co/campaigns/homeworld3 Just started so 30 days to pledge. No word on platform obviously. But I wouldn't be surprised if they went Epic (if Epic is still doing bullshit by 2022). But shit if it was funded before they even put a campaign (I'm assuming by the $1 goal it was) why bother backing?
New video after 2 years. Not a trailer. 28 second video of a railgun frigate. No idea why there is no sound. from one of the concept artists. "At the end of the day, this is an RTS game, so unit-functions need to be legible. To achieve this, we tap into the spirit of ship-as-weapon established in previous Homeworld games by slapping a giant f*ck-off gun onto the thing." and supposed release date near the end of 2022.
so the Fig backer campaign goal was $1 (basically it was already funded and a done deal being made) still made $1.5 million.
article from eurogamer https://www.eurogamer.net/the-scale...endous-its-a-space-rts-for-the-james-webb-era more to it then that (and interview stuff with creator of homeworld.) And pushed back to first half of 2023
Homeworld 3 gets a release date, 20 years after its predecessor releases march 8 2024. hey a game that simultaneously launches on steam and epic instead of a bullshit epic 1 year exlusive.
So they decided to delay the launch till May 13 due to the feedback they are getting during their public demo that is out now till February 12th.
