#Homeworld remastered collection kickass update#

That's helped by Gearbox' outstanding update work. The steep learning curve is entirely worth the effort, though, for the fantasy of commanding such an extraordinary collection of sleek, glowing vehicles, and for the spectacle when they boost into battle. Campaign missions can become very difficult if you fail to preserve forces between missions and the technicalities of combat-like micromanaging units to attack the softer top armour of frigates-becomes arduous in Homeworld's biggest scraps. The only additional value in your case will be the five Homeworld 3 prints and the Collector’s Edition of the game.It's overwhelming, and deliberately so. Q: I have the original book, should I buy into this?Ī: Up to you, but the book is identical outside the 2nd edition marking. That’s why we’re clearly marking this run as a 2nd edition. Philosophically, we want this beautiful book to be more widely available while still respecting the value of a copy from the original printing. Q: I’m an owner of the original book, aren’t you just wrecking my collector’s value?Ī: That’s not our intent. The plan is to put together a selection of 10-20 Homeworld 3 art pieces and let backers vote on the final five in a survey. Q: What will the five Homeworld 3 art prints be?Ī: We don’t know yet, and that’s because we want to include you in the process. Q: I’m at $1000 do I miss out on The Art of Homeworld?Ī: Your bundle will be automagically updated to include the book.

Second, this is actually a good way for us to gauge future interest in this kind of book for future publishing efforts around Homeworld 3. Q: Why not make an Art of Homeworld 3 instead?Ī: A couple reasons: First, a reborn version of The Art of Homeworld is something we can actually deliver in 2020 rather than waiting for 2022. Your feedback reinforced our beliefs and helped us feel confident that ballistics are the best approach moving forward with combat systems in Homeworld 3.įAQ (to be included with backer update AND added to the actual FAQ): While a lot of decisions on how we will implement ballistics from a technical standpoint are yet to be made, we wanted to share our decision with you and to thank all of you. 3D movement and combat will be even more important as players seek out the best attack angle to engage a specific formation or negate a defensive formation or positioning. Map objects will also have greater meaning players will be able to use asteroids, megaliths and ship debris as cover. Utilizing heavily armoured capital ships to protect the flanks of more vulnerable frigates for example. Units will be able to block incoming fire for other ships, either sacrificing themselves to save a more valuable unit, or to utilize their heavier armour or higher health pool to protect weaker more vulnerable ships.ĭefensive formations have the potential to be inherently more meaningful, especially formations comprised of multiple classes of ships. Ships will fire at hostile vessels and even if another ship blocks line of sight of the target the weapon will keep firing. This will benefit the game in a number of significant ways. Our plan is for all ships to utilize projectile based ballistics that are fully simulated. Within the community there is a strong and unified voice that the ballistics systems of Homeworld 1 is better, and we agree! It is our goal to have ballistics be the primary method of ship to ship combat in Homeworld 3. We’re so grateful and would love to hear about the first time that you played Homeworld in the comments. We’ve been watching and responding to a lot of you on social media, in the Discord server, and here on Fig, and it’s been so valuable to see what Homeworld has meant to you. After that, we'll talk about how your feedback is influencing the game in another update. Real game-play decisions will be made because of your responses! We'll leave the survey open for two weeks after the campaign closes. We’re still in pre-production and we still have a lot of work to do, but it’s so great getting to see this community as excited as we are! This is the stage where we can do the most with your feedback. Rob Cunningham, CEO of BBI has this to share with you: Thank you to everyone that has joined us on this journey! With your help, we have rocketed past $685,000 in just 10 days! We’re so grateful to have the opportunity to make this game with you.

Week 1 Recap – We’re 68,500,000% over our goal!
