“We’re incredibly early on in this project - only a few months into pre-production,” says the listing. I’m just saying, it’s probably a duck, you know?Īs for actual specifics about what Homeworld 3 is, we know that it’s a direct sequel to its predecessor that it’s a real-time 3D RTS that it will support some form of multiplayer, and that’s about it. Developer Blackbird Interactive is staffed by a number of veterans from Relic Entertainment, which created the original Homeworld and its sequel, and I don’t doubt that those individuals are invested in the franchise they helped originate. “We’re partnering with Fig to give back to longtime fans who have sustained Homeworld for 20 years by giving them a chance to invest in Homeworld 3‘s success and help us understand the game they’ve been dreaming about.”įar be it from me to doubt the sincerity of these sentiments, but it’s a little naive to think that the purpose of this crowdfunding campaign isn’t, first and foremost, to reduce the amount of Gearbox capital being spent on the production of Homeworld 3. “We want it to be clear that the game is on a solid foundation, funding-wise,” according to the campaign’s FAQ. This is, supposedly, why the campaign has a goal of but a single dollar, which has already been exceeded 80,000 times over. “With Homeworld‘s incredibly patient and thoughtful community, we’ve got exactly that opportunity.” “We’ve been craving the right opportunity to dive deep with a community in a way only crowdfunding offers,” says the campaign summary.
As a direct sequel to 2003’s cult classic RTS Homeworld 2, Homeworld 3 is in very, very early development, and publisher Gearbox would very much like you(!) to foot the bill become a part of the production. A crowdfunding campaign for Homeworld 3 is now live on Fig, the curated platform that allows people to actually invest in a video game’s production, rather than just donate to it.
