![]() Unfortunately, there are no details about these features yet. The developers seem happy about this, as they have a bunch of new features (which we assume lie in that same vein) currently in the works. These include items such as salvaging and cloaking. The most important gameplay features to the backers were ones that encouraged strategic and thoughtful playstyles. As such, the developers asked fans what exactly about the gameplay excites them and drives their desire to keep playing. The gameplay in the Homeworld series is unlike any other with its non-traditional 3D RTS combat. The narrative will use the three most important themes for backers – exploration, redemption, and exodus – to bring the next chapter to life. So, they’re determined to re-create that same unique connection in Homeworld 3 by focusing on the single-player experience (another thing the backers placed a high priority on). The developer’s takeout from this is that emotional connection is incredibly important to players. The Hiigarans, Bentusi, and Progenitors came far head of the pirates and even the Taiidan. The most important factions for the backers were the good guys. With this love for ships in mind, the development team has been creating a fleet of new ship designs that they hope will build a strong sense of character and identity. ![]() More of a surprise to the development team was how important ships were to the backers. In terms of importance in the narrative, the Mothership came a close second to Karan. It’s safe to say everyone who plays the game wants to find out what’s next in her story. In terms of characters and the game’s narrative, Karan S’Jet was unsurprisingly the most important. As such, a lot of the Homeworld 3 developer update revolves around reporting back on those things. They could request features, set priorities, and even decide what the collector’s edition would include. As part of the Fig crowdfunding, backers could share their opinions and expectations for the game with the team. The Homeworld 3 team is determined to incorporate fans into the development process. After 8,414 backers donated $1,505,840, the Homeworld 3 development team has returned with an update on the game’s progress. In that announcement, publisher Gearbox Software and developer Blackbird Interactive also revealed that the game would crowdsource its funding over on Fig. “We’re partnering with Fig to give back to longtime fans who have sustained Homeworld for years by giving them a chance to invest in Homeworld 3’s success and help us understand the game they’ve been dreaming about.Homeworld 3 was announced a few months ago via a trailer that takes the franchise back to the stars. “We want it to be clear that the game is on a solid foundation, funding-wise,” Gearbox explains on the campaign’s Fig page. At the same time, through Fig's unique investment model, Gearbox says the community is given the opportunity to potentially see returns on their investments once the game launches as well. Gearbox notes that the game is only a few months into pre-production, allowing it to solicit thoughts and suggestions from backers on “its features, priorities, and even what the collector’s edition will include” and, later on, report back on how backer data influenced the game’s development. It has, naturally, already surpassed that goal after just a few days on the platform.Īt the time of writing, the Homeworld 3 campaign has raised over $500,000, about half of which is made up of investment-styled Fig Funds as opposed to traditional crowdfunding pledges. ![]() ![]() To make true on that promise, the Homeworld 3 campaign launched with only a $1 funding goal. It’s always of note when established developers or publishers turn to crowdfunding platforms to help make a game a reality, but Gearbox has made it clear the game’s future isn’t contingent on the crowdfunding campaign taking off. ![]()
