The time-limited $1,000 tier is no longer going to be available. It is now $60.ĭeserts of Kharak and the Homeworld Remastered Collection are not offered in the new tiers.
The limited-time discount for Homeworld 3 during the initial campaign has been removed from the base tier. This does not affect any tiers for those already on the project. We still have more things to share in the near future that we’d hate for other fans to miss out on.Īs mentioned in the previous update, the limited-time tiers are going away, and new backer tiers are being introduced.
Homeworld 3 backer series#
Homeworld 3 is still in pre-production, and there are some fans of the series that want to hold off until we’re a bit further along in development to jump in or invest. While the main campaign is wrapped, we're making some adjustments so new fans can still pledge and invest. Sin (RPS in peace) celebrated the small details, and Alex Wiltshire talked with the devs about the design behind the cutting too.Also, they are continuing the campaign with new tiers: Additionally, investments and pledges will provide a chance to tell the developers what they expect of Homeworld 3 via a backer-only survey. The campaign will allow longtime Homeworld fans to become investors in Fig and participate in the game’s future success. Homeworld 3 devs Blackbird Interactive have also been working on Hardspace: Shipbreaker, a first-person job sim about cutting up spaceships for scrap. The project is in its early stages with only a few months into pre-production. In the meantime, the devs have been posting art and bits and pieces in updates on Fig. See our E3 2021 schedule for more on all of the everything. I’d very much like to see something of Homeworld 3 at Gearbox’s E3 Showcase stream on Saturday. I’m fine with crowdfunding and fine with investing but both side-by-side just feels off.

Especially when Homeworld 3’s goal was a $1 token sum to see how much they can raise, not to determine whether the game got made or not. Feels weird and crass to say ‘Hey fans, come give us money to potentially make a game and we’ll give you a t-shirt’ and ‘Hey investors, come give us money to potentially make a game and we might give you money’ on the same page. Bailey said Fig were in talks with Gearbox to get that rolling but these “trailed off after the acquisition announcement.”įig has never sat right with me as a crowdfunding platform. Gearbox were recently bought in April by Embracer Group, the giant web of studios and publishers which includes Deep Silver, THQ Nordic, and dozens more.įig CEO Justin Bailey told that the Homeworld 3 campaign hadn’t yet reached the point where they’d reach out to folks who registered to invest and actually seal the deal. The e-mail is also clear that the game and backer rewards are still coming to people who paid for ’em, they’re just scrapping the whole investment thing. No one actually paid to invest, it was all still pending. The message notes that “there have been recent changes at Gearbox” and because of that, Fig has cancelled investment reservations. One would-be investor shared the e-mail they received from Fig on Reddit. While development continues, the investment aspect has been binned, presumably as a consequence of Homeworld owners Gearbox being bought by the ever-growing Embracer Group. When Homeworld 3 launched a token crowdfunding campaign in 2019, it was through a site which not only lets people throw in cash, it lets some actually invest in the game and get paid if it does well.
