The biggest mod of homeworld 2 is getting a new engine. This means that the owner will be able to release his own game, called Complex. Thus it would no longer be a mod. Now I'm very glad to announce that I'm going to join the development team, and will work in doing simple changes to the game (like aot fp work), and help build up the game mechanics and concepts, and even the structure of the third race that is being added. Currently I'm working on the balance team until things get rolling. Here's a pic for you taken in the new experimental engine. (IMG:http://s1.directupload.net/images/120630/5nkssk8w.jpg) I know most of you probably haven't played the homeworld series. But you should definitely give them a chance. They are fully 3d space rts games, meaning that you have a third axis of movement. All games in the series are based on one resource type, which you use in your production capable capital ships to produce more ships, or you can spend them on research (except in hw1 where research only costs time and the research ships). The game's story mode is about the struggle of an exiled race - the Hiigarans, and how they get back to their home planet once they achieve the required technological level on the desert planet they settled on. Upon leaving the planet for the first hyperspace test, the planet was incinerated by the very same empire that exiled them - the Taiidans. This is how they started their journey with the remaining colonists. No more spoilers though for those who wish to play. The games are relatively old, homeworld 2 is a 2003 game just like aot. And that is where complex started and currently is. Here's a trailer : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRUJva8vfoc If you have any experience with the games, or if you want to gather this experience after seeing this post, please feel free to sign up here : http://complex.mastertopforum.com/index.php If you are good and ambitious enough, you may apply for being a member of the team - since this might turn into a real new rts game, real rts players will be needed at least for testing. The project may stuck at a non-commercialized level, being the best mod out there. But there is always hope for more. I'd have a lot more to say, but don't want tl,dr-s :teehee: |

Correction to the above. The new engine will be the base for an entirely new game. The tech guys are still working on the engine. To put it short : we are creating a whole new space rts. Almost from scratch. This is your chance to join up for this highly ambitious project. |

I have always loved the Homeworld series; far more so than 4x games like sins. When you reach alpha/beta testing will you throw a plug here for it? |

I heard homeworld 1 and 2 was getting a HD remake. Seems remakes are all that RTS game lovers get these days. |

Yeah they are. The project I was talking about in this thread is dead - however i assembled a new team for creating a new mod for Homeworld. Our progress is rather good so far. http://www.moddb.com/mods/homeworld-2-complex-enhanced QUOTE I have always loved the Homeworld series; far more so than 4x games like sins. When you reach alpha/beta testing will you throw a plug here for it? We need balance testers for above. This post has been edited by PureDM_Nakamura: Jul 22 2013, 12:51 PM |
