The pirate carrier was very large in production, but at the back of my head it didn’t look right. We went so far that it was the basis for our capital destruction system.”
Homeworld 3 concept art full#
The idea sounded solid, so we built it in traditional linear development from early sketches, full concept, and even construction an asset – one to use in “Homeworld 3”. The concept team decided to use the Civilian Tanker from Homeworld 2 as a base with the backstory of pirates stealing civil ships and retrofitting them to their own use. We first thought that it was to start with some more expensive concepts from Homeworld 2. I heard that the Kalan Raiders were forming their own ideas in 2020, then just called them the Pirates and that was about very early in the story and I focused much of the time on their visual backstory. Next up, a new video showing everything off. We have a snippet of a blog from Gryc below, and you can read the whole thing here. This is basically a reboot that was heavily inspired by the community’s feedback. Art Director Karl Gryc announced that a Hiigaran Carrier, designed to become a Capital Class Vessel, incorporated into the mothership with numerous features and protocols. The only additional value in your case will be the five Homeworld 3 prints and the Collector's Edition of the game.The players will be getting something pretty impressive. Q5: 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. Q4: 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. Q3: 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. Q2: 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. Q1: 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 bundle will automagically be upgraded to include The Art of Homeworld. NOTE: If you're already pledging at the $1,000 tier (holy crap, thank you), we’ve got you covered.In the “Edit Reward Bundle” carousel on the next page simply click the new bundle.

To help, we’re bringing back that exact same art book in a marked 2nd edition (that’s for you, current owners), bundled with five 5x7 prints of Homeworld 3 art, and the Collector’s Edition of Homeworld 3. These books now go for near $1,000 on eBay. The only problem is that we deeply underestimated demand and sold out pretty much immediately. Years ago when working on Homeworld Remastered Collection, the Gearbox crew worked directly with Blackbird’s Rob Cunningham and Aaron Kambeitz to lovingly craft a dedicated, 236-page art book for Homeworld, called The Art of Homeworld. Today, we wanted to find a new way to celebrate with a new limited bundle for the Fig campaign. We can’t wait to build this game alongside you over the coming years. It’s been absolutely surreal to see the outpouring of love for Homeworld these past few weeks. "Thanks so much to everyone who’s decided to come aboard so far for the development Homeworld 3.
