THQ, the company\u00a0supposedly\u00a0holding the IP rights at the moment, is going through a bankruptcy process. And so, teamPixel came forward and is now requesting the help of fans to try and acquire the sci-fi RTS franchise during the next insolvency auction.<\/p>\n<p>With the HW IP on their hands, teamPixel proposes to put the original HW series on GOG and Steam; develop a HW version for\u00a0mobile devices with touch controls and, no more no less than to develop and deliver HW3.<\/p>\n<p>They think $50.000 would be enough for them to acquire the IP; 100k would get all the Homeworld series titles on GOG and Steam for free; 250K for the original Homeworld on mobile devices with touch technology; 500K would get all the series titles on mobile devices; and 750K would be enough to develop Homeworld3.<\/p>\n<p>As a big fan of the Homeworld series I have to admit that the prospect of seeing the old titles available on digital stores again, and a new installment coming to life in the near future are very seducing thoughts indeed. But, gosh, how feasible is this really? The indie devs are offering a refund guarantee. But how exactly would that work I don&#8217;t know. What guarantee do we really have?<\/p>\n<p>And, what about Relic, the former developers? They are part of Sega now. Maybe they would be the best candidates for the task? If that&#8217;s on their hands to decide, or in their plans of course. I guess we&#8217;ll just have to wait and see what comes out of this.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BcsXkj88-KQ\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indie game development company teamPixel is on IndieGoGo looking for funds to go after the Homeworld franchise IP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1668,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"registered_only","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[943],"tags":[685,876,1202],"class_list":["post-8511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-kickstart","tag-homeworld","tag-indiegogo","tag-teampixel"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1668"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8511"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8511\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
