You guys are going to _freak out_ when you see what HW:Remastered does for you in terms of tools & new features. I mean, your team already pushes the _old_ engine - the new engine is many, many times more advanced, with far more to offer. Honestly, I'm looking forward to the post-launch support for Mods like yours as much as just the main launch of the base Remastered!

I don't want to dismiss their involvement in the least. Nor do I want to go into too much detail - as that's a story to be told by others (Brian, etc). That said, I think their ongoing input on various things, certainly some of their direct involvement on some art/assets - these are all very good things. But 'know how' - it needs to be said (and likely will be in detail eventually) that the initial project was bootstrapped with tools that were mostly (entirely?) public - stuff the community had authored, often. Now, with the new graphics engine, etc - I've created tools that we'll make available. The vast majority of the credit regarding 'know how' MUST be given to the community and mod teams - who we both learned greatly from, and in some cases have worked directly with. I think without the community around this franchise, the remastered version would have been nowhere near what it is now (and will be when we release it).

Howdy guys - I want to correct the statement from 'Pcmaster' that Gearbox turned development of Homeworld Remastered over to Blackbird. That's... not really accurate. There's an in-house team doing HW:RM - Blackbird's doing HW:Shipbreakers - and many of the founders of Relic, original developers of HW are actively part of our process. Their feedback/input is extremely important. But Blackbird isn't _making_ HW:RM. Gearbox is.
