Draconian Empire is a total conversion mod for the game Homeworld 2, wich updates the graphics engine (shaders, effects, models,etc) and adds three new races with each their own new weapons, subsystems and sounds. It also features a brand new Singleplayer storyline telling the tale of humanity in their early days of space-travel, their encounter with the draconians and finally the birth of the Hiigaran people. A sequel to the Homeworld story, this mod's exciting new single-player campaign follows humanity from its early days of space-travel, where they eventually come in contact with the Draconians all the way to the finding of the second Hyperspace Core by the pre-Hiigaran people.

Post news Report RSS Draconian Mod Beta 0.1 release scheduled

We are currently working on the first three missions of the singleplayer campaign, doing mission scripting, level design and voiceacting. The textures on the currently finished models will also soon be finished. After all this is done and working we'll release a Beta 0.1 for the public!

Posted by on

The first three missions will show the opening for the singleplayer campaign and tell a tiny bit of the story. Ofcourse, as this is a very first Beta release, some things are yet subject to change, and most new features will have not yet been implemented.
This first Beta is to give you a taste af the new graphics and style.

And when its released, feedback is ofcourse MUCH appreciated!

Keep y'all posted,

Jeroen & Lodewijk from Evil Turtle Productions.

*smiles too* heheh, well that all depends on the obstacles along the way i guess.

I'm currently having lots of trouble getting the intro cinematic to work right. Somehow after a cinematic the mission just freezes and says the campaign has ended, but when i remove the cinematic the mission works normally o.o

anyways, i think it could just be a month from now, so... April 1th? XD

Yeah i know .. but it's funny that a text like this is there in a dll ^^
And i can't understand why they don't give the source code from old games to modders with the agreement from the modders they don't published to everyone...in my opinion, modders give some fans reasons to buy older games, so getting both sides what they "want"
