The goal of this mod is to bring back the units from the original Homeworld into the Homeworld 2 engine, with high quality texture and polycount detail. The campaign and animatics from the original game will also be included.

Well,The last days have been ... interesting:
On our MOD, we started to study how to develop the Kushan campaign. It was proposed to Moleman to join us once he is studying SP missions for his MOD. So we are all over finishing the Turanic Raiders ships and structures for M1 and M2, recovering speech files, tons and tons of codings and tweakings.
In parallel, we started moving on from SugarSync to SVN/Tortoise as a management system for the project. If we approve, which is most likely, SVN's version numbering system will be adopted. It will also help us sum up better the changes from one release to another.
We've suspended/changed the next release. We haven't stopped working on it. We need to study and establish the research trees, the research ships game-play and behavior. And the Youtube VIDEOS will be displayed at moddb too.
Moleman, welcome aboard, enjoy your stay and we hope to reach Hiigara sooner than we expect ; ]

Here's a sneak at what were doing, the old Hw1 ships in full Hw2 graphics, not just putting them ingame, but giving them enhanced textures and 3d details...
This is a skirmish map showcase of the first level. PLEASE NOTE: The current download link is NOT THE RIGHT FILE. ModDB refuses to "find" the replacement...
I really love the idea of this and hope to see a release soon (just wished HW2 worked on my computer.)
I was wondering if you will be remastering Cataclysm as well?
Cause ya'know that would be awesome.
Moleman restarted one of his MODs: Moddb.com that will deal with the HWC universe to some extent.
We have thought about it and left the decision for a later moment, after HWR would be closer to ready.
But at the moment the answer is "NO", because we want to spend our time improving the quality of HWR and maybe creating new stuff, in a extended mode, after release. We haven't decide anything yet.
As of this moment right now, I am not aware of any plans to.
I'm assuming by your description you mean you'll be recreating the campaign... Does that mean you'll be remastering all the NPC ships aswell? Such as the Bentusi, Junkyard Dog, Kadesh, the lot?
Just like Radar said, first the main 2 races, although theres a few npc done already, the Junkyard Dog - Media.moddb.com is one of them.
If it hasn't already been discussed, I'd like to propose and perhaps vocalize a collective opinion that, in all honesty, not many of us would mind simply seeing HW2 Bentus in the HWR campaign.. saves you guys a bit of time remastering a ship that didn't rightly look that great anyway :P HW1 Bentus that is.
It's a minor thing, but I don't think anyone would be too sad to see original Bentus go and new Bentus return, haha. idk about anyone else, but IMHO HW1 Bentus is kinda cool n retro while HW2 Bentus is frakking desktop Wallpaper material.
You realize that the 'HW1 Bentus' is not Bentus. Right? Think of Bentus as the Mothership and the Trade Stations are carriers.
Right- Relic threw me for a loop with the identical sounding voices. Still, would cut these fine gentlemen's workload and I personally wouldn't be heartbroken. I just want my HW1 campaign on 2's engine, and quick :D
Yes, we plan on including the campaign (work on it is progressing slowly though), so that means, yes, those ships will be done as well, although our priority at the moment is fleshing out the Kushan and Taiidan races first.
Which part exactly are you saying wouldn't work?
