Los Angeles, CA (October 31, 2003) - Vivendi Universal Games (VU
Games) announced today that the modification tools for Homeworld 2 have been
released to the public and are now available to users at
www.relic.com/rdn.
From VU Games:
Amateur and professional game designers alike can use these powerful
modification tools to create their own ships, levels, single-player campaigns,
and multiplayer game modes. These are the same tools used by the game's
developer, Relic Entertainment, to create the content for Homeworld 2. Detailed
documentation has been included with the tools to ensure ease of use, regardless
of experience or skill level. A copy of Homeworld 2 is required to use any
content created with the modification tools.
"We want to make user modification of Homeworld 2 as easy as possible," said
Geoff Thomas, Assistant Producer of Homeworld 2. "The quality of work produced
by Relic fans in the modding community has blown us away, and we want to do as
much as we can to facilitate their efforts with Homeworld 2. We're really
looking forward to seeing what fans can do with these tools."
Homeworld 2, the sequel to one of 1999's highly acclaimed RTS games, returns
players to the helm of the most powerful space armada in the universe as they
battle to keep their home. The highly-anticipated follow up title includes
multiplayer competition for up to five other players, in addition to an
engrossing single player saga, and features startling space effects like dust
gas clouds, wispy nebulae, and ghostly derelict hulks of space ships rendered
with spectacular Hollywood-style special effects.
Homeworld 2 is currently available in stores for a suggested retail price of
$49.99 with an ESRB "Teen" rating. For more information, log on to
