Source Code to Homeworld Released

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the all-yours-now dept.

ceejayoz writes "The source code for Relic Entertainment's 1999 Game of the Year, Homeworld, has just been released. Details are available at Homeworld Universe. Not GPL'ed, but pretty nifty all the same." Note that any sort of property aside from the source such as graphics or codecs have been stripped out, but it's still cool to look through the game engine.

    I'm personally hoping for a properly done Star Wars RTS. The Star Wars: New Rebellion mod for Homeworld was a nice start, but it suffered from not having access to a lot of stuff in the HW engine... it'll be interesting to see what they can do with it now!

    RDN Access Level 1 is automatically given to everyone who registers - it's the default level. People with Level 1 access have full access to the source code.

    I've had a few problems browsing the site with Moz Firebird, worked better in IE... perhaps try that?
