Homeworld has long had a reputation among real-time strategy enthusiasts as one of the most challenging, immersive, and epic games of its genre. Now at last the stunning development art that made the game an influential piece of sci-fi design history is available for the world to see. Curated by original creators Rob Cunningham and Aaron Kambeitz, The Art of Homeworld is filled with elaborate drawings of ships, level concepts, and scenes from the animatics, many of which have been scanned for the first time from the artists' personal archives. Also included are stories and information about the game gathered from exclusive interviews with Rob and Aaron. The Art of Homeworld is a worthy addition to the collection of any fan of the game or of sci-fi art in general.

Beautiful, but missing a few things.

The ghost ship and third pirate race (T'mat) aren't mentioned or shown, and cut content isn't included. Still an amazing gem of an art book and a must have for any Homeworld collectors out there. The quality of the print is outstanding and the Q&A touches a lot of good subjects, I would have liked to see more discussion on the galaxy-sized derelicts floating off in the background of 2, since that's some of the most compelling sci fi art I've ever seen.

Excellent book worth the price for HW series fans

Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2015

Tons of great pictures and drawings in here, but what really impressed me the most was the commentary from the game's developers. There's a lot of text in here, and that's a good thing! There are a lot of behind-the-scenes stories of what informed many of the artistic and design decisions made in Homeworld to make it a timeless visual masterpiece despite the hardware limitations of the era (25KB of textures per ship! How did they do it?)

It's a great bok. I just love it. If you are looking for some nice art or maybe a little about the game and people back there it's a great product. Really nice art work and book construction. This game reserves this well made piece of sci-fi history.

A truly beautiful book

Just received my order from Amazon today... Worth every penny, this book is incredible! Fantastic attention to detail, and the print quality is superb.
As a massive fan of the games and the universe the developers created for them, I can't recommend this book enough. As a massive fan of Sci-fi and the ships of Chris Foss, and the Terran Trade Federation series, I also can't recommend this highly enough.
Seriously, if this is up your street, get it before it sells out!
