Our third year of sponsoring this amazing scholarship. Our first year candidate is a full time employee at InsideBBI who has contributed to Homeworld and one other un-announced title. Our second year candidate is about to start at the studio. Come work with us!

So proud of the Hardspace: Shipbreaker team. Going on six years of active development here in a couple of weeks. This game was so many firsts for so many of us here at Blackbird - but the biggest first by far will be getting our own game of our own creative intention into the wild.

Today we announced a delay to Homeworld but we also showed an incredible new feature. The ballistics system of HW combined with a new 3d terrain system means vertical and space gameplay is imagined in a whole new way. Lance Mueller breaks it down fig.co/campaigns/home…

I have been a Minecraft fan since it came out. I’ve built cathedrals to scale and rail networks the size of continents. What an absolute honor it’s been to have Blackbird develop this game with Mojang.

We've had folks playing this mission the last week or so and it is a true joy to see their faces after. Can't wait to share more of this with the world!

There was a time on Shipbreaker where a good explosion, and the cascading destruction simulation afterwards, could make the lights dim even on a good PC. Very proud of the team to get this running on consoles - can't wait to play from my couch!

One of my favorite voices in games journalism - artistically but also quite literally - Charlie Hall took Homeworld 3 for a spin and we chatted after about inspirations, simulations and fish!

A brand spanking new trailer showing gameplay for Minecraft Legends. We’re really pushing the boundaries for what a strategy game can be - can’t wait until this is in the hands of players to see what they think!

Had the joy of contributing to a new podcast where authors write stories about their favorite D&D creatures and its performed by the hosts... The writers are a great rogues gallery of comic book, board game and video game creatives - don't miss! rss.com/podcasts/themo…

Wow - tremendous. Congrats to the workers at @AnemoneHug and high five to management for supporting them. Thanks for your partnership over the years, we couldn't have done Shipbreaker without you!

Happy birthday, Homeworld! If you were a person you'd be a year into your career after getting a bachelor's at university.
