It was released in September 2000 and was developed by Barking Dog Studios, with some assistance from Relic Entertainment. The game was published by Sierra Entertainment. Cataclysm was originally an expansion pack for Homeworld, requiring the original game to run. However, Barking Dog made such large changes to the game engine and also made the game bigger (17 missions to Homeworld's 16), so impressing Sierra that they decided to change it to a stand-alone release. The game was critically acclaimed on release, with its improved interface (including being able to issue combat commands on the sensor manager screen) and the time-skip facility being particularly welcomed. While the canonicity of Cataclysm has been disputed by fans for years, Dan Irish – the Homeworld 2 Executive Producer – said that "the events of Cataclysm are not mentioned in Homeworld 2, but they are accepted as having occurred". However, the new IP owners, Gearbox Software, has stated that they do not consider Cataclysm to "exactly" be canon. Cataclysm's source code was lost when Barking Dog was acquired by Rockstar Games. Without the source code, it has not been possible for Gearbox to re-release the game as with the Homeworld Remastered project. Gearbox have indicated that if the code is found, they would consider the possibility. They have also noted that Blizzard Entertainment now own the Cataclysm video game trademark (for their World of WarCraft expansion of the same name), so the game would have to be renamed for a new release.
