The Making of Age of Mythology

Update: A remastered version called Age of Mythology Extended Edition will be released on Steam on May 8, 2014. It includes updated graphics, built-in Twitch.tv streaming, improved observer mode tools (to make commentary easier) and SteamWorks integration to make modding easier.
This is the video from the Making of Age of Mythology bonus DVD that came with the collector's edition. I didn't like the fact that this video is practically impossible to find on the internet so I ripped this from my original DVD. I don't own this video; it is property of Microsoft.
I like the fact that this video quickly touches on just about every aspect of the development of the game. I also like that you do get a sense of the amount of effort it took the team to give us this game.

@Nazpazaz 3 года назад

This is actually the exact way to NOT make a game. AoM killed Ensemble Studios due to the normalisation of crunch culture. When companies have their best talent working 15 hours a day for 67 weeks, they burn out. They develop severe mental issues, family issues, health issues etc. It's probably why there hasn't been a game like AoM since. Developers simply don't want their lives to be destroyed.

@keltarking 7 лет назад

Graphics aside, the original game still holds up very well to this day, and that soundtrack is almost to die for. If I had more than two thumbs they would *all* be up. Thank you, Ensemble, for such an epic game.

i am greek and i LOVE how they used the archaic language of our ansestors of witch we can even understand a number of words and help us re learn more of it and our old culture. i liked the game from less than 10 years old when i seen my big brother playing it and now that im 18 i still love it so much. the developers made this game so unique even for the other civilizations making me wanting to play as them and also now that im older i have a lust for history and thanks to this game some mythologycal knowledge. of all the strategy games one of the top 5 for me is certainly age of mythology.
