Also, I wasn't meaning my comment as discouragement, a lot of people aren't aware that Bungie doesn't own the rights, and I didn't know if you were aware or not, so my comment was just to let you know why Bungie might not respond.

Oh no hard feelings. I might have come across as a bit snappy there, and I it wasn't my intention. I appreciate the help.

I am friends with a number of Bungie employees who are still around from the Myth days. I know for a fact that Bungie approached Take2 when they spun out from MS back in '07, and Take2 whipped out an absurd figure and put it on the table, which shows you how out of touch Take2 is. If they made a deal with Bungie they could distribute new copies and updates for some revenue, but instead Take2 has just thrown the Myth series in the corner where it's sat the last 10 years.

As far as another company goes, the problem isn't finding someone who wants to, it's always been getting Take2 to actually communicate. There have been several attempts, but it always dies since no one can seem to get in touch with anyone at Take2 who knows what the hell they are doing.

It's both sad and upsetting.

This information was very valuable to me, and I thank you a lot for it. Miscommunication is a real plague in the gaming business and to think that Take2 can't handle things better is sad (but not that much of a shock).

Still it is obvious that Bungie cares a lot for Myth. In every Halo game I can think of there is some nod or reference to the series.

It will be interesting to see if there will be some kind of response from my project, though. Maybe most fans prefer to see Myth remain a RTS and I would love to see more of them, but I think that my idea has some potential.

Would anyone here be interested in testing the game when I've had a chance to work on it?

Cheers!

Hi there Capital!

a RTS into a full fledged classbased FPS (First-Person-Slasher). I have been petitioning Bungie to make this themselves, but since I've gotten no answer I decided to have a go at it myself.

Design wise it's a breeze as Bungie has been kind enough to give us each unit's statistics in the Fear & Loathing kit.

Program wise is a bit of a problem though, but I don't think it will be impossible.

I could tell you more about it if you guys are interested.

I am all eyes ears and ready to see hear more about this new game you are developing. Perhaps wet everyone's eyes and ears with some screen shots or video of it in action.
