Age of Mythology Interview - interview
(hx) 12:42 PM CET - Nov,22 2001 - Post a comment

GameSpot.au has posted an interview with Bruce Shelley of Ensemble Studios, a man partly responsible for Age of Empires and Railroad Tycoon, among other things. Bruce elaborated on his hot new project Age of Mythology, the cultural context of the game, stories of hanging out with Sid Meier and amazing tales of his development work during the Golden Age of PC gaming. They caught up with him at the recent AGDC conference in Melbourne. Here is an excerpt:
GS: It says here that you've been in the games industry designing and developing since 1980? Does that mean you have literally twenty years experience?
BS: Pretty much, yes. There was a short period of time where I moved to Chicago, my wife had a great job offer, and I left the game industry per se. But I ended up writing books about games during a couple year period where I was a freelance writer, I wrote like strategy guides, how to play a game really well. So I never really left the game industry. And in the middle of that period, Tony Goodman who is the studio head at Ensemble Studios was an old friend of mine, from twenty years previous. He started called me up and asking about the games industry. He was thinking about starting a game development software company. So I got back with him, he asked me to join his new company, so we started the new company in 1995 which became Ensemble Studios. [more]
