GaarawarrGabs has been a very busy man this last week! On his holidays in the US he made plans to hit up Mythic and see what he could score, thankfully MYthic were welcoming with open arms!
Read GaarawarrGabs Blog on the HQ visit here. You'll have to scroll down a bit if you don't want to read about Cedar Point and images of rollercoasters that freak me out!
Before I go into a modified description of our tour, first I have to say thanks to everyone at Mythic that made this possible. Not only did Andy give us a great tour, everyone we ran into was very cool about stopping to say hi and chat for a moment or two before getting right back to work. Everywhere we went, while everyone was very friendly, you could tell they were hard at work. I don’t know that we ran into anyone that looked relaxed, let alone that wasn’t working intently on something. Anyone that thinks that Mythic isn’t working their butts off to make this game the best they can make it has no idea what actually goes on in that building.
It was a lot of fun to be able to meet all the names behind the game that you see on the forums or are referenced by others at times. It was also very cool to walk around the offices and see all the artwork. Walls are lined with everything from concepts to finished products. Man, there are some things in there that make me wish they sold prints. :) We must have spent 30-45 minutes just staring in awe at the art as we walked around the different areas of the studio. We even got a bit of a sneak-peak at the recently-announced Wild Hunt Live Event coming later this summer. I have to say, I get more and more impressed with the Live Event team every time I see their work. This is definitely going to be a legendary Live Event.
