Mythic Briefing (August 11, 2008)

[Bandit LOAF]

Readers already know the story of how we came to be given access to Electronic Arts' archive of Wing Commander and Origin data at EA Mythic -- now we're proud to show you some of what we saw. This is just a tiny sample - our team took over 4,000 pictures, 8,000 scans, transferred three-dozen tapes and 25 SyQuests, digitized 100 VHS tapes and imaged 700 CD-ROMs.

Thanks to Paul Barnett and the rest of the team at Mythic we were able to spend five days working with this material in a dedicated conference room. From 7 AM to 7 PM we worked on site and then spent our evenings searching for missing equipment and backing up data. We truly lived like software developers for a week... it was exhausting and incredibly rewarding.

Please read on to see learn more.

Bioforge

Hi all!

I'm interested in Origin Games, especially about the Bioforge game.
I'm trying to get/collect information, source code, or development asset about this game.

Do you know if, in the discs you've retrieved, there are any data related to Bioforge? I would be very interested to have a closer look to these data.

So I'm wondering if your team could release/share them thru FTP.

Thanks for your hard work in order to keep the Origin memories.

It is going to take a while to go through all the data. There probably is some bioforge material in there somewhere. Eventually,whatever material is cleared by EA will be released in one form or another, but until we've taken stock of everything we cannot field individual requests for material.

Hi,

Are there any news about Mythic Archive project ?
Do you think you're about to release more data soon ? (like bioforge assets: source code, 3D models, ...)

Thanks.
