Welcome to my "Magic and Mayhem: Art of Magic" and "Machines" microsites.
Machines was one of the first true 3D Real Time Strategy games (RTS). It used a proprietry gaming engine developed by Charybdis Ltd (UK based - there is company from the states with the same name). I worked on Machines for 2 and a bit years and at the time collated together some nuggets. Please follow the link below to the Machines part of the site.
Charybdis also developed a sequel to the ever popular Magic and Mayhem series. The sequel was somewhat confusingly called "Magic and Mayhem: The Art of Magic".
I was lucky enough to be the project lead on MM2 and had the great fortune of working with many fine developers, artists, musicians, testers and management team.
Unfortunately Charybdis ceased trading just as we were finishing The Art of Magic. Luckily the publisher (Virgin Interactive) paid a small group of the original developers to finish the game off.
