-The [[Oni]] project started development in April of 1997 and ran for approximately 3 years, 9 months, ending in January of 2001. Through this time, the [[Bungie West]] team ran into unexpected technical and design hurdles, resulting in a much longer development period than planned. The initial internal deadline for the game, October 1999, was gradually pushed back quarter by quarter until the game was finished in the time period from November 2000 to January 2001, depending on the platform.

 The development of the game was accompanied by unexpected events such as a financial blow to Bungie from the Myth II uninstaller bug, a partial buyout by Take-Two Interactive, turnover on the staff and a change of project lead, and then a complete buyout by Microsoft. Only a sustained crunch period at the end of development, pushing Bungie West to their limits, allowed the game to be finished to a degree where it was ready to ship, and cuts to the game were still required such as the removal of multiplayer mode.
