[[Bungie]] made the first game (The Fallen Lords) and the second one (Soulblighter). In a way that is not unusual for Bungie, there are multiple references to Myth in Oni, from [[Music/Myth|musical themes]] to quotes and other [[Easter eggs]].


Unlike [[Oni]], Myth was shipped with multiplayer and was mod-ready to begin with. Later, Bungie released some of their development tools and then leaked the source, which was settled through an [[wikipedia:Non-disclosure_agreement|NDA]].
The third game (The Wolf Age), was developed by Mumbo Jumbo for [[Rights|Take 2]], after Bungie was bought by Microsoft and Myth was acquired by T2; development was rushed and fans generally agree that the game did not fulfill its potential.

Unlike [[Oni]], Myth was shipped with multiplayer and was mod-ready to begin with; Bungie also released some of their development tools. Later, the Myth II source was provided to some fans through an [[wikipedia:Non-disclosure_agreement|NDA]] with T2, which has allowed them to continuously maintain the game application and improve it down to the modern day, while maintaining compatibility with the Myth I and II game data. The current developer group is called Project Magma.
