Walt Yarbrough’s Summary
I joined Mythic Entertainment as an entry level game developer for the game Dark Age of Camelot in April of 2000.
At the time, Mythic was, essentially, a startup company - with a small core of experienced people, with funding to make one game. I was the first outside employee hired for the game, and the 2nd to start at the company.
From that position, I have seen every aspect of MMORPG development. I have steadily risen in responsibility, assuming increased management roles.
I have shipped the following products:
Dark Age of Camelot (Content Developer - Content Lead - Mythic Entertainment, 2001)
Dark Age of Camelot: Foundations expansion (Live Producer, Mythic Entertainment, 2002)
Dark Age of Camelot: New Frontiers expansion (Live Producer, Mythic Entertainment, 2003)
Dark Age of Camelot: Gold Edition (Content Producer, Mythic Entertainment, 2003)
Dark Age of Camelot: Catacombs expansion (Content Producer, Mythic Entertainment, 2004)
Dark Age of Camelot: Platinum Edition(Content Producer, Mythic Entertainment, 2004)
Dark Age of Camelot: Darkness Rising expansion (Producer, Mythic Entertainment, 2005)
Dark Age of Camelot: Epic Edition (Producer, Mythic Entertainment, 2005)
Dark Age of Camelot: Labyrinth of the Minotaur expansion (Producer, EA Mythic, 2006)
Dark Age of Camelot: 5th Anniversary Edition (Producer, EA Mythic, 2006)
Dark Age of Camelot: A Dragon's Revenge Campaign expansion (Producer II, EA Mythic, 2007)
Ultima Online: A Kingdom Reborn expansion (Producer II, EA Mythic, 2007)
Upcoming Products:
Ultima Online: Stygian Abyss expansion (Producer II, EA Mythic, 2007)
Dark Age of Camelot: Unannounced Campaign expansion (Producer II, EA Mythic, 2007)
At my peak during the Darkness Rising expansion, I had 125 developers working under me.
