Not exactly related to the definitive edition but that's a really nice podcast episode about how the reviving of the old Age of Empires games started, how it was to work with the original developers at Microsoft and why 2D still looks so much better than 3D games from that time. I really recommend it! https://www.hanselminutes.com/568/forgotten-empires-amazing-... |

However the podcast is from before the AoE1 remake announcement. It's about the AoE2 remake. Forgotten Empires were a bunch of fan modders that made an unofficial expansion in 2012. In 2013 Microsoft relaunched AoE2 HD and Forgotten Empires got to release there fan expansion into an official expansion. Forgotten Empires, now LLC, hired Matt Pritchard and Rich Geldreich from Ensemble Studios fame and they are now the developers of the AoE1 remake. Such a great story :)
