Living like cavemen
This is my sixth community update. Much has happened since my last one, we've had
a developer chat
on B.C. for a start,
the
first official movie made with The Movies was released, Alter-Ego has launched, Lionsource published their first
and second installment of The Creature Compendium and LHtimes Lite launched. It took me Monday morning till
Tuesday morning to finish the site, after that I went straight to work and did a
full shift, only to collapse on Tuesday evening. One day later I also went on a
three day trip to the south of Belgium, somewhere in the mountains doing typical
boys stuff. My friends and I spend these days like real cavemen (made me think again
of B.C.), checking military
bases out. It was quite amazing.
Me and my homemade axe; a stone and stick!
The developer chat on B.C.
was really interesting; over 1200 people in total joined the chat, ready to ask
the Intrepid team any sort of questions. I consider this chat to be the best one
Lionhead has had to date! We still have some tricks up our sleeves, something different
for our next one, that's for sure! I haven't had a look at B.C. recently, but I will soon, and bring you my personal
opinion in another community update.
E3 is also coming up as you might know,
The Movies will be shown at Activision's stand and the team is really excited
about it. Only a couple of days ago "It came from Uranus" was published
on Gamespot, very impressive indeed! I caught Adrian Moore playing it recently and
I think The Movies is another precious one; this is my sort of game and there is
so much in it. Sooooo much.
Fable (yeah, Fable)
will also be shown on the showfloor, and this time I make a personal promise that
it will be the last one. We still can't officially comment on a releasedate, Lionhead
wants to be 100% sure, but I promise it’s a matter of months and it will be
out this year. We now have a very impressive wall in the office, showing all kinds
of numbers regarding the amount of bugs the team is fixing and it’s going
down fast. Different people from Lionhead and Microsoft will be playing Fable on
the showfloor and giving a demonstration, that’s going to be sweet!
Black and White 2 will also
be present at E3 on the booth of ATI, and I believe everyone is going to like it.
The original game certainly caused a stir online (tell me about it!) but Part Duo
looks VERY promising. Jonty Barnes and his team of Super(wo)men are doing mental
things over there at Black and White Studios!
So far my short update for the community, also expect a FAQ for B.C. soon and another
one for B&W2!
