Lionhead Releases the Third Installment of the Studio’s Entertaining Video Diary Series
Meet the “Geeky” and
Extremely Funny Central Technology Group (CTG) at Lionhead Studios, Responsible
For Creating the Unique Tools that Produce and Enhance the Gameplay in “Fable 2”
Get up close and personal with
the CTG at Lionhead in the third installment of the studio’s video diary
series, which is available for viewing and download at
www.lionhead.com and on
Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
Currently recovering from
the studio’s 10th Anniversary bash, which included several man hours
to create elaborate costumes, fireworks, and an all-around good time, the team is hard
at work on “Fable 2” for Xbox 360™, the highly-anticipated follow up to the
best-selling, Xbox® exclusive “Fable®.” Members
of the CTG took time out of their busy development schedules to describe in
detail what it takes to be “a geek,” as well as create the tools and technology
that Lionhead is using to create the unique gameplay of “Fable 2,” such as the
one-button combat system and crescendo action sequences.
The diary, which runs a
little more than seven minutes in length, and is intercut with a recap of the
10th Anniversary Party, includes anecdotes and laugh-out-loud
commentary from programmers, staging designers, producers and a “technical master
chef;” who describe how CTG’s work feeds back into the development of “Fable 2,”
and the case of the “missing fog machine.”
That’s all for now, but
please look for continued behind the scenes tours of Lionhead and more
installments of the video diary in the future.
