Lionhead have recently released the 6th Video Diary created by community manager Sam Van Tilburgh (thanks again Sam). The latest Video Diary talks in more detail about the Art and the Hero and reveals some more details into the looks of the characters and the corruption and purity scale. Also thanks to sijli for posting this on the forums.

Shortly under 2 months after we were announcing our last milestone of 6000 members we have just hit yet another. Projectego.net is now celebrating its 7000th member milestone, at the rate we are expanding we could hit 10,000 in another 5-6 months. Along with the release of Fable 2 fast approaching, things are looking bright. As always thanks to all the people who have registered, along with the news editors, supporters, & modders and everyone else who contributes to our website.

CVG have recently visited the Lionhead Studios offices in Guildford and interviewed studio head Louise Copley (who was also interviewed by TR1GG3RMAN here), lead level designer Ian Wright and lead concept artist Mike McCarthy.

In the Interview CVG quizzed Lionhead on such things as the following:

*After seeing the game in person, in feels like you’ve gone out to attract a more casual audience to Fable 2, as well as traditional gamers?

*With casual games in mind then - especially the Wii which is selling like mad - how do you think a game like GTA IV can turn up today - which definitely isn’t Wii Fit - and still sell in the millions?

*How important is that Sandbox-style world to Fable?

*How are you making sure this epic world doesn’t intimidate the casual audience we were talking about earlier?

*Has it been difficult creating an art style that feels unique in the heavily-crowded Fantasy genre?

*Sony recently claimed it’d overtaken Xbox 360 in Europe. What does that mean for Lionhead?

Bad news, folks. I’m going to have to start removing user images that have been uploaded to the Fable 2 Gallery. I’ll explain why: yesterday it took me about 3 minutes to download a full backup of the contents of Mass Effect X; about 10 minutes for Assassin’s Creed X; an hour for Devil May Cry; and it took about two-three hours to backup the contents of ProjectEgo.net - at least, that’s how long it took before I had to cancel.
