CVG Visit Lionhead Studios

Dark Drakan — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 12:47:29 +0000

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?

Important: Fable 2 Gallery Clean Up

projectego — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 21:50:09 +0000

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.

The reason it takes so long to backup the contents of ProjectEgo.net is because it is overly bloated with huge, uncompressed images in the gallery. And it’s basically effecting performance all over the server. As a rough estimate, I’d say that there’s somewhere in the region of 600MB worth of images in the gallery.

Important: In approximately one week from now, I will be cleaning out ALL images from the gallery which do not belong to Gold Supporters. This includes cleaning out image galleries which belong to the staff, too. This includes me. However, if you’ve got a Gold Supporter badge under your name then there’s nothing to fret about.

I’d just thought I’d give everyone a heads-up. A week should be enough time for everyone to head to their sextion of the gallery and backup all the images you want to save.
