I got this little bit of info from lionhead.com...  :woot

"Although Peter Molyneux (the lead designer of B&W2 and CEO of Lionhead) always envisioned Black &  White to be a series of five games, Black & White 2 was officially born late one night back in Jan 2002. Prior to that first planned BW2 meeting though, the development team spent several weeks trolling through the online forums disguised as fans. They dropped suggestions, some first-class, some deliberately awful, to get an unbiased feel for what the real fans would like to see in the next game."

I wonder if there ever were LHS developers here at kayss..  :happytears:

And hopefully they haven't abandoned the "five-game" plan.. BW is probably the only one of its kind.
 
Indeed, in an interview he says the inside industry term for doing that is 'opening the gates of hell'!  :devil

I think Molyneuxs input into another BW would be pretty minimal if it happened any time soon, what with Milo and Fable III, and isn't he some kind of director at MS now?
 
What!! Fable lll ? Will the dog be replaced with a robot?  Or is that for Fable lV? ???

I remember that story but that happened before Kayssplace was born. We do have at least one of the Devs registered here. But that was after the release of BW2
 
*checks all people that registered after 2005*

*didn't actually.. because that's quite a load..*


I think other companies do that as well, to, as said, test what functions people want in the game, and what they don't.

Click to expand...

There's a new subforum for it open over LH; I just did a quick shifty over it and it looks to be real enough  :suspect
 
Slightly off topic. But do you know if Fable ll is being ported to the PC?
 
I pop in from time to time, to check for that very thing, but it looks like they've abandoned PC users with regards to Fable 2. 

Someone, I would love it if you could tell me I'm wrong :( .
