Wow - Lionhead closed 4 years ago today. It was a lot of fun working there. Looking back at old Fable: Legends work. This was one of the first levels I made for it, still in UE3 using old Fable assets set in a pirate cove with a giant airship in the middle. Circa 2013pic.twitter.com/2wSQJzXwYH

When I started delving into tech design because...Well because UE4 is amazing, I spent some time playing around with Villain gameplay. Here I was looking at giving creatures context sensitive orders and bonuses, i.e. hiding in bushes to ambush, holding a overwatch position, etcpic.twitter.com/NCh2WLWPGH

Here I spent some time working on the possession ability. I remember many 'discussions' about being able to possess creatures. One of the strengths of UE4 was that you could just prototype something in a matter of hours. But it still didn't make it into the game :(pic.twitter.com/6DcAkWw9EM

Here is some of the final gameplay before the game was greenlit, still in UE3. If I remember rightly, the music was @ClarkycatDesign choice? This was one of the best points in the project, the game was really fun to play at this point. Also - I forgot how cool Inga looked thenpic.twitter.com/UdBtl8DxuB

This was a new season 2 map before we got closed down. I prototyped a new game mode...Push the pig. Heroes pushed a pig through the level. If the pig took too much damage it exploded in a shower of bacon and sausages. Where else can you make something that...weird?pic.twitter.com/zXqeIcqE59
