Dammit, people, MERRY CHRISTMAS from Lionhead. They sent around an email, too.
Season’s Greetings from all at Lionhead Studios! We wish you all the very merry Christmas and the best wishes for 2008, which will be a very busy gaming year with Fable 2 and our other game…
Best wishes,
Lionhead Studios
Gamesradar chats to Sam van Tilburgh (”Sam” for short, k) and George Kelion, community manager at Rare. It’s an interesting insight about what they actually do all day.
Also, there is a sandgoose in Fable 2.

GDC’s Jamil Moledina posted in his blog today that Molyneux will do his usual pimpin’ in a Big Feature #3 session at the March 2008 GDC, including design rationales and live Fable 2 play. Via PE.
As Microsoft releases XNA 2.0, it also announces a pre-Dream-Build-Play challenge: the Silicon Minds Warm-Up Challenge. D-B-P is Microsoft’s attempt to get more indie development on the Xbox and identify some new talent; Silicon Minds is Peter Molyneux’s idea to lure some more AI talent to Lionhead. Silicon Minds’ registration starts tomorrow, and winners of that challenge get an internship at Microsoft Research, Rare or Lionhead, as well as going on into the main Dream-Build-Play challenge.
Artificial intelligence is so important to the games we make at Lionhead Studios, and we are very excited to see what the community can come up with in this Warm-Up Challenge to Dream-Build-Play 2008. We are always on the lookout for the best talent and believe that XNA Game Studio 2.0 will be a great platform for contestants to showcase their skills on. Peter Molyneux
As reported earlier Peter Molyneux would have a live chat on Eurogamer today.
Moderating Hero: We’re told we can have one more question, so we go for - When is Fable 2 coming out?
Peter Molyneux: 2008 for sure.
Moderating Hero: Can you be any more specific?
Peter Molyneux: Late 2008. Maybe when the leaves have a slight brownish tinge - but are still on the trees, if you see what I mean.
