Fable 2 Development

   

Still Alive

Published Wednesday, March 19, 2008 5:02 AM by Kalev

Four months. Four months and ten days. I was planning on writing one of these every week, but then the tools team crunch hit. And it’s still hitting, though not quite as hard. But it doesn’t affect me anymore.

 

A month and a bit ago, I was transferred over to the GUI team. Which means I get to work on actual game code. At first, it was a little hard, as I haven’t really used C++ since college (the tools are done in C#, and I was a scripter on BW2). But I got back into the swing of things just before the big crunch hit. This is the real thing now. Everyone is involved.

 

So don’t expect another of these posts for another couple of months.>>

GUI should be easy, as there isn't supposed to be much of it Big Smile [:D]

There isn't supposed to be any HUD. There is supposed to be a fair amount of GUI. Of course, that's water under the bridge since I'm only working on the HUD Tongue Tied [:S]

Ah, my bad. Are we talking in-game menus or game tool stuff?

Also, I am confused about the HUD/GUI thing. Is this a buddhist koan?

HUD is the Heads Up Display: The stuff you see on the sreen while you're playing
GUI is the Graphical User Interface: I'm guessing it's the menu system primarily.

Don't mean to over explain just trying to be thorough

Well to hear that "crunch time" is happening now. A G o o d [Good] indication that Fable 2 will be, in fact out this year. That is some G o o d [Good] news to hear amid all the bad news over here in America.
