Work continues here at the Lionhead Tower on a multitude of things! Obviously Fable 2, with the team now really digging, hammering and screwing away on the latest version. Today I had the pleasure to (briefly) spend some time with Peter, Dene and Mark during one of their play through sessions and can clearly see the mood changing; the game itself is coming along very nicely and while we've still got some time to go, that date some time later this year (with all the brown leaves and all that), but anyone who would start playing the game right now would get absorbed in the world, characters and all that jazz. The Fable 2 team rocks. I saw the golden acorn today.

Work on the next video diary (6) also continues, today I've been changing the order, cutting, cutting and more cutting after feedback from several people including Andy. It's getting to the final stages now and next week Friday we're doing the final work on it (that doesn't mean releasing it!). There's also some other video work in the pipeline one of which for an event next week. It's a close call but hopefully we got the time to get it all ready.

The IVCA evening was a rather impressive night, with all the men in tuxedo and the women in gorgeous evening dresses. The drinks were so freaking expensive and the food was under average. The entertainment, venue and entire show were just terrific! I didn't take home any award, in one category "Beijing Foreign Cultural Exchanges Centre" (Olympics) took the gold, "The Football Foundation" (silver), "Ministry of Justice" (bronze) and in the other category "Rio Tinto - Global Mining" (gold), "ArcelorMittal" (silver), "Ministry of Defence" (bronze). Still a great selection to be up against. Their videos were absolutely amazing (with shots from helicopters and of elephants), ours might just have been a bit too geeky (diary 1 + 3). A couple of snapshots coming soon!
