I wanted to share just a few emails we've received in the past year.  I'm still reading through the many thousands of them but by using a few search-words I managed to pick these out of the Webmaster's vast email archive.

This is a conversation between Matt and the Webmaster about how Lionhead's ideas become a reality. I think Matt got the cocky humor behind the reply of the Webmaster and as I understand it Matt also received a proper, helpful reply to his question.

to whom it may concern,
 
How would you go about getting a game idea to become a reality?

Hi,
 
You have to buy a turn-this-idea-into-a-reality-machine.  There might be some left on eBay, that’s what we’re using at the moment.
 
Kind regards,
 Lionhead Studios

Kind regards
matt

This email was received a 9 months ago; we're not allowed to post the reply, the Webmaster forbid us. We especially like the subject of this piece of well thought out literature, and the image.

Of course we also get really nice emails that praise Lionhead for all its hard work. Although some of them are quite hard to decipher, I'm sure you'll get the idea of what Eduard is trying to say.

Subject: Fable: the lost capter

Hello! my name is Eduard. I am from Spain.

I wanted to tell to you about one game. In two weeks ago, i bought the "the fable:the last capter" for PC. I listened what was a game, but .... all the word are not enought to describe that experience in the game.

All my life i have been playing with computer, and actually i play to XBOX and PC. I am in love to diferents games (final Fantasy, Black n White, commandos, etc), but FABLE is the best game that never have played.

I wanted to tell to you that feeling, because i think that is not enought to know that the game is , looking how much the game has been sold, for me is very important that you know with my words, that game is FANTASTIC.

I want to buy XBOX360 but i want to wait to the moment to Fable 2 go on.

Thank you for make games like this.

Eduard, from Spain.

There will be more of them later, watch this space.
