This thread got a rather obscure reference in an interview with Peter Molyneux.  I assume the question is referring to this thread at least. Not much is said but figured I'd point it out to you guys either way.

The article is here.

Thanks Mort. He can't talk about it. Then there's still hope.

Yeh, that was my question. Sorry Mort should have specifically named you but i thought everyone on the Forum would know it was your legendary-self anyway.

Ha ha, it's no big deal. You didn't need to mention me.  I just thought it was nifty a reference to this thread made it into the interview.  Cheers for trying to get something out of him.

You are to modest Mort, if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have all this interest in the Demitri project. You make things fun.

Yo yo yiggadi yo. On the lastest blog from Sam he very briefly says "and a sixth setup where I hooked up the development kit with the latest build". Is this significant to this topic?

By 'latest build' he meant 'of Fable 2'.

Anyway, back on topic.

Oooh, cryptic

 

since the presentation of the "Room" was in 2005, maybe he's found something else?

Even greater...

My older brother trade Fable for a communcator?! and then doesn't even get it back?? OH NOES!

Kikizo: But I mean, presumably, that other project is still bubbling along...

Molyneux: Well it's not called Project Dimitri any more. No, that was always a code name to try and fool you [smiles]...

Kikizo: OK... well, consider us all 'fooled' then, Peter. Do you mean there's a new name for it internally, or it is it a new name that we should be calling it by?

Molyneux: There's a new name internally, I can't obviously tell you what it is, because I would get killed. I would love to tell you now. It's based upon a breakthrough that we had about a year ago, over a year ago now. We have always been experimenting with AI and simulation, and how that can feed into gameplay. And we've now got a significant enough breakthrough that I really believe that we could be on the front page of Scientific American, or Nature or whatever. Because I think the game that comes out of this breakthrough is truly something that you would never dream possible that you could experience.

Kikizo: Well, previously you've said - and it was certainly earlier than a year ago - that it's a game in which you relive your own personal life.

Molyneux: Yes, I did say that, didn't I?

Kikizo: Is that still the sort of premise? Or has it changed?

Molyneux: Well, the funny thing is, when you see the game, you'll understand - it'll all sort of fall into place. And I think the ambition of doing that - kind of reliving your life, your personal life, laying that down to everyone and saying, "wouldn't it be great to have a game where you could feel that you could recognise bits of yourself, and bits if your children", led to this breakthrough.

Kikizo: Can you confirm if Fable II and Dimitri are still the only two projects at Lionhead right now?

Molyneux: Yes. But we're not calling it Dimitri any more. Project X, or whatever.

Kikizo: Sorry. Do you think you may ever resurrect B.C.?

Molyneux: It's absolutely amazing; you know I spoke about B.C. - but not for that long, and people are always asking me what's happening with B.C., can we resurrect it. And we could, but I'm wondering if it's the right thing to do because I think people's expectations looked so different to what the actual game was. It sort of took on a life of its own, so I wonder if it's really the right thing to do.

Some information about the new game, don't know if this has been posted before.

Nice find

Do you know the muffin man?

Well then hopefully after they have Fable 2 out the door maybe they weill open up a little more on the new project.

On Oct. 22nd I want a full interview with Peter giving us a nice idea about whats goin on with this game.

OMGZZZ!1@! FableII!11!elevun!

Unfortunatley I don't think there will be news for quite some time considering Peter keeps saying we won't get any news for around a year.

Thanks Glenn, also some other interviews as well.
Is it hard to work with Peter? Some of what he says, seems to go over my head. I especially liked the cook part. Adding the right ingredients.

But it’s a single, pure thought and so simple that it’s actually far more terrifying…

Next gen noughts and crosses anyone?

If you can't do the time then don't do the crime. Then again you can just post in here i suppose ->

When i read the information about this secret project and i try to imagine what it could be the thing i come up with is this:

A game where you would follow the life of a character, from bith to death. It would be a sim-type game but different than anything weve ever seen before. Within the game their could be portals which allowed us to view the same character but in a different time frame/pararel universe. We could see how what we were doing right now would affect the future of the character, and see what the character and the world around him Would have been like had we taken another path.

I would imagine that it could be something like that idea, obviously it would have to be more in depth but when i think about it something like this idea could be likely.

We all know Peter likes to include moral decisions in his games and he mentioned that we would be able to 're-live' our lives.. O_o

Or maybe it's a game where you don't actually control anyone, but instead your able to look into the world and view that same world within different time frames, and alter things going around in the world, kind of like a god-game.

just thinking out 'loud' here

Never did sit well with uncle Moly not having created the Sims LOL. Seems like he's trying to make his own version but better.

Achleas:

I don't want to re-live grade 10 of high school...

This game just sounds like the Sims so far though.

Just thought I'd mention two things I saw on TV show Playr:

1. During a tour of Lionhead studios on a Fable II special, they passed through a room with GREEN pillars and Molyneux said something along the lines of "I can't let you see this etc."

2. In a different episode, there was a bit about the Develop conference, in which it showed a bit of Lionhead's presentation (someone from LH was interviewed), and footage of a ship ploughing through rough seas and into a big fortress - similar to the concept art that midnyht

SPOnG: Recently, you’ve started to talk about your project which used to be known as 'Dimitri'?
Peter Molyneux: Dimitri was an experiment, and that experiment is still live. We’ve had a breakthrough in that experiment, and it’s being made into a full-blown game. I think we’ll be talking about it next year. It’s a ridiculously ambitious thing.

I wonder what the ambitious thing is? Maybe in a couple of months, we will actually start hearing more on the project?

I've been thinking (this is a huge hope of mine) that Dimitri is Black and White 3. It could possibly play out like spore, with interaction on either a global scale or a street-level thing...if only.

Ho-hum.

I'll take a stab at what it could be. Beyond a totally kickin version of The Movies, I'm thinking something sorta like this:

Naturally, the continual goal of AI is to make it so that you cannot tell that it's active. i.e. the similarities between a real player and an AI taking his/her place are so slight as to be unnoticeable. Valve has been trying this with Left 4 Dead, where you can be playing co-op, have a player leave, and an AI takes over; hopefully seamlessly.

Whereas with Fable I, the focus was on choices, Fable II seems to be a lot more about showing off your character, their world and interactivity. The logical next step of this would seem to be an MMO of some sort.

What if these two combine? It would look something like an MMO with a persistant world. You could interact with somebodys character, see them and their world, without the necessity of them being online. It would be something like Second Life with a more persistant world. AI characters taking over for real people would allow people to 'relive their life.' Imagine something as ubiquitous as facebook or myspace and then everyone was on an MMO, all the time.

There's some problems in there of course, but that's my two cents.

so I wonder wat LH is doing now on the level that they used to develop Fable 2

do ya think they're just working on patches and stuff? or are they starting on fable 3?
