I'm trying to write a little more frequently, so I wrote some words about the development of the original Fable. Yay!

The story of Fable's origins - failed pitches, a game called Wishworld, and unlikely sources of inspiration.

@bbbscarter thanks for sharing, was a great read and enjoyed much of the added humor. I didn't realize how much Peter had helped you guys get a kick start. It's also really interesting to see what Wishworld looked like so early into development! How big was the team at that point?

@hogsy thanks! I was maybe 23 when we started, so having Lionhead’s support was great, particularly at a business level.

At the point of those screenshots I think there were 4 of us.
