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

@bbbscarter Badger Trifle would have set the avant garde chef world alight!

A great read, thanks for writing it.

@sinbad well, as you would know, getting the sponge layer correct is the key.

And thank you, it was cathartic! I’m trying to work out if I should do a part two (many strange things happened between signing and launch), or a tech write-up (we had an entirely bespoke tech stack).

@bbbscarter Why not both? 😉 (with full respect to the obvious time it takes to write these things )

@sinbad indeed, and there's a pesky game to write as well. :) I'm always impressed how effectively you appear to multiplex!
