I know this was really weird and short, I am not sure if I am allowed to talk about the game publicly at all so we will see hahaha, it was fun to share a reaction to seeing something you've worked on, I guess for me anyway hahaha, more games coming sooooon!

Suited For Gaming
Congrats on Fable. The original Fable was one of my favorite games on XBOX. Wasn't huge into Fable 2 or 3 but looking forward to this one. I don't know how the game will turn out but from the teasers they've shown so far, it seems like they're shooting for a mockumentary style of humor; akin to shows like "The Office" or "What We Do in the Shadows" I don't know if that's what they're trying to incorporate into the game, but should be interesting to see what the final result will be.

Maybe some day. In the meantime, I can just remain excited about Fable, and that I'll one day get to play something that you attributed to. That's so surreal, I can't even imagine how you'd be feeling!

Would you ever be interested in making a short tutorial thingy on making assets? I know there are plenty of tutorials out there, but it would fun to have one with your personality!
Chris DePrisco
Well at least show it to me! I want to see how expertly you solved the basket full of berries with a low polygon count illusion. 😂 (I don’t even know if that is correct but you mentioned something to that effect)
Andy
Just had a read through some of those reviews, seems like a similar problem to many game studios these days, the comments about management and communication especially ring true; I don't say this from my own experience, but my partner was a staff writer for a british studio and left for similar reasons. You're better off being self employed, if game dev calls for you again get into indie development! 🙂
Sym
Hahaha its so complicated, I dont think I would ever be allowed to explain without breaking NDA :(
Sym
Its going to be really strange! Like recognizing something but then realizing its changed so much since you last saw it!
Sym
omg the fruit cart! Maybe I will screen record my blog of it if I get bored one day this summer haha
Sym
Gosh I would love to chat all about the visuals and stuff too but I literally can't hahaha, maybe one day! Game development is so tough and it doesn't even start at a job, I feel sorry for students too - from trying to break in and get a job to working too hard on portfolios. We were all crunching at university to get the game art work done for the ridiculous deadlines and expectations on our course! It was bad
Sym
Hahahaha its a very complicated subject! This is probably cheeky but since its public, you can get a good idea of employee's experiences from Glassdoor reviews...
Sym
Hahahahah thank you Andy!!
Sym
Thank youuu
Sym
Heh I hope so! It is really strange, I was playing it overly cautious hahaha
Sym
Hahaha we seem to be okay so far!! A lot of people I worked with have apparently watched my video now which is super strange haha!
Sym
Fable was brilliant! I would say its one of the games that got me REALLY into gaming, but on my own without just watching my brother play something hah. Thank you :)
Sym
Hahaha that's awesome. Its the strangest feeling of recognizing stuff that I haven't seen for a while, kind of like meeting up with an ex who's had a haircut or something hahahaha. But also for it to be locked up and secret for so long and then public, feels so so strange!
Adam
Can I just say, as a massive Fable fan, I watched this video but focused mainly on the trailer itself. But then I watched it again to see how Amber was reacting... literally trying not to burst with excitement and scanning every frame, ahaha. It seems like you really enjoy having a part of your work injected into the franchise, will you ever go back to that? And I can't be the only one interested in the mixed feelings you had.

I wasn't entirely sold on this trailer, but then I saw it. That wheelbarrow. Now it's a day one game for me! Congrats! It must be so cool to have the fruit of your labour shown to millions of people 🥳 You should totally do a playthrough and see how much of your stuff you can find!
Chris DePrisco
I care about your wheelbarrow! I’d love to see more of the stuff you’ve made. I still want to see your interview fruit cart you mentioned while playing The Last of Us. Congrats!
Flukemarm
Your excitement is so contagious! It's so cool that you modeled that wheelbarrow, I'd be bragging about that to everyone. Game development seems to have a harsh reality hit some people when they enter the industry, I hope your mixed feelings haven't soured your idea of being a game dev. I'll be waiting for gameplay footage to get a better sense, the way it plays and stuff like UI is too important for a game like this. I agree that the tone is right, I just miss the older visual style where things looked more like a fairy tale.

I don't suppose you'd be willing to say more about why you left the project over here where it's a little less public, would you? I'm really curious what you meant by mixed feelings, even if you'd have to be really vague. (If you'd rather not risk it or just don't want to, that's obviously totally fine)
Andy
Your beaming smile while watching this is probably the most wholesome content I've seen on YouTube all year tbh. Great video!
J. P.
Really a fun, quick watch. Your excitement and giddiness is positively infectious.
mattbrush3pwood
This was great to watch! Being under nda for something you're part of when it is being talked about by so many is such a weird dynamic to experience, it's good to see you exited for the game. And that is a wheelbarrow fit for any aaa title!
Jeff Gaston
This was really great to watch. It's really exciting to know you had a part in something this fantastic. Hopefully you don't get in trouble because it is something you should absolutely should be proud of. And damn, that is one great looking wheel barrow!
Thomas Mc
I always loved Fable. I weirdly still have two sealed copies of the CE of III somewhere in the house. So I was always going to be excited about this. But now I can be double excited. I know it must be hard to speak vaguely on the game, as there are reports of its existence dating back almost 4 years at this point. There is a lot to talk about and not talk about apparently. But congrats on Wheelbarrow and all the other amazing things (but mostly wheelbarrow)
ChilledGricken
lmao this is great! when i was watching the trailer i was looking at stuff and wondering if you had modelled anything that was in it haha it's awesome that you were able to work on this tho, it looks like it's got the vibe right with the humour. i've always loved fable and this trailer has got me hyped for this one! (hope you don't get in trouble for this lmao)
