I absolutely LOVE this game! So glad to see you check this out!

[@PraetorGix]

Peter Molineaux recently joined his old Lionhead pals for this project. He announced you will be able to play this in a VR headset and see it in 7D, the map will be bigger than the surface of Jupiter, the NPC's will have true AI and will keep living when you shut the PC down and if you win the game you will become immortal.

[@dr_lulz]

He also said no one would be raped during the making of this video game.

[@mmybickers]

I will be really pleasantly surprised if this actually makes it out of development into a well-balanced game. It's absolutely gorgeous, but it feels very much like a passion project where devs keep adding instead of editing or considering, you know, gameplay. It has vast grand generational ideas, but basically barely built the tutorial stages in three years. I'd love to be wrong, but I'm not holding my breath, especially CONSIDERING the lineage it comes from.

[@AnthyLoneExoria]

You DON'T want to build tutorials too early. They'd need to keep changing it but yeah. I get you.

[@mmybickers]

@@AnthyLoneExoria I get that, too, but I don't even necessarily mean the specific tutorial dialogue so much as the really basic core mechanics... it doesn't look like they're remotely changing/editing/refining that at ALL, just piling more and more grand notions on top. Star ratings on every item! Ten thousand million NPCs who are all supposed to be romanceable! And then we’re totally going to have generations playable you guys! (Look up the absolute BATSHIT marriage system if you want to boggle at designer “this is a cool idea, who cares about gameplay?” excess. Not to mention the completely user-unfriendly UI.) Not even having balanced crop (tilling/planting/watering) mechanics at this point in development, when SO many other HM/SV clones already exist, is worrying, especially since they're selling $10+ alpha access already. It's a nice dream, but their reluctance to do any of that constant changing is exactly why I'm so skeptical. You gotta kill those darlings sometimes, and this team does NOT seem willing to do any editing.

For me Fable 3 felt like an incomplete game. The final portion felt like the beginning of a game... Like they had intended to go somewhere from there, but then they cut it, threw a timer in there and a cop out Deus Ex Machina to overcome, shipped it, and called it a game. It was like oh okay, now we have a game... What, it's over? It literally just started to be its own thing instead of a Fable 2 expansion pack...

How was it everything you had hoped for, when Peter Molyneux legendarily overpromised everything that was supposed to be in that game? I for one was severely disappointed with that game when I got it (on release). It was a fun game, but it was far less groundbreaking than what was promised.

Chicken chaser

[@Mc12Demonkiller]

I like the 3rd one the most but I never really played the first 2 but from game play I saw it appeared they took the best of both and combined it. The story line sped up near the end which I didn’t like but I do plan to play the other ones before fable 4 comes out.

[@Wolfsheim23]

I can't remember for sure, but didn't someone from Lionhead work on Giants, Citizen Kabuto? That was such an amazing game that disappeared into obscurity.

Apparently, this game was already on my wishlist. I went through steam (a while ago) wishlisting all of the interesting looking farming / life sim type titles, but I didn't actually recognise this one, upon seeing it again. Thanks for the reminder. I'll keep waiting for a full release, eventually. 👍🏻 I'll probably just play Stardew Valley for forever, until then. 😅

I played it a few years ago and spent quite a few hours on it before I decided I seen enough of the EA.

I played it during december and decided it was NOT finished and woefully needs updates. The caveat, I really like it a lot and hope they can finish it. It has character, you can tell that it is a passion project.

[@mmybickers]

Yeah, I'm kind of surprised at how almost universally the reaction to it is entirely due to the IDEA of what the game COULD be, or nostalgia for Fable, instead of the really... clunky actual demo. I got it in a sale for $10 and honestly feel pretty ripped off. (Yes, it's on me for buying a game in development, but uh, so is Vampire Survivors, soooo...)

Cant wait for this to finally go to 1.0 actually helped kickstart this and Im glad i did i just hate the wait on games now. I love what theyre doing, i know it takes time and im glad theyre taking their time. Take all the time you need. I just really hate now how i spend more time waiting on games than i do playing them lol. I kind of miss the old days when you didnt even know about a game until you went to a brick and mortar store and seen what was new that month. Now you hear about games sometimes 6 or 7 YEARS before they release. It really messes with your brain and the enjoyment of the games sometimes. Just wish there was a way devs could have software or AI or something to help speed up the process somewhat. Course im sure they do too i guess. Anyways just some thoughts from a longtime gamer and lover of games in general.

[@sumireravenclaw8034]

Yeah, I helped kickstart it too. I mean for $5 you got a game that's like easily 50+ hours maybe even more.

So this is the one with generations right? How long does your character last till they die of old age and you change generations?

[@NabrinaBlue]

I don't think that is in the game yet, but according to the Kynseed contract your character gives up their body at age 60. Death in combat and Mr. Fairweather's gifts can take years off your life though, so that means it can happen sooner.

[@blytheberesford2657]

I'd honestly still consider Fable 1 and 2 to be some of the best games. It really feels as though big studios are pushing a much narrower range of game types nowadays. I don't tend to play FPS, racing, or fighting games, but I do know that the scope of rpg/action/adventure games seems to have really narrowed down to be "massive open world games with a tonne of check-list collectibles and passably good/repetitive combat". I miss rpgs that felt like they had more character to them.
