He admits he’s ”slightly over-promised” on occasion and says he could ”name at least 10 features” made up to ”stop journalists going to sleep”. Where’s my acorn?!
Molyneux now joins Shigeru Miyamoto, Nolan Bunshell and Will Wright as he accepted his BAFTA Fellowship. ”I’d like to thank the press, by the way, for listening to my stuff,” said the veteran game designer, creator of many well known IPs like Populous.
“Sorry – I’ve slightly over-promised on things on occasion,” he continued.
“I could name at least 10 features in games that I’ve made up to stop journalists going to sleep and I really apologise to the team for that.” One such famous promise was the ‘infamous Fable acorn’ feature where you could ‘watch’ an acorn grow.
”Every day I wake up and thank the stars that I’m still here now,” he said. “I love my job so much and I really feel like going home and working harder than I’ve ever done to prove that I deserve this award.” Fable III is Lionhead’s latest title release - on PC in May.
