Curiosity developer 22 Cans is only going to make one full game, studio founder Peter Molyneux has revealed to VG247. The developer considers Curiosity one of 22 experiments that will essentially fuel creation of its only full game, which is yet to be revealed.
Project currently codenamed MOAT.
Imagine a game where Peter Molyneux presents an extraordinary set of ideas that players will enjoy for years to come. Now imagine that this particular game will come out because it will never exist.
One of the biggest reveals at this year's Xbox Games Showcase was the latest Fable trailer. After a lengthy stint of silence, Playground Games gave us a look at bits of the title, albeit in a trailer that was mostly made up of CGI nonsense headlined by comedian Richard Ayoade, who is playing a rather frustrated giant.
Molyneux asked about what he thought about the Fable reveal.
From GI.biz: "UK developer 22cans has suffered a round of redundancies, GamesIndustry.biz has learned.
The studio, founded by Fable creator Peter Molyneux, has laid off multiple employees, although an exact figure has not been disclosed.
A spokesperson said: "Unfortunately, due to a number of factors including projects reaching a certain stage in their development, we can confirm that a number of roles at 22cans have been made redundant."
Doesn’t that always happen with every studio lol? Contract workers for certain stages.
Seriously, what is Peter Molyneux up to these days? In his prime, he was the most famous western developer in the world. Now he's doing f all.
They're not actually layoffs, they're fantastical multi-faceted journeys into lands of unimaginable unemployment giving the worker near-infinite freedom of choice.
Why talk about, make it already and you are making my blood curl
Don't know what says "full of self" more than making a dev house, talking the crap out of out its first title, how its going to change the indusrty if not the way people think about games, then saying THAT will be the only game the dev house will make.
I keep wondering, what promise did Peter make that he couldn't keep? except fable 1 where he did left out some stuff he mentioned.
One 'FULL' game?
Is that possible in todays dlc world?
