Fable III Experience Progress

UUUUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I hate animating... animating sucks. Don't ever do it. Know why everyone on this site is a miserable sociopath? Because animating, that's why.

Anyway, I put up a countdown to the release of A Fable III Experience here, because apparently I just love being wrong. I've already had to extend it one week, but hopefully that'll be the last time. I've caught a few lucky breaks, like the video turning out 6 minutes shorter than I expected and having a friend to animate the mouths for me while I work on other things.

I have all the dialogue in its place, right along side a full animatic. With some help from Jazza, I was able to solve a couple of stupid Flash problems early on, so I don't have those to worry about anymore. I've also been allowed to use the beta of Swivel, Newgrounds's special flash to video converter, so the finished product should even look great on Youtube. Right now, I'm still in the artwork stage, drawing all of the backgrounds and enough of the characters to get started moving them, which is A LOT.

What I'd love to do is have an online "launch party" of sorts, which I can at least say will be a Wednesday at midnight, eastern american time. Basically, I'll just be streaming myself from my site here as I upload the video, but then we can all share in the joyous occasion of me never having to animate Fable-related things again! You can follow my facebook page to get a sufficiently early notice on when I'll be releasing it.

Anyway, that's all for now. The current date is October 10th, so hopefully I'll see you all then!

The best of days to you all,
- Kyle

Looking forward to seeing the finished product :D

(Although I have to agree with you on how tedious animating is... Always worth it in the end though)

Oh hey, I've been wondering where you were :)

I hope this was worth the wait. I still think that your work is really good. I wish you luck on future projects.-X

Glorious man, just glorious. I especially love how you managed to fit in both Jasper and Reaver, they were my favorite characters in the game. I can't wait to see the finished product :D

WhiteLightning 2012-09-24 19:27:28

Not only that, but they're voiced by RicePirate and Jazza! :D

"After playing Fable 3, I don't feel it's worth any more of my time than it has already taken. Therefore, I regret to inform all of you that I will not be doing a Fable III Experience. Don't worry though, as soon as there is another good Fable game, I will be doing an animation for that."

20 Years Later...

"Does anyone else remember Fable, the series? Well, for those of you that do, you'll recall that Fable 3 marked a very short decline for the series, resulting almost directly in the cancellation of the Fable universe as a whole in the year 2015 after a couple of arcade games nobody bought, and Kinect failures nobody...bought. However, I am proud to announce that I am now working at [name of studio which ends up owning the rights to Fable] as HEAD of the Fable IV team! I certainly didn't expect all of this when I first created A Fable Experience all those years ago. But first, I'm going to finally COMPLETE my remake of Yoda's Christmas! Huzzah!"

Can't tell if optimistic about future or pessimistic about present...

"never having to animate Fable-related things again" What?... wait, what?.. n-no, say it isn't so.
I love the fable series, and I love your animations. but I guess when it's no longer fun to do something, animation (like anything else) can be more of a chore than a hobby. Good luck as you finish up, and in whatever you decide to do next.

I would actually like to do a few Rodriguez shorts down the road, without the Fable context, so this isn't necessarily the last time you'll be seeing the characters :)
