"First playable" milestone of Fable 2 sent to Microsoft

Sam Vantilburgh, a developer at Lionhead Studios, the company behind Fable 2, recently updated his blog with an interesting status update of Fable 2. Apparently the Lionhead team sent its first “milestone” into Microsoft Game Studios. Go after the jump to find out what this milestone entailed.

Sam first explained what milestones are and what exactly the milestone consisted of:

As I explained in one of my earlier updates, we need to regularly submit a milestone to our publisher (for the n00bs out there, that’s Microsoft Game Studios) so that we can give them confidence in the development process of Fable 2. This milestone is referred to by the industry as the “first playable”, but we will abbreviate this to FP. The FP is important during the development of any videogame; it consists of just a few areas, that are fully functional, this allows the team to work on the major components and basics of Fable 2 and get them to a stage where the game is completely playable for the first time.
