Fable: TLC Anniversary [UPDATED July 12th]
Fable: TLC Anniversary Fable has been around for almost seven years now. On Fable's seventh anniversary of this year, I will release my remastered version of the game. You'll see much better graphics, music, and videos. This is a very large change to the game that changes... well... everything. Every object, cloud, blade of grass, and even smoke- will look more modern and beautiful. Fable: Anniversary is a new world, inside the same one you already know (cheesy, but it's a good way to describe it). Splash image: Lots of progress has been made since the last screenshot. Before you freak out on me and ask "Why the hell does it look so BLOTCHY"... let me explain Me and a very good (and thankfully way smarter than me) friend of mine have spent about a month breaking down a program called Open Sauce. We've adapted the program to modify Fable: TLC. It's.. tough. To say the least. I'm having troubles improving the lighting. Basically, to keep it in simple words... I'm having a hard time getting the light to stick to surfaces right and everything looks like this . Next previews will be coming in a few weeks and by then it SHOULD be resolved. Been working hard, can't wait to show it off Right click on the image in the spoiler and select "View Image" to see it better. It's pretty big. Screenie! Big progress Screenshots really don't do much justice, either. My computer isn't quite the fastest one out there. Most of you will get way more out of it. Please, any feedback is great. Your opinion is needed! Also, beta testers (five, to be exact) would be highly appreciated. A beta will be ready around August. Details on how I've done what I've done will be revealed after release OPEN SAUCE DEMONSTRATION: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL-xWbwbq14 Open Sauce is a program made to modify Halo: Custom Edition on PC. Re-writing it to modify Fable is freaking HARD. I applaud Sean for being able to do it, thanks to him, this is all possible! UPDATE, JUNE 18:: Got some sad-ish news. [No, it's not cancelled. Don't freak out.] Due to some difficulties, setbacks, a funeral, and several distractions, Fable: TLC Anniversary will be pushed back one month (POSSIBLY two), making the new release date in October. Which most likely means the beta won't be ready until September. This ALSO means the name probably won't be "Fable: Anniversary", it will more than likely be "Fable: Remastered". Bottom line, there's simply not enough time for me to have it finished by September. Don't be upset though! This all means you'll see THAT much more production value. AND, to make up for it, I've uploaded a little sample of the new soundtrack. We have the full song recorded but what I've uploaded is just a little concept "taste" of what kind of new sounds you can expect (mind the hiccups in the sound. That was just a mistake we made recording it) We'll also have a website for the mod after the release. Because there WILL be regular updates. Thanks for all the support and feedback, again. I know many are looking forward to this, and I know some are a little skeptical about it. But trust me, lots of work and love being put into this ^^ Soundtrack Samples: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl4kNIk2iBA AND http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIwxTnB_LTM&feature=chann el&list=UL AAAND http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awvVDVhEgYU More songs from the soundtrack are going to be uploaded on that channel so watch out. Also some gameplay shots will be added sometime before release. Thanks a million to Over The Top Music for writing a soundtrack for this and being a big part of the project! Fable: Genesis Yes, in progress. This will be released shortly after Anniversary as an optional expansion on gameplay. Fable: Genesis adds a very in-dept back story about where heroes first originated and how they came to be as legendary as they are. There are "new" (not new... hard to explain) cutscenes, new voice acting, new music (it's original ), new weapons, armor, smarter enemies and tougher monsters, and looooong yet epic boss battles. Bosses have been spiced up and given steroids. Expect even the Hornet Queen battle to be three times harder. The whole point of this mod will be to expand on the story and make the game feel much harder and fast paced. UPDATE:: July 12th Good news this time! Lots of screenshots (and MAYBE gameplay videos) coming mid-August! Beta will be released in late September and will last about two or three weeks. Then the full release will be out in late October or early November. My progress in development right now is mainly focused on sound. Almost all the textures are done and the lighting system is...pretty, to say the least. But it's not quite stable and still buggy. I'm not 100% Positive it will be incorporated in the release. Also, I'm planning on changing the name. Since the release will no longer be on Fable's 7th anniversary. I've started a poll...please vote! Thanks for all the support guys! You won't be disappointed!
Wow... the graphics look MUCH better. Excellent work.
That's cool, but the screenshot really just looks like you ran a sharpen filter over the screenshot
I know it does You'll see, though. People will have their speculations. A lot of this has ever been done before with the game. And admittedly, it's a screenshot of a video from two weeks ago. I had to tweak the graphics down (as you can tell with the cliffs in the background) so I could even record the video smoothly, since my graphics card isn't QUITE top notch. So I had to sharpen it some to bring it back up to.... "full power"... for lack of better words. If that makes sense. ....just bringing an end to that right now Thanks for the feedback
I can't wait
Wow when I saw this I thought I was looking at a different game. nice job!
Thanks Here's a little update:: I added a new screenshot to the top post. It's a huge jump from the last one. As you can see, I removed the god awful blur and replaced it with some... experimental lighting. I'm having a lot of troubles with it. Fable does NOT like it when you mess with the graphics to this degree. But don't freak out, it'll be resolved. Pretty close to figuring this out. Not all the textures have been changed yet, unfortunately. Once I'm done with the lighting situation, I'll finish up the textures. I actually had to revert a lot of the textures back to their defaults in order to test out the lighting and stuff. Also! All the new music, audio, and video has been recorded and edited. In one month I'll begin applying it in-game. So for those of you who care, in about one more month the mod will be in the home stretch of development: finishing up the textures and then just polish, polish, polish until it's perfect. THEN... beta.... release Thanks for the support and good feedback! This is a pain in the ass but it's worth it. I promise the next screenshot will be a lot less.... weird
Looks sick it's going to be AMAZING can't wait! Brilliant job looks much better!!
I'd be happy to beta test this for you when you're ready for the beta release.

Hi I've been following you for awhile, I'm really excited for this! I had a question. I know your already doing so much, if it's not to complicated could you some how implement a system to dye clothes like in the later fable games. I'm sure it's complicated and time consuming, if not that's fine. It's just a feature I would love to have so bad in the old and best fable game! I can't wait for you to finish! Good luck!
I can't do that.. don't think it's possible, atleast for me. But you CAN expect to see more variations of each set of armor/clothes. So you'll have a better selection of colors and looks (also armor rating changes). Which that was a simple thing to do. i.e: Originally, there are Bright/Good, Neutral, and Dark/Evil variations of armor. So, (these ONLY go for the Platemail), there is now Bright Plate, Neutral Plate, Dark Plate, Will Plate, Judgement Plate, and Diamond Plate [no, I'm not including Archon's armor]. Which, all the new ones are hidden around Albion to find. All the new variations are different for all the clothing sets. All are subject to change right now. Thanks for the feedback! Hope this makes up for the dye
Yes that's amazing idea! You're amazing! I have my fingers crossed for this! I know it'll be amazing. I don't wanna spoil it, but I wanted to ask. Those armors and I'm sure, Weapons that are hidden around Albion, are they gonna be in silver key chest or dig spots or what? If i was a cat i would be dead. Ha also this is a really selfish question:P yesterday was my birthday, I just turned 20 could you name a sword or armor piece after me? itd really make me happy. Doesn't have to be anything good and could have a stupid description on it, it's just be so awesome or maybe a villager. Idk I have no idea how Hard that would be or if you're willing but gosh. It'd make me so happy to find me or something with my name:D my names Neil steven smith. Sorry to be asking so much of you, but I could give you more info for it to really be me. if your willing. You'd make my life complete seriously.
Haha! Don't worry about spoiling anything, it's about time I give up a little information. Weaker items will be in normal chests (hidden well), and more powerful or valuable items will be in silver key chests (hidden better). Also, happy birthday sure, PM me or something and let me know what you want; what kind of item(s), name, description, maybe even how you want it to look.
I did. Thank you so much! I wanna cry X)
Re: Fable: TLC Anniversary [UPDATED July 12th]
This looks awesome. You should contact Kornman, Kirby, ChokingVictim, or another close developer to OpenSauce. OpenSauce is a really great addon. Have you got normal map support and dynamic shadows working in Fable? By the way, incase you're still having trouble with the lighting system, you should contact Kornman or ChokingVictim. They did kind of get first-hand experience DEVELOPING OpenSauce's lighting system, so they're the best people to speak to.
You know what, that's a good idea. Because two weeks ago I scratched the new lighting and got rid of it because it wasn't working right. I'll see if they have any advice Thanks for the info.
If you can't get a hold of them indirectly, here's Kornman's email address according to the google code page: kornman00@gmail.com And TheFieryScythe, another developer's email too: TheFieryScythe@gmail.com You could also try contacting them through Kornman's own Halo-based OS thread: http://www.halomods.com/ips/index.php?/topic/6-open-sauce-ha lo-custom-edition/ If you still can't get a hold of them, try contacting either the project leader of CMT, which is very close to Kornman, or the former CMT project leader. Teh Lag(Current Project Leader): http://www.halomods.com/ips/index.php?/user/3-teh-lag/ Masterz1337(Former Project Leader): http://www.halomods.com/ips/index.php?/user/299-masterz1337/ Tell them about your issue and they'll likely refer you to one of the OS experts. It's unfortunate that the OS experts are so inactive that I have to provide you with this alternative, but I'm sure it's worth it.
This sounds like it is going to be epic will keep my eye on this, also wouldnt mind being part of the beta
Hey, ive been a lurker for a long time, but i finally signed up a few days ago because i wanted to express my gratitude towards you. Im so glad that your willing to put so much effort into something to make a small amount of people happy. Fable was the defining game of my childhood, and you are bringing it back for me. i am very appreciative, and if you need anything, you can pm me and ill give you my email address. Also, if you have room, i would be happy to beta test.
Hi. I actually bookmarked this and have been checking it often for updates. I love Fable and always have, and having seen something like this made me dig up my copy of TLC just to replay it . I am extremely excited to see this happen, and I would LOVE to help with the beta. Send me a PM if I can assist in any way. Thanks!
Ive always loved fable tlc its the best rpg ever thanks sooo much for doing this i would LOVE to beta test! im just here for this post!
Have you told microsft or lionhead your doing this?!
Doubt they care .
I love the fables always have to see this thing, I dug my copy of TLC replay...
Hi OogaBoogaBooga I've been following this poast from the beginning and I made an account just to tell you I think you're doing something fantastic. Fable TLC is one of my favorite games and I seriously CANNOT WAIT for the next update so c'mon man were is it? I've always wanted to do something like this but I just don't know how and if I did Fable TLC would be the first game I chose. So yeah, thanks for everything you're doing and we all need another update. ____________________________________________________________ ____ And if I was being a critic the screenie's look like you ran a sharpen filter over them. Also, from what I've seen you need to name something pachinko
Most likely not and I am a bit worried. OogaBoogaBooga's Profile Last Message: Thu, 02 August 2012 20:00 Best wishes to OogaBoogaBooga every one please agree.... Please come back with or without your mod... we miss you.
i agree Sativarg it has been a while since i've seen anything..... maybe he just hasn't had much time to jump on here, or he is working away on this and is leaving us in suspense >.< hopefully he comes back soon
We can but hope and wish OogaBoogaBooga the best. thanks and Kudos for your reply
Man, that sucks. I figured out about this 2 days ago and I thought it was a good idea.
I agree. Having a nasty deadline hanging over us that threatens to alienate a member from a community really sucks. I vote the deadline be dead. Long live the artist.
Hello I have been modding in fable for a weeko now and I have dowloaded many of you're mods but this mod looks like it gonna blow away all other mods you created. I really look forward to it. If you needsomeone to test you're beta then I will gladly accept
Absolutely. Something like this shouldn't have that much pressure to get it done, haste will just detract from the quality. I too vote the deadline to be dead.
omg *_* pls finish this mod its looks sooo awesome
How awkward would this be if he was dead?
How would any of us ever know? Sadness....
Extremely lame poetry made in 2 mins Dearest OogaBoogaBooga, You were a rare one, A beautiful rose in a land of darkness. With the Courage of a dog (lol yes, I did that on purpose). You never disappointed us. We wish you the best of the best. Fair well, friend. OogaBoogaBooga, dead or alive, you deserve a nice blank/free verse. Sincerely, The entire Fable TLC Mod team
so whats going on here?! I'm dying to see this finish up!

So this was a troll then? Well you got me you fucken got me. Anyone else have the power to do a project like this?
ok soooo im not sure if any1 still goes on this site but is this mod ever gonna be finished and if it is can some1 tell me where to find it.
Yeah people are still on this site and no one knows when or if this is going to finish. We haven't heard from oogaboogabooga since August. Let's just be patient, hope for the best, and keep this thread alive.
Alright thanks and do u no any good mods to use while i wait for this one

Even though this would have been a revolutionary mod defining the only true FABLE Game, it has been 5 months since his last post and we have yet to see any progress or updates. So in conclusion sadly ,this mod is more than likely probably dead .
NOOOOOOOOO THIS CANNOT BE SO!!!
See, if I would totally pick this up and finish it if I could, but I wouldn't have all of the resources OogaBoogaBooga did/does. Let's just hope he's not dead because that would be... very... awkward. Keep this thread active. Keep up the demand! I've had to leave things hanging as I disappear from the Internet before. It's not fun to deal with. If he does come back, let's make sure he knows we still want to see the beauty that is this remastered edition (I actually thought about doing one myself, then I stumbled across this thread). I'm interested to see how this would turn out. Any major things I would do with Fable would involve completely gutting the game and putting it back together the way I want it. I think there would even be some legal controversy over whether or not it's a modification or a fan game using stolen models and meshes.
Thank you for answering my prayer's Elthemor First things first. Make your own thread, this is going to to be your mod remember? (with inspiration from OogaBooga) Second you say you don't have the resources, welp time to get creative and start contacting people on the forums just like OogaBooga did Oh yeah and if your really doing this well shit, thanks
pachinko wrote on Fri, 25 January 2013 00:48 Thank you for answering my prayer's Elthemor Not quite yet, don't get too excited. This would be a lot of work, after all, gutting the game like that. A lot of the stuff that people say is impossible not because it's impossible but it would be too much work for such little demand is all the stuff that I dream of in a Fable mod. So I guess if anyone's going to do the dirty work, it'll be me. Better learn some more advanced stuff, then.... pachinko wrote on Fri, 25 January 2013 00:48 First things first. Make your own thread, this is going to to be your mod remember? (with inspiration from OogaBooga) Once I make significant progress, sure. Life kind of brings a tight schedule right now, so I don't want to say, "Hey, all! Look what I'm doing!" Then hardly get anything done the first few months. Essentially, if I cannot provide quality screenshots, no one will care. pachinko wrote on Fri, 25 January 2013 00:48 Second you say you don't have the resources, welp time to get creative and start contacting people on the forums just like OogaBooga did I do have my own little group of game designers, although I'm pretty sure their interested more in original design then mods, and I don't think any of them are experienced Fable modders. I'd definitely have to poke around here to find people. (If only I was around 5 years ago when all the hustle and bustle of the forums was going on....) pachinko wrote on Fri, 25 January 2013 00:48 Oh yeah and if your really doing this well shit, thanks Again, don't get too excited. In the meantime, let's just hope Ooga comes back. Ooga come back! You can blame it all on me!
I would love to see this finished!
CH3WYYY wrote on Mon, 04 February 2013 06:16 I would love to see this finished! Don't we all? Personally, I just hope nothing strange has happened to him. Otherwise, Ooga may as well be the Fable modding community's Steve Burns. "He's dead." "He's in jail." "He quit Blue's Clues, er, Fable: TLC Anniversary. Or something like that."
I think I'm posting to the person doing the mod. If not sorry. Is the mod finished? I found this recently, but I see no update since last year.
He's gone. He might come back, but for now he's gone.
I know this may be a little late,but i hope it still communicated to the modder or creator of this awesome idea of mod/expansion. I don't know if this was stopped due to lack of motivation, a long hiatus due to other events,but I hope if money is an issue im willing to donate 500$-1000$ to see this mod come to life. Smoothly and with quality. Something enjoyable that will make this small group of fans happy, including myself. Its a small lump but i hope it will help for motivation or maybe a update on the current situation of this mod or something like it. Im willing to pay-pal upon compleition or half than half for quality assurance. FABLE!!
I'm not spamming, this isn't a troll, this isn't a prince from Africa. I just really do love this game and would like to see a nice mod. If that is some sort of spamming I apologize. The offer still stands though, unless this is a form spamming or rude than ignore these last posts by me.
Oh excuse me I just saw a money in huge letters and assumed...
Contact with the creator of this mod has been lost for almost a year. We can hope for his return, but I don't think we'll be hearing from him any time soon.
Elthemor: "He quit Blue's Clues, er, Fable: TLC Anniversary. Or something like that." Lol Oh holy shiz I believe it's a triple post.
~~~~~~-----------------------~~~~~~ !!!!!!T T T TRIPLE POST T T T!!!!!! ~~~~~~-----------------------~~~~~~ But really, this guys is not working on it, so for the mean time I am locking it. If ooga comes back I'll unlock it.
