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.
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 ^^

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!

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

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

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.

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!

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.

Also, from what I've seen you need to name something pachinko
