The Movies: a true machinima!

For starters, Peter Molyneux is one of the most prominent figure in the gaming industry today. He's a game creator. He makes games. He has not only done game programming, but also designing and supporting a couple of games as of lately. The most recent game which has his name in it is the Xbox rpg Fable. Tho...it's the PC game Black & White dat i remember him for. and then the classic, Populous way back in 1989. I urge you to chekout ma fren Siva's Peter Molyneux blog. He's soo into Peter rite now...(just kid kay Siva? hehe!)

His latest upcoming game, the Movies is one to look out for. In dat game u'll be managing a movie studio and set it up for shooting. Design your very own studio sets, put up props, assign workmen, prepare costumes and cast actors and actresses! Pick ur theme, create storylines, position ur cameramen and lightman for dat perfect angle and until u know it u're shouting camera! roll! ACTION!

Now isn't this Machinima? Ur making a movie and it's all done in the game itself because the game is really about making movies(?). Why yes it is! Albeit it's machinima maker at your disposal and with intuitive interface all set! It's easy in the sense that you can control the character and order them to do things, a lot like it is with the Sims2 machinima.

There's bound to be machinima about once this game comes out. Not just for people to download and enjoy but it's a really good way to publicise ur game rite? haha sure la. Fancy looking at the game itself? Head on to the game's website for picturesque screenshots! w00t!
