[Early Access] Black & White - Greatest Hits

Hey Early Access Patrons,
At long last the next episode of Greatest Hits is here. In this episode we talk to two of the Lionhead Founders about the design of Black & White, and investigate why it's not been available to purchase online for over two decades.
I'm interested on feedback for this one as it's a little light on context for Bullfrog/Lionhead and the gameplay of Black & White than some of our usual videos. I tried to just tell the story we were telling and imply much of the rest within the interviews and gameplay, but it may or may not work if you never played Black & White. So as ever, I'd love to hear what you think.
It'll be going live next week, so please enjoy your early access weekend window.
Danny

2022-10-17 00:07:56 +0000 UTCI remember how my friend got his parents (clueless about games) to buy him B&W for what was a ridiculously expensive 100 D-Mark (about 52 Euros ๐ ). And although his PC was too slow and the mechanics were clunky, we couldn't get over how great the creatures were. @Danny: I remember it being very buggy right after release, maybe if Peter talked about that it's worth adding to the doc. Given the size of the team it's understandable now, but at the time we were pretty pissed about that, since the hype was so huge. So maybe it would add a little more context to the whole "production circumstances" segment. Just a thought.

2022-10-16 17:27:56 +0000 UTCAmazing work again! I really like the concise feel of the doc that comes from not explaining too much. But on the other hand, I know Black & White. I can't tell if people are confused about the nature of the game... it does not feel like it. Here are some minor points: * I don't like the transition from music to intro sequence at 1:16. Maybe the background music should fade out at around 1:10? * Seeing Mark Webleys green screen for so long is strange. Maybe there is a background from the new studio to use? * At 3:28 there are some mumbling sounds in the background. Could be Molyneuxs audio track at the office. Could be something else. * As a member of the production team, it's a bit weird to hear that Black & White is always omitted from the discussions about the greatest games of the early 2000s. We did not forget. We voted for it. * I think it's the wrong list of patreons, missing the 'production team' tier.
