The Grasscutter, he knows who I am. I am the Nightrider! I am the chosen one. The mighty hand of vengeance, sent down to strike the unroadworthy! I'm hotter than a rollin' dice. Step right up, chum, and watch the kid lay down a rubber road, right to FREEDOM!

Thanks, tweeted!

Good to see The Extra Mile enjoyed the mods, tweeted that!

His bike riding skills need work though, poor 125 of mine

The Extra Mile tries LFS in VR.

Damn, this is perfection. So useless yet so immersive, I love it

Not LFS, exactly, but Scawen and Eric was mentioned (and praised!) in this documentary about Black & White! 👍

Quite a funny story of how Scawen got the job! @Scawen, is it true? 😂

That's brilliant. I want to play it now

Funny how if you look closely at the game editor at 6:00, it look really close to the original theme of LFS UI

Woah, I didn't realize that at first. But yeah, it most certainly does!





I'm sure you can find menus in LFS that resembles B&W even more closely. Autocross editor, perhaps?

Thanks for the link! I watched it with the family yesterday evening. Interesting to see how Peter has changed. Well, I remember I was in my late 20s when we all went to his 40th birthday party, and now I'm 50, so he must be in his 60s now.

Nice that Eric and I were kindly mentioned.

That story about how we met isn't quite true though it's based on facts. That's kind of what Peter does.

In fact I did work as a motorbike courier for a company called Black & White that was based in Twickenham. But I was looking for a job as a programmer (I had previously worked at a company called Digital Integration, on the Hind helicopter simulator) so I contacted a recruitment agency that specialised in game jobs. Quite quickly they came up with this interview, with someone who I would surely admire (Peter Molyneux). Actually I hadn't even heard of him before but went for the interview as it sounded good. I rode down on my bike and had a good meeting there, in which we of course talked about my job at Black & White, which was funny as the interview was about working on the game called Black & White.

I had a nice demo (with an animated car and some people and dogs that could walk around on a lumpy landscape - actually it's the same program that evolved into LFS) so they were able to offer me the job on the spot. I said, thanks and I'll consider it. But he looked a bit shocked and said, why aren't you accepting the job now? I said, well I thought that it was the right thing to do... and actually I decided to just accept it then anyway. That was the right move as it was a very good job in the end although there were ups and downs.

We got it running a few years ago, using a boxed game and the fan patches you can find online. Leo and Nicole enjoyed it quite a bit.

How about this attached picture from the video, you can see a creature editor I built in game, using my own buttons system that I had imported into Black and White.

Compare that with the attached image of the vehicle editor.

The early LFS in-game menu style was more inspired by Quake 3 Arena.

Wow that's a nice blast from the past!
I played Black & White back then. It was extremely special. Don't remember if I finished I think I got bored to be God at some point.
Anyway nice video and feedback from the "bloke" ;-)

A Youtuber from Tunisia called Wazzup with over 40k subscribers decided to give LFS a try.. Whoever is still in doubt, should buy it for sure.
