DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a programme
 r for one of the world’s leading video game developers?\n\nLionhead Stud
 ios\, part of Microsoft Corporation\, would like to invite you to find out
  more. Please join us for drinks and a 30 minute presentation on Tuesday 9
 th November at 7pm in the Rushmore Room\, St Catharine's College. Lionhead
 ’s Jonathan Shaw – the Lead Game Programmer on Fable III – will be p
 resenting a talk on Fable III. \n\nA game like Fable III is incredibly com
 plex\, with many different gameplay systems all interacting with each othe
 r – for example\, a villager’s opinion of the player is influenced by 
 things ranging from how the player has just interacted with them\, to whet
 her they have set their prices too high at the local shop that they own. A
 dd another player into the mix\, plus the ability to marry any number of d
 ifferent heroes that visit your world\, and things start getting more comp
 licated very quickly. In this talk we will learn about some of the challen
 ges that needed to be overcome when adding full multiplayer into the mix\,
  and how we approached tackling them.\n\nLionhead studios offers a number 
 of programming internships and graduate employment opportunities aimed at 
 the brightest and the best students.\n\nFind out more: www.lionhead.com/st
