Simon Carter, co-founder of Lionhead satellite studio Big Blue Box and lead technical director on the Fable series, has left Lionhead to found a new team focusing on digitally distributed titles for consoles and PC. He will begin the new venture with his brother, Dene Carter, who is also a developer (http://fluttermind-dene.blogspot.com/).
Carter said the decision to leave Lionhead was a "very difficult one," but there are "lots of new opportunities to pursue." Carter worked in the long shadow of Peter Molyneux (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/peter-molyneux) for ten years, having also held roles as technical lead on Dungeon Keeper and part of the Bullfrog Productions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullfrog_Productions) team.
Maybe we can internalize Carter's next game as some form of technical reparation for Fable 3 (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/17/fable-3-combat-lead-gets-combative-about-games-reception/2#comments)
