Lionhead Experiments: "Clay"

Peter Molyneux speaks at the Game Developer's Conference 2009 in "Lionhead Experiments Revealed". This particular video centers on an experiment at Lionhead in which he player could manipulate a white glob called "clay" into different shapes.

Based on the shape of the clay, it would morph into an object most closely related to its shape in the game's database. Though the first result of molding the "clay" by Peter seems to make some sense, his second attempt adds a bit of understanding as to just why the concept didn't take off.

Also, Peter introduces Lionhead's concept of "Portal", though he insists that their rendition came before Valve's. He also makes a note to praise Valve's game to avoid some fire hehe.

Lionhead do a lot of experiments with mechanics and stuff for there games, a lot of things have yet to be used though. Partly because they haven't had many ideas for what to use them for.
