Haley put it as - 'I've made the leap' to relay his intentions to quit Peter Molyneux's Lionhead Studios and start his own development studio. Haley was a part-time indie game designer and full-time Lionhead staffer.

Haley had been with Molyneux for a long time going back to the early days of Bullfrog Studios which was Molyneux's pre-Lionhead studio. It gave hit titles that include Magic Carpet, Syndicate Wars, and Dungeon Keeper for gamers.

Healey contributed to the hit Fable and Black & White amongst other titles working with Lionhead Studios.

Anyway, he called his departure from Lionhead 'a very hard decision'.

Wherever he goes and whatever he does, we hope that he continues to develop fabulous games as before and continue to keep gamers entertained.

Best of luck Mark!
