-> Written by Ernest W. Adams -> In August of 1999, I was brought from EA headquarters in Redwood City, California to Bullfrog Productions in Guildford, England, to be the lead designer on the next game in the Populous series. (EA had already purchased Bullfrog at that time, and Peter Molyneux had left to found Lionhead.) Populous: The Beginning had been something of a disappointment (financially) and a Bullfrog team had worked on a sequel for a while without getting very far. I came to start over and provide some new blood. We called the project Genesis: The Hand of God, and did some great prototype work on it for several months. Unfortunately, Lionhead was hard at work on Black and White at the time, which EA was going to publish.
