Making the Game: Gameflow Conversation Tracking (June 22, 2009)

[Bandit LOAF]

'Gameflow', at least in Wing Commander development, refers to the 'aboard ship' portions of the game -- where you travel around, click on movies, interact with menus and so forth. This document explains how the game handles those shipboard images -- how it knows what to display at what time (ie, Maniac in the background inviting the player for a cutscene versus an empty room).

These updates are thanks to John "Captain Johnny" Guentzel, who provided several CD image archives of material used by the Wing Commander Prophecy development team!

Just letting you know the link leads to the good old 404 code.

Game flow is something that's almost taken for granted. I wouldn't mind seeing some more on its development.

Thanks. The extension should have been all caps.

Got it. Thank you.
