Wing Commander Prophecy Sales Pitch (September 10, 2011)

[Bandit LOAF]

After seeing the interest in his Wing Commander IV sketches, former Origin developer Chris ?Binky" Launius was kind enough to photograph an extremely cool 40-page Wing Commander Prophecy promotional booklet. This was done early in the project and hasn't been seen by fans before! Bonus: his copy is signed by Tom Wilson!

It looks like Vision was originally called ACE?

 

[Bandit LOAF]

Yup! Billy told us a story about locking everyone in a room and telling them they couldn't leave until someone came up with a better name for the engine. Someone said Vision and they got to go home.

 

[Wedge009]

Haven't heard that story before! Crazy guys. (In a good way.)

By the way, if we can ever get a day without news news, we have a followup to this story with a HUGE clean PDF of this booklet to run.

Oh, that would be wonderful. I can read the photos... but a 'proper' document would be even better.
