Making the Game - Part 16

The Component Manager Meeting agenda for June 7, 1996 is, as always, an interesting read. One thing that caught my eye was that assets from MCA (including fonts and other artwork) were being sent to EAUK. In more plain English, this means that material created externally for the Wing Commander Academy TV show was being sent to Erin Robert's group in England -- the people who developed Privateer 2 (and later StarLancer). How much work went into an Academy game concept? We know from the Point of Origin scans that EA's separate 'Darklight Conflict' game was also almost converted into one.
