Archive

The archive preserves what surrounds the game: its history, the people who made it, and what the original client still carries but never used.

In the archive

• The cutting room floor: dormant vehicles, editor and debugging paths, unused assets and ignored fields in the original Wulfram II client.
• The 1998 developer interview: the Wulfram team on how the first game was built, its design ideas and their plans.
