We have been on RTL-TVI last week (15 September) on the popular French TV-show, "Tout s'explique"!

Footage can be found at the following link: http://www.rtltvi.be/emission/tout-s-explique/7.aspx

They filmed at our offices a couple of months ago when we were still busy preparing for GamesCom, and Dragon Commander still looked like a game from the nineties

That's interesting.

Now if only i could understand what they are talking about....

What software does Ian use for story ? Can it be downloaded somewhere ?

It's our own internal dialog editor.

It beeing internal software, I guess you can't disclose it, but can you somewhat describe the main features ?
I am a P&P RPG game master (is that the right term ?) and I'm thinking I could write some programm that would describe a scenario (with main "paths"), and some of the dialogs.

It's basically a dialog tree editor which allows you to easily set up dialog flows, flag what conditions there are for showing a certain dialog node and allows you to execute certain actions per dialog node. For each dialog node, there's a whole bunch of things you can do like set up the animations, camera movements, audio, lipsynch etc... in an adobe premiere like fashion (i.e. you have multiple timelines on which you can trigger specific events that control certain aspects of the scene being shown)

Thanks you.
