ILC and the LucasArts Entertainment Co. worked together from early through mid 1995 to develope a World Wide Web server. This server includes
areas devoted to LucasArt's product catalog, Human Resources department, Technical Support, and The Adventurer -- LucasArts' quarterly magazine.
ILC developed this server and was a participant in every step in creating it from the initial planning to final installation. The server is made searchable with a combination of FreeWAIS-sf 1.1 and a program created by ILC and
Brian Wilson, Brian Gate,
which allows users to run Wais searches through a web form.
The content of the server is generated by a program codeveloped by ILC and Bonsai Software called Webgen.
WebGen takes a database merge file and from that file generates corresponding static HTML files -- this set of files includes many level of index pages. WebGen makes creating and updating large websites very simple requiring simply that one updates
the database and run WebGen.
Some things to watch out for in the LucasArts website:
- Editorial content from The Adventurer -- LucasArts' quarterly magazine
- Product Catalog
- Downloadable binaries -- game upgrades, demos, and patches
- Comprehensive indexes for easy browsing
- WAIS-based searching if your looking for something specific
- Cross-linking from one section of the server to the next
- Special offers index
- What's new index
