I found the abstract of the chapter of a book online that apparently mentions the AGS interface. Leaving here in case someone wants to read it.

https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-05214-9_11

The book is named The Authoring Problem, and the chapter in question is named Mapping the Unmappable: Reimagining Visual Representations of Interactive Narrative (doi 10.1007/978-3-031-05214-9_11)

Unfortunately there's something wrong with my institutional access, so I haven't been able to read it yet.

Edit: Being onsite my access to springer normalized. There's not much in the article, AGS is in a context of other text based narrative development software, so in this context it's interface is much more visual - as others (Twine, Inform7 and Storyspace 3) focus more on text.

This article gave me an idea for a simple tool that naively grabs all player.ChangeRoom in the room scripts, notes down the script room number and the destination room, and then produces a small graph of the rooms and their connections. While I have my guesses to do this in either python, R or JS, I am not sure if there are useful graphing libraries in C# so it could be cooked up as an Editor plugin, which is more elegant.

(of course change rooms in the global script and other non-room scripts would be missed, but I guess this would still have a little use to check your story development)
