Development
Avencast began as a hobby project to create a Diablo clone that incorporated elements of other popular past games. It was Clockstone's first game release and took about four years to complete. The game was completed with a relatively small team - Clockstone's CEO wrote the majority of the game engine himself in C++. Clockstone team members had little or no formal education in game development field.
Since the release of Avencast, Clockstone has released the development tools, allowing fans to build levels or modify the game content.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“Understanding child development takes the emphasis away from the child’s character—looking at the child as good or bad. The emphasis is put on behavior as communication. Discipline is thus seen as problem-solving. The child is helped to learn a more acceptable manner of communication.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“As long as fathers rule but do not nurture, as long as mothers nurture but do not rule, the conditions favoring the development of father-daughter incest will prevail.”
—Judith Lewis Herman (b. 1942)
“Somehow we have been taught to believe that the experiences of girls and women are not important in the study and understanding of human behavior. If we know men, then we know all of humankind. These prevalent cultural attitudes totally deny the uniqueness of the female experience, limiting the development of girls and women and depriving a needy world of the gifts, talents, and resources our daughters have to offer.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
