Development
Blast Corps was worked on by no more than 7 developers at any one time, developed mainly by 4 recent graduates including Martin Wakeley (later Free Radical) as lead designer.
The initial concept was to create a game that required the player to destroy buildings; this concept developed out into the 'constantly moving object' mechanic in order to give the player a reason to destroy buildings.
The gameplay mechanics were reverse-engineered to create a group of characters.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“America is a country that seems forever to be toddler or teenager, at those two stages of human development characterized by conflict between autonomy and security.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Information about child development enhances parents’ capacity to respond appropriately to their children. Informed parents are better equipped to problem-solve, more confident of their decisions, and more likely to respond sensitively to their children’s developmental needs.”
—L. P. Wandersman (20th century)
“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)
