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:
“I’ve always been impressed by the different paths babies take in their physical development on the way to walking. It’s rare to see a behavior that starts out with such wide natural variation, yet becomes so uniform after only a few months.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Every new development for the last three centuries has brought men closer to a state of affairs in which absolutely nothing would be recognized in the whole world as possessing a claim to obedience except the authority of the State. The majority of people in Europe obey nothing else.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“Theories of child development and guidelines for parents are not cast in stone. They are constantly changing and adapting to new information and new pressures. There is no “right” way, just as there are no magic incantations that will always painlessly resolve a child’s problems.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
