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:

“Ultimately, it is the receiving of the child and hearing what he or she has to say that develops the child’s mind and personhood....
