Development History
Dark Reign began life as a game called Corporation. Developed by Auran's co founder Greg Lane, Corporation and its sister game entitled Wild West were demonstrated to Activision in June 1996 and a deal signed shortly thereafter. Auran continued development of the Tactics Engine whilst Activision layered a new story on top of Corporation and Dark Reign was born. Many of the units, and the unit AI, map systems, production systems and real time line of sight were already present in Corporation when it was first demonstrated to Activision in 1996.

Famous quotes containing the words development and/or history:
“The experience of a sense of guilt for wrong-doing is necessary for the development of self-control. The guilt feelings will later serve as a warning signal which the child can produce himself when an impulse to repeat the naughty act comes over him. When the child can produce his on warning signals, independent of the actual presence of the adult, he is on the way to developing a conscience.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
