Production
When development began on Metal Black, it was originally planned as Darius III, where Proco and Tiat would return from Sol after the events of Darius II, only to find Darius horribly ravaged by the Belser Army. Taito, however, ultimately decided that this was too bleak a scenario for the Darius series, and so gave Metal Black its own setting. Vestiges of the game's time as a Darius title still persist in a select few marine-themed enemies (e.g. sunfish-shaped ships, Feeder's similarity to a giant rattail, diatom-like enemies in the fourth stage, the giant Opabinia that supports and powers Daio-to-Gishiin at the end of the third stage, the aircraft carrier-bearing hermit crab in the middle of the first stage).

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“The problem of culture is seldom grasped correctly. The goal of a culture is not the greatest possible happiness of a people, nor is it the unhindered development of all their talents; instead, culture shows itself in the correct proportion of these developments. Its aim points beyond earthly happiness: the production of great works is the aim of culture.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
“... if the production of any commodity necessitates the sacrifice of human life, society should do without that commodity, but it can not do without that life.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
