Development
The Iron Tower Studio team started work on the game in March 2004. The team is developing for Microsoft Windows using the Torque Game Engine. They plan to port the game to OS X and Linux, which Torque 3D also supports, unless they "run into serious problems with Torque".
Software releases began with a combat demo in December 2009. Two later releases of the combat demo fixed bugs and addressed issues like game balance.
In March 2012, Iron Tower Studios released a public beta (version 0.8.6) of the game which is feature-complete except for Alchemy but only has one town.
In January 2013, Valve Corporation announced that Age of Decadence had been selected for advancement through the Steam Greenlight program.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“I do seriously believe that if we can measure among the States the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share. It destroyed an institution that was their destruction. It opened the way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it and face the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our States.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“The proper aim of education is to promote significant learning. Significant learning entails development. Development means successively asking broader and deeper questions of the relationship between oneself and the world. This is as true for first graders as graduate students, for fledging artists as graying accountants.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
“For the child whose impulsiveness is indulged, who retains his primitive-discharge mechanisms, is not only an ill-behaved child but a child whose intellectual development is slowed down. No matter how well he is endowed intellectually, if direct action and immediate gratification are the guiding principles of his behavior, there will be less incentive to develop the higher mental processes, to reason, to employ the imagination creatively. . . .”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
