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:
“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)
“I can see ... only one safe rule for the historian: that he should recognize in the development of human destinies the play of the contingent and the unforeseen.”
—H.A.L. (Herbert Albert Laurens)
“A defective voice will always preclude an artist from achieving the complete development of his art, however intelligent he may be.... The voice is an instrument which the artist must learn to use with suppleness and sureness, as if it were a limb.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
