Lessons Learned after the development of Tiberian Sun
I found an interesting article, interviewing a number of Westwood Studios employees, after Command and Conquer 2:Tiberian Sun was finished. Gamasutra.com had a really old article way back in 2000, detailing the production of the game and how much it created frustration and screaming by various programmers and such. Some of the features that the article mentioned include: One of the times we tried to change the rules was when harvester threat-avoidance logic was introduced. I remember hearing
Command and Conquer:Generals originally has an African tribal side??
Yes, you read this right. I’m going to write about another Command and Conquer universe, the Generals series. What was unique during the production of Generals was the fact that it has gone through significant changes during pre-production and mid-production. Generals was originally conceived to include three sides: the Americans, the Khan tribe, and the African war tribe. Details of why the African war tribe was eliminated in favour of the GLA side is unknown, but the production of the game g
How are the former Westwood Studios employees doing?
As some people know, Petroglyph Games consisted of a number of former Westwood Studios employees. Some of the major people include Joseph Bostic (main programmer of the C&C series), Frank Klepacki (now Sound Designer/Composer), Steve Tall, Theodore A. Morris, Elie Arabian, and many others. Adam Isgreen, meanwhile, used to work with both Westwood Studios and Petroglyph Games but he recently resigned from Petroglyph on March 2008. He has a blog at http://obscured-view.com/.

Westwood Studios (1985-2003) was a computer and video game developer, founded in 1985 as Westwood Associates by Brett Sperry and Louis Castle and based in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The company's first projects consisted of contract work for companies like Epyx and Strategic Simulations (SSI), porting 8-bit titles to 16-bit systems like Commodore Amiga and Atari ST. Proceeds from contract work allowed the company to expand into designing its own games in-house. Their first original title was Mars Saga, a game developed for Electronic Arts and released in 1988. One of the company's first greater successes was Eye of the Beholder (1990), a real-time computer role-playing game based on the Dungeons & Dragons license, developed for SSI. Other publishers of early Westwood games included Infocom and Disney.
In 1992, the company was renamed Westwood Studios and sold to Virgin Interactive. Well-known Westwood titles from this period include Dune II, the adventure game The Legend of Kyrandia and the role-playing game Lands of Lore. Westwood's greatest commercial success came in 1995, with the release of the real-time strategy game Command & Conquer. Building on the gameplay and interface ideas of Dune II, it added pre-rendered 3D graphics for gameplay sprites and video cinematics, an alternative pop\rock soundtrack with techno elements streamed from disk, and modem play. Command & Conquer, Kyrandia, and Lands of Lore all spawned multiple sequels.
In August 1998, Westwood was acquired by Electronic Arts (EA) for $122.5 million in cash, and at the time Westwood had 5% to 6% of the PC game market.. In response to what was perceived as an unwillingness to maintain the Westwood brand and independence from EA, many long-time employees quit over the next few years.
Along with Westwood, EA had also acquired a development studio in Irvine, California. It was managed by Westwood and became known as Westwood Pacific (later EA Pacific). Westwood Pacific developed or co-developed games like Nox and the Command & Conquer sequel Red Alert 2.
One of the last games released by Westwood, Command & Conquer: Renegade (an action game which mixed elements from first-person shooters and real-time strategy games) failed to meet consumer expectations and commercial goals Westwood and EA had set for it. In March of 2003, Westwood Studios (along with EA Pacific) was liquidated by EA and all willing staff were assimilated into EA Los Angeles. At the time of its closure, Westwood employed more than 100 people. Their last game was the MMORPG Earth & Beyond.
Some time after the closing of Westwood Studios, a new game studio, Petroglyph, was formed consisting mainly of former Westwood employees.
