Production and release
editExcluding time for engine development, Thunder Brigade was developed over the course of 1998. The game's design was supervised by Arnold Hendrick.
While the game released on time and met the requirements of its development agreement; due to an intense development process that required sacrificing gameplay testing in favour of '"ordinary" software design tasks' and financial difficulties within Interactive Magic, the game was considered to have "sold rather poorly" by Bluemoon Interactive.[2]
