The developers of the Russian real-time strategy game Broken Arrow shared the origin story of one of the tracks. As it turned out, it all began with a small bug discovered during testing.
The repetition of the same phrase in Broken Arrow and the subsequent community reaction inspired the creation of a track titled “What Are You Doing Commander”:
“The story goes: During the first beta, we had a script bug where every few minutes a general would shout at the player: "What are you doing commander? Focus on your objective!" [What are you doing, commander? Focus on your objective!]. This quickly became a meme in the community. Due to the popularity of the joke, the idea was born to create such a cool techno track!
That is how accidents can lead to creativity that will warm and delight the gaming community!”.
The release of Broken Arrow is scheduled for June 19; you can add the game to your Steam wishlist at the following link.
