This forum post announces a developer chance for Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances, the web-based strategy game (thanks CNCNZ.com Forums via Ant). Word is the new developer includes some folks quite familiar with the property:

We are happy to announce that, starting today, Envision Entertainment will partner with Electronic Arts to develop, support and conduct live operations for Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances on EA’s behalf. Who are these guys, you ask? Envision Entertainment is a studio founded in 2013 with the original creators of Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances forming the core of the team. So who else would be more suitable to develop the game further than them?

Electronic Arts will continue to provide billing and account services through its Origin™ service. Envision Entertainment and Electronic Arts will work closely together to ensure a bright future for the game.

So what does this mean for you? We will have exciting updates coming to you very shortly, and going forward introduce a wide new range of fixes, features and more. This will happen with the least impact for you, and while we are not touching any of the existing parts you are already used to, like payment system, support and the terms of service, we will instead be hard working to build a great game.

There are sure to be many questions and we have answered some expected ones in the FAQ here. However, we will certainly be providing more information very soon and maintain our dialogue here going forward. But for now please join us in celebrating this momentous event, and welcome the Envision Entertainment team that will guide Tiberium Alliances into the future with renewed dedication.

Well we finally got caught up with our spring yard cleaning after getting a late start due to the lingering winter. Shockingly, we managed to produce 40 bags of debris from a yard that was almost completely cleared last fall. It just doesn't make sense, but that giant collection of bags isn't lying.
