Magicka/Trivia

• One of Us: The developers, in their own words, "speak references". And it shows.
• Throw It In: The source of the wooden horses is from the animator being frustrated by how hard it is to animate quadrupeds, and deciding to just stick in wooden, toy-like horses, not expecting it to stick. Obviously, it did.
  • In Chapter 3, during the airship ride, Vlad needs to leave the ship somehow for the story to make sense. So, they put in Vlad just jumping off the ship as a joke and placeholder. Everyone was so amused by this that it stuck.
• The Wiki Rule: Found here, and the editors are relatively helpful, too.
• Word of God: Quoted directly from a recent interview when asked to reveal something about the game no one knew, "I could perhaps mention that the moose in Vlad’s castle, is actually a whole moose just stuck inside the wall."
  • YouTube commentator/gamer Total Halibut went to Sweden and acquired an entire developer commentary/ Let's Play as the four main developers played through the entire game while commentating and answering questions.
