Development History / Background:
Maguss was developed and published by the Maguss Development Team, a small group of passionate game developers who have been working on the project since July 2014. A Kickstarter campaign was launched on August 4, 2015 with a goal of 450,000 kr, roughly $51,000 USD, and failed to meet its funding goal with only 206,710 kr pledged. The game initially required players to purchase a Maguss Wand that allowed them to cast spells. After the lackluster reception on Kickstarter, the developers continued to work on the game and polish its vision, deciding to make the game available to players who did not purchase the game's Bluetooth wand. The game was once again launched on a crowdfunding platform, this time on Indiegogo beginning on October 10, 2016 with a fixed goal of $50,000 USD. The game launched on the Android platform on March 15, 2019 and on iOS soon after. The game was shut down on April 06, 2020.
