Our First Shooter Prototype

The Magic Planet team is building a shooter! It's set on the ocean, which seemed like a logical choice for a shooter's setting since outer space isn't spherical.

It's toroidal. Everybody knows that, right? We'll let the Magic Donut team take care of that one.

Anyway, our game is based on real nautical battles that have occurred in the Earth's history. Take a look:

Here, the player's ship follows a giant enemy prawn, about to shoot its collision sphere for normal damage.

Here, another giant enemy prawn prepares to strike the North Pole. You may remember this from your history classes, assuming your teachers got all the way through the real history and had time to teach you the imaginary stuff.

We're hard at work on this one, so expect to see more soon. We're also getting a 3-foot Magic Planet soon, to replace our 2-foot one, so expect it to get bigger, too.
