The team of heroes had an ambitious goal: They wanted to launch their new game within three years, which is a pretty short video game development time in the gaming industry. Like the team behind Pixar, the heads at KingsIsle wanted to create a world that would be engaging and safe for children, but still interesting and challenging for adults. Turns out Pixar’s model played into the inspiration behind Wizard101. In addition, the chat feature within the game is filtered to be safe for players of all ages. Quests in most MMOs are filled with violent battles and weapons that are not appropriate for children, so the creators wanted to come up with a game that was suitable for the whole family. When the heroes mentioned above came together, they thought about all the other games out there, like World of Warcraft, and realized there were not many games designed for parents and kids to play together.

Wizard101 Wasn’t meant to fit in with other MMOs.Fun fact: our design team still uses this strategy today for designing new mini games! You can see more in this video: They knew that the core of any good game, no matter how amazing the graphics and effects, is that it is fun to play. They scribbled down rules, ideas, and notes about what worked and didn’t. To celebrate our 10 th anniversary, we’re updating and expanding this post to bring you 10 things that you might not know about the creation of Wizard101!īelieve it or not, the premise behind the game didn’t magically appear. The team spent a long time physically playing with a deck of character cards, some dice, and beads that symbolized the power-up and other boosts. In the last KI Live, we brought in some members who have been with the team throughout Wizard101’s development to reminisce about their favorite moments and to reveal some interesting development trivia. Who conjured Merle Ambrose? How did Ravenwood School come to be? What evil genius summoned the diabolical Malistaire and Morganthe? It all began with an idea, but that idea was brought to life by our talented KingsIsle team.

But, the Spiral had to come from somewhere. The Spiral is a magical place with Wizard City at the center of all the worlds that are or could be.
