Magic & Magnums

Development
Magic & Magnums was originally intended to be a quick re-skin of the previously released game Suitor Shooter, and was developed in just three weeks for a ComicCon event using the Stargate SG-1 property from a friend who owned a license to the IP. The game was planned to be called Stargate Gunship.

A few months after completing it, Intel funded another version of the game that utilized Intel's Perceptual Computing (later rebranded "RealSense") technology to make it playable purely with motion, voice, and touch controls for Intel's Ultimate Coder Challenge: Going Perceptual competition. Code-Monkeys was never given the legal o.k. to release the game on the App Store, so instead the game kept getting updated in small ways, having new elements added to it, getting used for the aforementioned competitions and winning awards, over the next two years. The game was ultimately refactored into Magic & Magnums by swapping out art assets and tweaking certain features.
