How a meme of Gandalf holding an AK-47 inspired survival sandbox Wizard with a Gun

“This is pretty much the image that started it,” says Patrick Morgan, whose title is “Business Doer” for Galvanic Games. The picture is of Gandalf holding an AK-47, a meme that inspired Galvanic to name their upcoming co-op survival sandbox “Wizard with a Gun.”

A meme of Gandalf packing heat isn’t the very start of it, though. Galvanic (back in 2016 it there were just four of them) had been playing a lot of Klei’s Don’t Starve Together, and were kicking around the idea of a game about “gritty, western-style wizard gunslingers whose bullets came out in the form of spells,” says Morgan. Another meme they enjoyed showed Harry Potter shooting Voldemort with a handgun.
