  • Dinosaur Polo Club, makers of Mini Metro, have unveiled a look at their now cancelled project Magic School
  • The game was set in an aforementioned magic school but few other details are known
  • DPC have released screenshots and concept art of the cancelled game

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I find it both intriguing and disappointing to learn about Dinosaur Polo Club’s cancelled project, Magic School. The concept art and screenshots released offer a tantalizing glimpse into what could have been an enchanting and immersive gaming experience.

There are many reasons why we don’t usually learn about cancelled projects. Developers may choose not to disclose failed projects out of embarrassment or for other confidential reasons. Some projects might not have progressed far beyond the initial planning stage. In the case of Dinosaur Polo Club’s Magic School, however, we know that this project was cancelled because it involved a magical school setting.

1. Below, you’ll find some concept art and screenshots of Magic School – a project different from DPC’s past minimalist simulation games like Mini Metro and Mini Motorways. The idea was to break new ground, but due to its growing complexity and lack of intuitiveness, the project was ultimately cancelled. However, the team members continued working on other tasks.


What could have been

Dinosaur Polo Club made an open revelation about cancelling their game, Magic School. Although it appears to be an engaging title based on the information given, unfortunately, such decisions are common among mobile game developers like Supercell, who have a notable history of abandoned projects.

As a curious gamer, I invite you to feast your eyes on the additional concept art displayed beneath. For a closer look and to explore each piece in depth, feel free to visit the developer’s Artstation page!

Despite the disappointment, it’s regrettable to imagine what could have blossomed into being. The name “Magic School” may have only been a code name, but judging from the concept art of a meticulously designed magical academy, it seemed destined to live up to its name. Moreover, considering the successes of Mini Metro and Mini Motorways, even if Magic School hadn’t lived up to expectations, it would have still left an indelible mark.
