Kyoto isn't necessarily the place you'd expect to see games like Guardian Maia, but we're so glad we did. gameshub.com/news/features/…

Replace a word in a video game title with “dad” Dads of the old Republic

So @GuardianMaia was hands down my favourite game at #PAXAus. I get to play a badass, thick-thighed warrior woman and ride a moa who can kick down enemies as I journey through lush NZ scenery?! Horizon Zero Dawn meets Red Dead with indigenous excellence. Give me more now thnx




Damn that’s crazy. Anyways check out @GuardianMaia. It’s a Māori videogame with a Māori director with Māori games devs like myself who collaborate with actual Ta Moko Artists to apply Moko to our characters in a way that actually relates to their whakapapa. Very chur stuff 😤
