Narrative Logline.
After the Chief is betrayed by allied forces, a young messenger must race through enemy lines to ignite a signal fire warning neighbouring tribes of an insurrection.
Phase 01
Phase 01 is dedicated to building the base mechanics of the game and the contextual environment in which it takes place. By the end of this phase we will have a digital Iwi where NPCs populate an area, work, relax, train and go about their Day/Night cycle. Players can assist in resource gathering, train in combat, play games, craft items and interact with the community.

Combat will be our initial focus in the development of this project. Players will be able to switch back and forth between one of three melee weapon types each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
Unarmed Combat
Short Handled Combat (Patu, Wahaika, Mere etc.)
Long Handled Combat (Taiaha, Pouwhena, Tewhatewha etc.)
Furthermore, each melee type will offer the following mechanics for both attack and defence:
Strikes (Light, Medium, Heavy, Spinning, Haymaker)
Guards (General and perfect)
Parries
Slips/Weaves
A smooth and gratifying combat experience will be delivered in early March 2022 and will conclude this sub-section of Phase 01.
