Arcade 11 presents games and playful media made by members of the Technoculture, Art, and Games (TAG) Research Centre at Concordia University. As part of the 2019 event, Mariko MacDonald and Michael Iantorno hosted interviews with various game developers, makers, and playtesters. Maize Longboat is a graduate research assistant with the Initiative for Indigenous Futures (IIF) and a student in Concordia University’s Media Studies program. He spoke with us about the “creation” half of his research-creation thesis, Terra Nova: a cooperative platformer game that takes place in the distant future, after some humans left their home to colonize another planet.
