Hello and welcome to Maki: Paw of Fury’s first devlog!
As we’re all waiting for the game’s release we’ve prepared something juicy together with the developers of Maki - Bacord Games!
Have you ever wondered where the idea of Maki came from? What is the world our fluffy friends live in? You can get to know them better right here, right now 🥊
Without further ado - welcome to the World of Maki known as the continent of Pangea!
First off - inspirations. Those who’ve played beat ‘em ups, old arcade games, or who were around in the 80s and 90s will feel Maki: The Paw of Fury’s inspiration in their bones. The most honorable mentions when it comes to inspiration are games like Final Fight, Streets of Rage, and Vendetta, as well as shows like Dragon Ball. Even though the developers added a different personal touch to the style of the game, the fluffy martial artists put fear in the hearts of their enemies just the same!
A lot of the in-world and in-game places and all names are references to Argentine humor or something native to the country of Bacord Games. From Pancakes (in Argentina it would be PANKUKAS) to ALTALLANTA - there are many inside jokes that you can expect to find!
As for the continent of Pangea - its history is full of controversy!
Some historians claim that millions of years ago, the world had three big landmasses separated by oceans. A highly advanced civilization that diverged from apes was governing over them - the enigmatic humans. But those who live on Pangea prefer to think that their world exists with not much care for its history. Living in the moment!
The leading historian in this case - Mr. Marmoto Henkins, doesn’t care about popular opinion and stays all day on Techno Island. There, he continues his research in peace, away from prying eyes.
As he works, the world of Pangea evolves, and the shadow of the biggest company on the continent grows… something smells fishy here.
And in the middle of this, we have our characters - they're well-known on Pangea either for their brawn, beauty, or for their brains 🧠
Their adventure across Pangea starts with Maki and Mapu. Before the events of the game, they were good friends - fans of Famicon games and human movies. One afternoon, Mapu brings Maki a mysterious videotape labeled T2 and tells the fox about a secret that will change the world if they don’t act quickly. Maki prefers playing on his Famicon to saving the world… at least for now.
At the end of every devlog we’ll be putting down the bio of a Maki: Paw of Fury character - this time, you can get a glimpse at Maki and Mapu!
Maki Kitsume
Little is known about his past. A long time ago he was found on the side of a road by Kami - one of the most well-known influencers in Pangea. Since then they’ve become the best of friends!
Not too long after he met Mapu and the two spent time together playing games and watching movies.
Maki liked his peaceful life and refused to move - until one faithful day Mapu kidnaps Kami and this is where Maki: Paw of Fury starts!
Fun fact: Maki would eat anything, but he hates vegetables. His favorite food weapon is tuna.
Mapu Concollore
A naturalist with a big brain. He might be foul-mouthed but has a heart of gold. He grew up in the forest with his herd and befriended Maki when they were little.
He works at the biggest store chain on Pangea COSO.CO and is the right hand of its leader DOCTOR COSO.
He is obsessed with something called T2 and wants to save the world of Pangea… but his friends a not as eager!
Fun fact: Mapu is vegan - guess his heart of gold can’t allow him to touch even the tastiest of fish!
