MAYG

MAYG (My Angry Yakuza Girlfriend) is a turn-based third-person shooter game developed by Peeking Duck Studios, blending traditional gaming mechanics with Web3 technology. The game features a unique narrative centered on Miki-San, a Yakuza heiress, and incorporates NFTs and an open economy to enhance player engagement. Players can participate without owning NFTs, but holders of MAYG NFTs gain additional benefits such as premium account status and access to exclusive matches. The game is designed to appeal especially to competitive female gamers, offering a strategic and social gameplay experience that balances skill and cooperation.

The gameplay is inspired by the classic turn-based game Worms, with players taking turns to use various weapons with distinct mechanics and effects. Matches are winner-take-all deathmatches with 3 to 5 players, emphasizing positioning, alliances, and tactical decision-making. The game supports voice chat and offers controller support, with plans for Mac optimization and a mobile lite version as a player acquisition funnel. MAYG’s open economy allows players to use tokens won in matches to enter higher-stakes games, integrating blockchain assets directly into the competitive loop.

MAYG is distributed via its own launcher to handle blockchain interactions securely, avoiding traditional platforms like Steam due to their restrictions on NFT games. The game is code-signed by Digicert, ensuring software integrity and safety. Developers and players can get started by downloading the launcher, creating an account with either a social login or NFT wallet verification, and joining scheduled playtest sessions. Comprehensive documentation and an active Discord community support onboarding and ongoing engagement.
