Tali Faulkner is a Maori game developer behind Umurangi Generation, a semi-realistic photography game set in an apocalyptic future with mechs, an occupational United Nations, and the looming threat of the end of the world. The game recently won the top prize at the Freeplay Independent Games Festival. We talk to Tali about making politics explicit in games, and what it means to be part of the last generation. Hosted by Phillip Russell and Ben Thorp
