Indigenous Māori-led studio blending game-based learning with Marketplace content. Won the Ngā Tohu Reo Māori award in 2019. Building Lore, an indigenous Official Featured Server. Known for Skyblock variants and pop-culture-inspired skin packs.
Piki Studios is unlike almost any other creator on the Minecraft Marketplace. Founded on principles rooted in Māori culture -- Kaitiakitanga (caring for the world), Whanaungatanga (caring for people), Mātauranga (understanding the world), and Tinorangatiratanga (understanding ourselves) -- the studio builds on ancestral knowledge to nurture communities through learning and play. Their journey with Minecraft began in 2010, and by 2016 they had joined the Minecraft Education Community as a Mentor.
The core team includes Creative Director Whetu Paitai (who is also an Official Minecraft Mentor), Game Designer Milosz Kulesza, General Manager Mohammad Junaid, and Developer William Savage. Despite the small team, they have built a catalog of 343 products since their first Marketplace release in June 2020. Their content breakdown includes 135 skin packs, 70 worlds, 163 persona items, 4 add-ons, and 4 resource packs.
In 2019, Piki Studios released Ngā Motu, a world celebrating Māori culture, and won the prestigious Ngā Tohu Reo Māori award for their work promoting the Māori language through gaming. That same year they became an Official Minecraft Partner. They have since been working with Mojang to develop protections for indigenous intellectual property within the Marketplace ecosystem -- a unique and important contribution to the platform's governance.
Their most ambitious project is Lore, an indigenous Official Featured Server currently in development. If completed, it would be the first Featured Server built around indigenous cultural themes, representing a significant milestone for both the Minecraft server ecosystem and indigenous representation in gaming.
On the commercial side, Piki Studios has generated an estimated $2.75M+ in Minecoins across their catalog. Their top products include Spider VS Venom (4.6 stars, 3,094 ratings), Mega Lucky Skyblocks (4.4 stars, 1,887 ratings), Skyblock 100 Days (4.4 stars, 1,786 ratings), and Pets (4.5 stars, 1,399 ratings). Their skin packs average 4.49 stars, and their worlds average 4.25 stars.
