Night Markets
This is MAVERiC Studio’s primary content channel. Our Night Markets are where everything we build goes public and are our flagship content ecosystem.
Each one is a fully produced showcase where XR storytelling, interactive performance, immersive fashion, and alumni-created tools are launched, tested, and sold. Just like a studio has a release slate, our Night Markets are the drops. They are where production meets the audience, portfolio becomes platform, and every student or alumni creator sees their work live in the world.
We don’t just talk about XR, we extend your reality at our pop-ups. Join the play!
The Dragon City Chronicles
Discover a world of Magitek and Wizardry, where high tech detectives go toe to toe with against fantasy gangsters. Our monthly live Actual Play series set in the Shotguns & Sorcery universe. Performed by MAVERiC alumni and students, it combines tabletop storytelling, immersive acting, and XR-enhanced backdrops in an ongoing episodic format. Episodes double as portfolio pieces and apprenticeship hours, offering STUDiO players credits as voice actors, designers, and performers. New characters, maps, and lore debut monthly.
Available in-person or streamed on YouTube.
