With the help of the CCP grant, these three games have highlighted different aspects of Filipino culture for the appreciation of a new generation of gamers.
Katakata Creatives’ “Kata” is a platforming adventure game that features different quirky characters, breathtaking locations, and traditional music all inspired by Filipino culture and arts. Players will help rebuild Kata’s bahay kubo and climb to the top of the Narra tree all the while partaking in different Filipino traditions.
He adds, “We are aiming to be an educational aid; if we can pull this off correctly then our game might be presented to students for years to come. And that really motivates us to do our best.” “Our game fuses Amorsolo’s artworks with a modern medium. We hope that this combination would entice art enthusiasts, gamers, or anyone interested in Filipino art, culture, and anthropology to play our game, regardless of their age. We have learned so much about other cultures in the games that we play, what’s stopping us from putting our own culture in the same space?” said Limbaga.
Though the game has a very straightforward aspect, trade and earn money, the research and development behind the game had been the opposite. Besides the trading aspect, Pearls of Asia also highlights the unsung heroes of Filipino history. In the game, players would choose a Filipino hero, each with an individual strength in trading, to help them in their trading. It was a conscious decision from the team to make sure the chosen figures in their game were not ones one would expect.
