STUDENT OUTPUTS
Sinagtala
Sinagtala is a 2.5D historical RPG built in Unreal Engine, created as a gamified retelling of key moments from the Philippine Revolution. The game places a strong focus on the Katipunan (KKK) and the life, struggles, and legacy of Andres Bonifacio.
Numnum World
NumNumWorld was the game that we made for one of our projects, where we were tasked to address an emergent problem. We wanted to tackle the worryingly increasing math aversion of Filipino youth, and what better way to do so than through video games? It’s an endless turn-based “roguelite,” where equations are creatively presented as enemies. Get high scores and prove your mathematical acumen!
Math-Teroids
Math-Teroids is a 2D pixel-art arcade shooter where your keyboard is your controller and mental math is your ammo. Asteroids are hurtling toward Earth. Each asteroid carries a mathematical equation. To lock on and fire a homing missile, you must calculate the correct answer.
Maharuyong Hardin
“Maharuyong Hardin” is a cooking/farming simulation that is set in the Philippines. It will mostly take inspiration from the various endangered species that are native to the country (playable characters or “pets”), and the various dishes that the players will “cook”. This will serve as an educational game for both kids and adults to enjoy as the players immerse themselves in the world of colorful dishes and unfamiliar creatures.
Philifins
PhiliFins is a 3D educational fishing game designed to promote both literacy and environmental awareness among its players, particularly students. By integrating spelling mechanics into the fishing process, the game encourages players to improve their language skills interactively.
