Gamedev Girlies celebrates Filipina women who make games
Last May 26, women in the Philippines’ game dev community organized a one-day exhibition event called Gamedev Girlies. Several games were on display, from released projects to upcoming titles. Here are the titles that Virtual SEA got to try!
Pluck and Brew is a puzzle and game management sim that lets you live a life of selling your witchy wares and building a loyal customer base that you’ll get a chance to know better, too!
Lucky You? Bancit Kantunan is a cheeky dating sim that lets you live the unique life of a university student flirting with some sweet and spicy (so to speak) love interests.
Miranda’s Retail Rebellion is another game jam game that lets you tap into your inner mall brat. Mess up shelves, take down displays, and irritate your brown-noser coworker in order to stick it to the man.
Iskrambol Days is just what the doctor ordered for the great Southeast Asian heatwave of 2023. “Iskrambol” is a popular Filipino snack, and the game shows you just how to make the cutest, most colorful servings.
Window Garden is a the coziest of cozy games. Craft your own indoor garden in delightful and sparkly pixel-perfect plants in this pleasant mobile experience.
Talents tangles together the dream of making indie games and the delightful drama surrounding working with eligible bachelors on those projects, all in one dating sim.
Bardic: Quest for Love is a love letter to Dungeons and Dragons in the form of a tavern management sim-slash-visual novel dating sim.
Air Garden allows you to transform a marshy wasteland into a zen garden experience by populating it with plants and encouraging fresh, clean air to thrive.
