Game development has come a long way. No longer just an arena for the big players, it is now accessible to small businesses and even individuals as app platforms and development engines and assets get more accessible.
The quality of games produced in Asia, be it for PC, mobile, or console, has also been rising. I’m cheered by the thought of never again seeing a badly rendered 3D sheep try to pick words out on a screen while jumping across platforms (this game is from Singapore, if you are wondering).
2015 is sprawling out before us and it’s going to see a ton of great games. Here are some you should take note of in the new year.
Tiny Guardians (Malaysia)
Developed by Kurechii studio, best known for its midcore strategy/management game King’s League: Odyssey, Tiny Guardians is a strategy adventure that plays like a modular tower defense game. You’ll be able to take control of cute little fighters and move them across the map to wherever they are needed. It’s reminiscent of Droidhang’s Pocket Heroes.
Age of Bayintnaung (Myanmar)
Age of Bayintnaung, from Yangon’s Total Gameplay Studio, is really something. While we haven’t been able to see gameplay screenshots, its concept art looks really solid. Age of Bayintnaung follows Burmese history and allows players to step into the shoes of the ancient Burmese king, Bayintnaung, in a Clash of Clans-esque strategy adventure.
Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?! (Singapore)
