The Philippine GameDev Expo opens a new online platform dedicated to showcasing Filipino-made games.
The Philippine GameDev Expo (PGDX) continues its mission of supporting and promoting the Philippine game industry beyond the expo floor with their latest initiative, HATCH. Designed as a year-round extension of PGDX, HATCH serves as a centralized digital hub where independent studios and aspiring developers can present their games, increase their visibility, and expand opportunities for collaboration and business growth.
HATCH allows visitors to discover a growing catalog of locally developed titles across multiple genres and platforms. It aims to strengthen the discoverability of Philippine-made games both locally and internationally through dedicated developer profiles and game pages. HATCH represents another step toward building a stronger ecosystem for local talent as the Philippines continues to gain recognition on the global stage.
For aspiring developers, HATCH serves as a source of inspiration. It highlights the creativity and diversity of the Philippine game development community across multiple genres. From narrative-driven titles, competitive multiplayer experiences, or even experimental indie games, HATCH offers a snapshot of the country’s creative landscape.
As more studios join HATCH, it’s expected to become a valuable resource for anyone interested in Philippine game development. Whether you’re a gamer looking to support local creations to business partners seeking the next promising title or development team, HATCH can point you in the right direction.
