I have a secret... When I was younger, I used to be an addict online gamer. Gaming opened me to a whole new experience. As I joined guilds and attended game conventions, I was able to make new friends which I still keep until today. I have not been updated with the gaming industry lately so I decided to go to the E-Sports and Gaming Summit (ESGS) at the SMX Convention Center last October 28. I was impressed by our locally made games like Synergy 88's Barangay 143.
I was further impressed that the company is headed by a woman - Jackline Chua.
The Barangay 143 game is a prequel to the soon to be animation series with the same name. The story line is quite interesting. The main character Joaquin or “Wax” Rivera is a young and inexperienced basketball player. His father is a basketball legend. As you go through along the game, he will learn from four basketball masters and he will be challenged by hardcore ballers. Can he make his name in the basketball league just like his father? That is what we are about to find out in the game and in the animation series. It will also give the gamers and audience a localized feel of how street and league basketball is here in the Philippines. We Filipinos have always loved basketball among other sports. It is exciting to see our love be shown in the form of an android game and animation right?
The Barangay 143 is a free android mobile game that aims to give gamers the ultimate arcade experience. Arcade games have always been something simple yet competitively motivating for gamers of all ages. The company also plans to sponsor real basketball leagues and hold events so gamers can engage and grow from the holistic experience.
