• The "Here's to the Dreamers" campaign was launched by the Southeast Asian Game Developers (SEAGD) community to highlight the diverse and talented game developers in the region. The campaign features interviews with several developers from countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam, showcasing their unique perspectives, challenges, and aspirations in the game development industry.
• The interviewed developers share their experiences of navigating the game development landscape in Southeast Asia, which can be challenging due to limited resources, lack of industry support, and cultural biases. However, they express a strong passion for their craft and a determination to overcome these obstacles, driven by a desire to create meaningful and impactful games that reflect their cultural heritage and personal experiences.
• The "Here's to the Dreamers" campaign aims to inspire and empower other aspiring game developers in Southeast Asia, providing them with a platform to share their stories and connect with a wider audience. The initiative also serves to raise awareness about the rich diversity and talent within the region's game development community, challenging the often-narrow perceptions of the industry and promoting greater inclusivity and representation.
