About the DLSU Game Lab
Funded by DOST-PCIEERD, the DLSU GAME Lab will lead the development of an open-source Philippine game engine to support the PH gaming industry towards embracing in-house game engine development.
About the Project: "Project Anito"
This project aims to provide a framework for the PH gaming industry in assisting them how to embrace in-house game development, wherein the members of this project will be spearheading the development of the foundational tools typically used for game development, such as a game library, framework, a 3D editor, or a game engine.
The primary purpose of an in-house game engine is to provide more control, flexibility, and performance for the developers seeking specific game genres. This project is named "Project Anito" to pay tribute to the first Filipino game, "Anito: Defend a Land Enraged."
