Citing a future ability to provide an end-to-end solution, along with an openness to collaborate, Philippine business leaders believe that the country is poised to become a player in the game development industry.
Jonathan de Luzuriaga, of the Business Processing Association of the Philippines, told the Philippine Daily Inquirer that the country is in the “early stages of building up its video game development business.” While the country currently does some work for developers, such as “cleaning up” motion capture animations and 3D art, Philippine businesses may attempt to band together in order to provide additional, more well-rounded solutions.
de Luzuriaga stated, “If we can tell companies that they can have everything done here, then that’ll be a better value proposition than having each part of the process done in different locations around the world, which is what they are doing today.”
The story noted that similar organizations to de Luzuriaga’s, dubbed business process outsourcing (BPO) firms, offer services to developers in the United States, Korea and areas in Europe.
