ISDA — THE GAME

Isda on a phone: a fish takes the bait off the end of the pier, and the Strike button lights up

A fishing game set in a Philippine barangay, in your browser. Take a bangka out, fish the reef and the pier, sell your catch at the Mercado, and dance budots at the fiesta.

Now on your phone too: a stick for your left thumb, drag with your right to look, and buttons for casting, striking and reeling. Puwede na sa cellphone.

Para sa mga kabayan, saan man sa mundo: for Filipinos at home and OFWs abroad who miss the dagat. Free, with nothing to install.

By Bart Sakwerda, founder of Budots Media.

WHY INTERACTIVE

Isda is our test of what a browser can do today: a real-time 3D island with its sea, weather, people and music, running in a tab on a laptop or a phone with nothing to install. It is also the direction of the studio. Flat video is filling up with AI slop and propaganda, its value is falling and its margins with it. A world you can walk into, built from scans of real places and real people, is hard to fake and worth more to the people who spend time in it. So we are moving from making video to building games and interactive content. After our recent production LapuLapu: First Defender, we are making LapuLapu – The Game, coming to computer and mobile; its Battle of Mactan is already playable in your browser. More in why games matter to advertisers now.
