Zenaya is a 10-minute experimental mini-game by Senshi.Labs as a means to test the player’s knowledge about Philippine folklore. Think of this game as a visual riddle that you have to solve.

Story: Zenaya’s physical body has been stolen by a Diwata. To retrieve it, she has to pass through the obstacles that the Diwata throws at her. As you control Zenaya, weave your way through puzzles and mythical creatures lurking in the dark by switching to her temporary corporeal form and back.

Song of Pisces: Tips & Map Secrets

DocB Leave a comment

War Guardian Chronicles Book 1: Song of Pisces is a game with pretty straightforward maps and quests. There are, however, some maps that tend to be confusing. So we decided to provide a gallery of the game’s larger maps. These should show players where exits and important quest items can be found. We also provided screenshots to serve as guides for quests and side quests. The sections are divided thus:

  • General Strategy
  • Map Gallery
  • Quests
  • Side Quests
  • Job Promotion

If you have other problems that are not listed in this guide, feel free to post your question in the comments section. Anyway, let’s start with the general strategy for playing the game. Read More

In December 2012, I left my producer post at Anino Games but I had also just received my PhD, which meant that I could go back to part-time teaching. Thing is, I also did not want to leave the game development industry completely, so I sought to enter an organization that could allow me to cultivate my love for education at the same time. There was only one game dev company (whose name will remain undisclosed) back then that I was interested in, despite a lot of offers elsewhere. That organization rejected me because I didn’t seem like a good fit. Read More
