AAPI in Gaming

One thing about Filipino storytelling: it is going to make you feel everything. 🎭🇵🇭 Swipe for your next binge watch, save for a cozy night in (grab your tissues and snacks, you’ll need both!), and drop your all time favorite Filipino movies or shows in the comments! 👇🏽✨ #FAHM #AAPIinGaming

AAPI in Gaming is excited to welcome Jerry Cortez, Associate Producer at Stardock, for our next Fireside Chat to celebrate Filipino American History Month! 🎮 ⌚ When: October 23rd @ 9:00 pm ET / 6:00 pm PT 📺 Where: www.youtube.com/@AAPIInGaming #FAHM #FilipinoAmericanHistoryMonth #AAPIinGaming

We celebrate Filipino American History Month! 🌟 On October, we celebrate the contributions and resilience of Filipino Americans. They have paved the way for not just other Filipino Americans, but for others as well. Let's learn from their past actions that led to a better future for all. ✊

We're hosting a watch party with Diversity In Games for the @gdocexpo.com in Vancouver on Oct 6. Grab tickets for $12CAD (normally $70CAD!) Tickets come with a pass to the online conference, which starts tomorrow on September 22-25. 🔗 bit.ly/gdoc-van

The global game community is diverse. The industry isn't. GDoCExpo is an online conference that exists to close that gap. Celebrate creativity & culture in games w/ us! This week: talks, panels, interviews, networking, community demos, Direct, grant awards & watch parties! Who we are & what we do👇🏽

Today, we celebrate the launch of not one, but two games. Two worlds. One historic moment for AAPI representation in gaming! Congratulations! 🎮 🌏 lily's world XD - @sonderingemily.bsky.social 🐓 Rooster - @stickybrainstudios.bsky.social Thank you for making space for more AAPI stories in gaming.
