Meet The Team Behind Lola’s Lutong Bahay
Miguel Macabulos, the game’s project manager shared in his interview that the game’s goal is to preserve and revitalize Filipino culinary culture and to spread it in other countries as well.
As Filipinos embrace the culinary trends from other countries, such as samgyupsal, ramen, and other food dupes, it becomes increasingly important to revive native Filipino dishes. This game serves as a smart and meaningful way to emphasize the value of our own cuisine and celebrate our culinary heritage.
Meet the talented team behind ‘Lola’s Lutong Bahay.’ Miguel Macabulos is the project manager who started the game as a capstone project. With the help of his group mates, they created this fun cooking game!
The team includes Lucky James Ian Corpus as the art director, Precious Reigne Vindua as the art designer, Nathaniel James Regojos as the game developer, and Rinan Justin Ubaldo as the sound and music developer.
