GAMESCOM 2023 gave us a plethora of upcoming video game titles that would us drool in awe.

From Hoyoverse's new title, to Bethesda open world space advanture, there are no shortage of exciting games ahead.

And while Gamescom has been making waves in the international scene, the Philippines also held an event where developers got a chance to showcase their games.

With the Philippine GameDev Expo, local publishers can show their creativity and gaming and here are some upcoming titles from the Philippine gamedev scene that are worth the wait.

Tower of Cards

Most Played Games' Tower of Cards offers a unique twist in the tower defense genre. Instead of the usual setup of defending a lane, Tower of Cards encourages the player to defend all cylinders of the battlefield.

And how will they do it? By setting up a deck of cards, each with unique abilities, from fire attacks, freeze bombs, etc. Fans of deck building card games and tower defenses will surely appreciate the unique setup of this game.

FallenTear: The Ascension

For those who wish to revisit the good old times when Castlevania and other 2D platformers were the main attraction, gamers can try CMD Studios' FallenTear: The Ascencion. With its colorful and modern arstyle, gameplay reminiscent of Nickelodeon's Avatar series, and a vast array of characters, FallenTear could be a magical experience that could potentially mystify the playerbase.

The game's premise is centered on a young boy named Hira, travelling the world of Raoah to find all Fated Bonds and uncover the secrets of his forgotten past.

Verenica

If Tower of Cards is a deck building + tower defense game, Moe Studios' Verenica is a rhythm game mixed with RPG elements.

Players get to control the main character, Verenica, as she collects power ups from the rhythm notes, while avoiding the baddies.

With those power ups, Verenica can unleash a truckload of projectiles and abilities towards her foes.

For newcomers, a very fun tutorial session awaits, as the instructor sings an upbeat song to keep you dancing.

Sinag

If you're fond of fighting games, Ranida Games' Sinag could be a local masterpiece especially with its premise centered on Philippine history and mythology.

From Tikbalangs to White Ladies, to Katipuneros and tribal warriors, Sinag boasts a lot of cultural references that could keep us intrigued.

This isn't the first time that Ranida made a game tackled Philippine history as they once were heavily focused on developing BAYANI - Fighting Game, which is currently live on Steam.

Nearly 1 in 5 hate crimes motivated by anti-LGBTQ bias, FBI finds

Flower Girl — Wed, 10 Nov 2021 21:03:19 +0000

Of the 7,120 hate crime incidents reported in 2018, more than 1,300 — or nearly 19 percent — stemmed from anti-LGBTQ bias, according to the FBI’s latest Hate Crime Statistics report.

According to the FBI data, of the nearly 1,200 incidents targeting people due to their sexual orientation, the majority targeted gay men (roughly 60 percent), while approximately 12 percent targeted lesbians, 1.5 percent targeted bisexuals, 1.4 percent targeted heterosexuals and the remaining incidents targeted a mixed group of LGBTQ people. Transgender and gender-nonconforming people were the targets in 168 reported incidents, approximately 2.4 percent of all reported hate crime incidents last year.

When compared to 2017, the number of reported incidents targeting the LGBTQ community increased from 1,217 to 1,347, jumping from roughly 17 percent to 19 percent of each year's total number of reported hate crime incidents.

In particular, reports of anti-trans violence is growing: Between 2017 and 2018, the number of these reported incidents increased 34 percent.

The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community is estimated by Gallup to comprise 4.5 percent of the U.S. population, yet according to the FBI’s newly released report, they comprise 18.5 percent of hate crime victims.

While the 7,120 overall reported hate crime incidents recorded in 2018 are slightly fewer than in 2017, both years represent historically high levels of reported hate crimes, with only 2008 recording more in the past decade: 7,783. In 2014, hate crimes hit a decade-low rate of 5,479 incidents.

Another noteworthy trend is that reported hate crimes increasingly targeted people (like assault) instead of property (like vandalism), even as the nation enjoys continued decreases in both violent and property crimes.

In 2018, nearly 66 percent of hate crime offenses were directed toward people, while 31 percent were directed toward property. In 2017, 60 percent of hate crimes were directed toward people, while 37 percent were directed toward property.

According to FBI data released in September, this goes against overall nationwide crime trends. In 2018, the national violent crime rate fell 4 percent compared to 2017, while the property crime rate declined 7 percent.

According to this latest report, Jewish and black communities continue to shoulder a disproportionate percentage of federally reported hate crimes: Jewish people comprise an estimated 2 percent of the U.S. population but make up 10 percent of hate crime victims, and the black community is an estimated 13.4 percent of the U.S. population but makes up 26 percent of hate crime victims.

The FBI's Hate Crime Statistics report tells just part of the story. Of the 16,039 law enforcement agencies across the country that voluntarily participated in the Hate Crime Statistics Program, only 2,026 reported any hate crime incidents at all, according to the FBI. The state of Alabama, for example, did not report a single hate crime in all of 2018.
