About Nordenx (Creator of the Anak Bathala World):

Introduction:
     Norman Antonio de los Santos is a digital graphics artist, software programmer, website designer, entrepreneur, amateur musician and game developer. He is credited for creating the Anak Bathala background story and project and the first to develop the concept for a persistent game world based on Filipino Mythology. 

Background:
     Norman was born and raised in Mindoro, Philippines. He later immigrated to the United States in 1989 when he was 18 years old.

     Norman graduated from college with a degree in Computer Science and later went on to finish another associates degree in Computer Networks Systems Technology.

     In 2000, he partnered and co-founded a small IT business in Southern California where he and his team offers IT services, developed networks, software, and websites for small businesses and larger companies and corporations. He also spearheaded a LAN games project that developed simple multiplayer games, applications, and game Mod tools. The business was running smoothly for four years until the partnership broke up for differences in creative vision. Disappointed from the loss, Nordenx vowed to start another company on his own when he can afford to do so. Between looking for a job and taking care of his family, he found comfort in his private research and hobbies.

     The Anak Bathala story, game concept, and project was pieced together during Nordenx's research. A year later, the first phase of the project is close to becoming a reality.

About The Project:


Background:
     The Anak Bathala Project is a multifaceted project that promotes the Filipino heritage and culture through global exposure of our unique stories and mythologies through digital and conventional media.


Mission Statement & Project Goals:

      To promote and represent Filipino Heritage in the global market. To expose the global community and the videogame industry to our rich culture and mythology. To promote the Philippines as a major resource for the gaming industry; crediting our arts & artist and talented professionals. To give back to the community in the later stages by sharing future proceeds of the project with select foundations or organizations whose services, goals, and causes are to improve and protect the welfare of the community.


About The Game:

Anak Bathala Online:
     Anak Bathala (God Spawn) is the first installment of the AB project's Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MORPG). It's a free to download / free to play (no monthly fees) PC based game. What's unique about this is that it's the 1st Filipino Mythology based Persistent Game World set in the ancient (pre-Spanish) Philippines. The game is developed using a free MMORPG creations engine called PlayerWorlds. It's a 2D game with custom sprites and background graphics, as well as music and scripts.

     Anak Bathala II (New Gods) is the tentatively titled follow up for the first AB game. It is planned to be a 3D MMORPG/Action Adventure. This game is set in the early Philippine Spanish colonial times (1570's), where the first Spanish expedition to the Muslim ruled islands encounters adventure in a new land populated by warriors, warlocks, mystical creatures, mysterious people, pirates, spirits, demons, and demigods. 

Project Stages:

  • Phase I
                  Develop and launch Anak Bathala Online, a free to download and free to play MMORPG, and develop a following within the Philippine & Global gaming community by offering a unique persistent online world. Build a fan base and use all data collected from the community to improve the game, the service, and network with key individuals and organizations who can help with the development of the project.

  • Phase 2
                  Transition to semi-commercial stage wherein funding and capital is established to prepare for sustained operation and future development. Start development of Anak Bathala II, a 3D MMORPG world that is free to download and play with an option to be commercially viable. Port Anak Bathala to it's own licensed game engine and possibly take advantage of mobile technology and it's potential revenue rich market. Solidly establish Anak Bathala as a global, national, and community conscious project. Assemble a top notch development team. Develop marketing strategies, affiliations, after-market products, and prepare for future expansion & development of other media.

  • Phase 3 SECTION IN DEVELOPMENT


During this phase, you'll see the development of other 2D and 3D games of different genre; commercial or casual gaming. Hopefully establish a videogame development house both in the U.S. and the Philippines. At this point, we would like to solidify our relationships with affiliates, investors, and partners.
