DigiPlus Interactive Corp., a prominent player in the digital gaming industry, is setting ambitious goals to enhance its research and development (R&D) capabilities this year. The company, which operates popular gaming platforms like BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and PeryaGame, is focused on creating innovative products and services tailored specifically for Filipino audiences.

In a recent media statement cited by the Daily Tribune, DigiPlus announced that it has already expanded its Local Development Team by over 200 percent. The company plans to double this growth by the end of the year. This strategic move is part of DigiPlus’s broader commitment to innovation in the gaming sector.

To support this initiative, DigiPlus has launched a five-month DigiPlus Technology Bootcamp. This program is designed to empower local tech experts and equip them with the skills necessary to thrive in the fast-evolving digital landscape.

Eusebio Tanco, Chairman of DigiPlus, emphasized the importance of innovation for the company. “Innovation is part of our DNA at DigiPlus, and we are driven by a commitment to elevate the player experience with the right technology,” he stated. Tanco noted that the R&D team is central to this transformation, and they are actively seeking talented Filipino tech professionals to help shape the future of DigiPlus.

The DigiPlus Technology Bootcamp is an intensive program that covers a wide range of technical skills. Participants will gain hands-on experience and receive mentorship from industry experts. The curriculum includes both core technical skills and advanced projects, utilizing the latest tools and frameworks that drive innovation in digital entertainment.

DigiPlus takes a tech-first approach, ensuring that bootcamp participants gain the expertise and confidence needed to meet the demands of today’s digital economy. The company is currently hiring for various roles, including backend, frontend, iOS, Android, and Quality Assurance (QA) positions. Each role will be paired with dedicated mentors to provide guidance and support throughout the program.

One notable aspect of DigiPlus’s approach is its advanced QA program. This initiative allows fresh graduates to immerse themselves in a highly technical environment, working directly on product development from the outset. This hands-on experience is invaluable, as it prepares participants for real-world challenges in the gaming industry.

One example of DigiPlus’s research-driven innovation is its Perya Games offering. The recently launched game, Pinoy Drop Ball, brings the traditional Filipino carnival experience to digital platforms across the country. Maine Mendoza-Atayde was present during the launch of Pinoy Drop Ball which took place last September 29, 2024, at the Grand Hyatt Manila.
