EHIBE

DeskTop: Hanggang Umaga turns any desk into a turn-based co-op game. A top-down webcam sees the real objects on your table and redraws each one as a 16-bit pixel art unit. A mug becomes the bahay kubo you protect, a coin becomes an anting-anting, keys become the albularyo. Then creatures from Filipino folklore crawl in from the edges of the desk: aswang, tikbalang, kapre, manananggal. One to four players at one table have 8 turns to survive until sunrise. They move real objects by hand and give orders out loud in Taglish. The problem: Filipino families and barkadas gather around tables every day, but most games pull people into separate screens, and almost none tell our own stories in our own mixed language. DeskTop needs only a laptop, a webcam and an A4 sheet. No console, no board game to buy. It keeps players looking at each other and the table, and it brings back the folklore our grandparents told at night as something kids and friends play together. Campaigns carry across nights. Returning objects are recognized with their sprite, badges and scars, the barrio levels up, and each night opens with a Kagabi recap. A deterministic rules engine decides every outcome, so the AI never decides who wins. Demo Safe Mode keeps the game playable offline. Built solo in General Santos City, Philippines. Electron, React and TypeScript front end, FastAPI, OpenCV and SQLite backend running on localhost only. 2,182 backend tests at 96% coverage, 84 renderer tests. Code under MIT.
