Apple is launching a “Here’s to the Dreamers” campaign to spotlight artists and creative talents in Southeast Asia. The celebration of passion, creativity, and determination will manifest on the App Store, Apple Music, and Apple TV starting August 9.
On the App Store, people may try out ThoughtFull Chat, Potion Permit, WithU, and DreamChaser. These apps for Apple devices are all built by local indie developers in Southeast Asia who have defied odds.
ThoughtFull Chat is an app that connects people with mental health support in an easy, approachable, and accessible way. It’s the advocacy of Singapore’s Joan Low, who left her day job and devoted herself fulltime to the app.
The app allows those in need to find professionals and engage in text-based therapy. This therapy has proved to be clinically effective for improvements in stress, anxiety, and depression.
Meanwhile, Potion Permit is a charming simulation game from Indonesia-based MassHive Media, which is led by brother-sister duo Andika Pradana and Anggia Lestari. It follows the journey of a chemist in Moonbury. Curiously, the title is inspired by Pradana’s then-girlfriend, who happens to be a doctor.
Moreover, WithU offers heartwarming quotes and beautiful artwork created by talented Thai artists. It’s the project of Tyme Suteesopon and Sirin Thamakaison, which they developed as early as when they were still in high school.
Lastly, DreamChaser is a pixel-art endless runner game which made history as the first Vietnamese title of its kind. Phuc Pham and Hiep Tran are behind it, with the former dropping out of university to pursue game development professionally.
For an in-depth journey behind the game’s creation, Phuc has detailed everything on his YouTube channel that has over 30,000 subscribers.
