Imagine working a day job and leaving the office every evening to even more work – in this case, developing a full-fledged video game.

That is what Singapore-based Filipino Mark Fillon has been doing.

The 33-year-old works in a local advertising agency in Chinatown, making television commercials and radio advertisements.

He is also the creative director and game designer for Singapore-registered indie game developer General Interactive Co. (GI), which is working on a puzzle adventure game called Chinatown Detective Agency (CDA).

The game, which has been in development since late 2017, is about a private investigator who has set up shop in Chinatown in a futuristic dystopian cyberpunk Singapore.

“So I will do my nine-to-five (job). After that, I will go home and spend three or four hours with my daughter before I put her to bed. And then I will sacrifice some sleep and work all the way to the wee hours of the morning on the game,” says Mr Fillon, who has been working in Singapore for close to five years.

His wife Maria, also a Filipino, works here as a clinic manager. They have a three-year-old daughter.
