2 oktober up until 29 november
Dutch Game Week Expo
Dive into the world of play
From entertainment and compelling stories to bringing people together and innovative applications in healthcare and education, games are all around us. About 80 percent of the Dutch population plays games, and entire generations have grown up with them. It has evolved into a cultural phenomenon, a gaming culture, that strongly influences media, technology, and everyday life.
When you think of video games, you often think of fast computers and complex code. But almost every digital world begins in a sketchbook. Even in this high-tech, creative field, simple hands-on materials are still important to the creative process.
Behind every game is a multidisciplinary team of creators. In this exhibition, you discover how game artists, game designers, and developers (programmers) work together to bring that very first, analog idea to life. Dive into the entire game-making process: watch, play, and join. This way, you’ll experience how crafts, creativity, and technology work together.
Dutch Game Week is powered by Playgrounds in collaboration with BUas, Dutch Games Association, B’GAME, Dynasty Esports, Avans Creative Innovation, Chassé Theater, Stedelijk Museum Breda and Nieuwe Veste and is made possible by the city of Breda, the province of Noord-Brabant, The Creative Industries Fund NL, and Kinly.
