Teams with two members each will have an overall time budget of 24 hours spread over the first three days in order to build an extraordinary case out of an identical standard case. During the 24 hours the visitors of the gamescom can watch the teams turning a “boring” standard case into something unique. This is quite spectacular as even sparks will be thrown out.
The Art of Games
With „The Art of Games“ Aruba Events is planning the first exhibition only for videogame-pictures since 2010. You can find some Concept
Arts in this exhibition. Those illustrations visualizing ideas of game designers. They are interesting for gamers, because the Concept Arts often are really not similar to the final product.
