Can’t Drive This

Pixel Maniacs (GER, 2016)

One player drives WHILE the other builds the racing track. Spoiler alert: The car explodes if you go too slow! Originally created in just 72 hours during Ludum Dare 35, the game got greenlit within a week. Who can drive longest and who builds the most creative roads?

Character Design

How do characters from the future look like? Which skills and characteristics do they have in order to change the world? At the Character Design station, you can create your own video game heroines and heroes, and develop them digitally and analog.

This station is part of Studio Zukunft.

Creative Gaming Award Show

Christiane — Sun, 09 Sep 2018 12:59:14 +0000

Again, the awarding ceremony on Saturday is the celebratory ending to the festival. By then, the jury had had several days to play the nominees and talk to the developers about their games. On this evening, they announce the winners of the two categories. Furthermore, the audience award will honor the visitor’s favorite game of the PLAY18 Exhibition.

But that’s not all! Prior to the Award Ceremony, Alistair Aitcheson, creator of The Incredible Playable Show, returns with a brand new interactive game-show where members of the audience get to take part in bizarre and hilarious video game challenges! Glitches, wearable controllers and audience participation clash to turn retro classics into entirely new, totally unpredictable experiences!

After the Award Show there will be a party at the Festival HQ.
