All Play Day – Event Series For Game Creators

Vietnamese Gamechanger is a series of events for knowledge exchanges, networking and game design camps for creatives in the Vietnamese gaming industry, organised by Creative Contact. The event series is part of the Vietnam Festival of Creativity & Design 2023.

3. Exhibition: See & Play – game publications from partners

Through these activities, game creators will have the opportunity to collaborate and generate game product concepts rich in the Vietnamese identity, thereby showcasing the intellectual and technological power in this field to larger communities. Specifically, participants will gain more insights on culture, philosophy, logical thinking and rich imagination in regard to games. They will also learn about the technologies currently used in the industry to realise their ideas, such as printing cards, 3D printing, 2D and 3D graphics, among others.

The event series hopes to offer an inspiring space, promote the potential of game creators in general and enhance the exchange of knowledge and experiences among different communities within the gaming industry. At the same time, it allows participants to see, understand, and interact with Vietnamese cultural values through creative products made by Vietnamese creators.
