Games inspired by Arab culture
The showcase will feature a mix of projects, ranging from university student creations to games developed for festivals. Several titles draw inspiration from Arab culture and folklore, while some are set in the UAE.
The event will highlight the growing range of creative talent in Dubai's gaming industry, including independent developers and local studios.
Players will be able to try games that are still under development, while their reactions and feedback will help creators understand what works and what needs improvement. This will allow developers to make changes based on actual player experiences before the games reach a wider audience.
