Game Over/Continue? Exhibit

This is an event that almost fell under my radar but luckily I recovered it. Two big names in the art and indie game design communities have teamed up to put together one of the sweetest art shows I have read about. The boys at Giantrobot and Attract Mode threw the Game Over/Continue exhibit to celebrate their new union and new project artxgame. Though this is not the first art exhibit by Giantrobot, it is the first one featuring games developed specifically for exhibition.

Four super-talented illustrators were teamed with some of the biggest names in indie game development. The results were four interesting and beautiful titles developed by the experimental and collaborative duos. Check out the Offworld post for more information on the games and exhibition. As a long time gamer I have never been more excited in the scene. I have been disillusioned in the past with all the money being focused on new and profitable projects like Resident Guitar 12: Ultimate Fighter; Episode 7. Events like this allow for more opportunities for interested designers to make a stupid concept a realization.
