The last week of February, video games will once again be protagonists at the Rey Juan Carlos University. On February 26, 27 and 28, fans and the electronic entertainment industry will be able to share points of view on different aspects of this world at the Móstoles campus.

Diego Sánchez, a member of 'Virtual Soul' and a 3rd year Videogame Design and Development student, points out that “this new edition of GameGen aims to bring the most internationally recognized speakers to the university”. So far 3 speakers have been confirmed: José Raluy, a video game producer who has worked on several titles in the 'Castlevania' saga; Odín Fernández, 3D modeling artist who has participated in works such as 'Young Justice Legacy', 'The Muppets', 'Phineas & Ferb' and 'Metroid Samus Return' and Claudio Serrano, professor at URJC and voice actor in games such as 'Batman: Arkham Series', 'Star Wars: Battlefront' and 'The Last Of Us'.

Through the presentations, topics "that we have not touched on in previous editions, such as project management or dubbing and music in video games" will be addressed, Diego Sánchez indicated.

In addition, attendees will be able to learn about the latest developments by independent studios and try their 'demos'. Likewise, they will be able to transmit their sensations to the authors of the video games.

For the second consecutive year, the drawing of video game characters will also have its place in 'GameGen' through the 'GameCept' contest. In this case, the drawings will have to represent an "alien with an ordinary, low-paying job who is clumsy and tired-looking." As can be seen on the twitter of 'Virtual Soul'. There you can also find the contest rules.

The day is open to any student and fan of video games, even if they do not belong to the urjc. All the news that appear in relation to 'GameGen' can be followed through the page websites of 'Virtual Soul', as well as his profile of Twitter.
