Los Angeles – May 22,
2020 – Summer Game Fest, an all-digital
multi-month global gaming festival, today announced the addition of two
Developer Showcase events on June 22 and July 20. The Developer Showcase events
will spotlight a select group of upcoming indie and AAA video games, curated by
the Day of the Devs team and Geoff Keighley (The Game Awards). The Summer Game
Fest Developer Showcases will take place on June 22 and July 20, with new
content in each livestream, including gameplay, news, and videogame musical
performances. Fans can tune in via all major streaming platforms and on summergamefest.com.
“Independent
game developers and publishers are a vital part of our industry and Summer Game
Fest,” said Geoff Keighley, curator, Summer Game fest. “I am excited to team up
with Day of the Devs for these showcase events that will be filled with
gameplay and updates from both independent and major publishers.”
“Our goal
with Day of the Devs has always been to shine a spotlight on creator-driven
games, whether it’s one that’s already getting some buzz or something
completely new and surprising that comes through the submission process,” said
Tim Schafer, founder of Double Fine Productions and co-founder of Day of the
Devs.
“Each showcase will be jam-packed, from the extended gameplay previews that have
become a Day of the Devs staple to some very special surprise debuts that
you’ll never see coming. This is the Day of the Devs you’ve loved for the last
eight years, yet crafted specifically for the digital space,” said Amanda White
and Jon Gibson, co-owners of iam8bit and also co-founders of Day of the Devs.
The initial group of participating developers and publishers confirmed for the
showcases include: Akupara Games, Annapurna Interactive, The
Behemoth, Finji, Kowloon Nights, Longhand Electric, MWM Interactive, Panic,
Sabotage Studio, Skybound Games, Team17, thatgamecompany, Tribute Games, and
ustwo games with
additional publishers, developers and games featured being announced in the
future. The Day of the Devs team is also currently accepting submissions from
indie developers for inclusion into the showcase. Developers from all different
backgrounds working on interesting and unique games are welcome to apply for
