About Day of the Devs
Day of the Devs, established in 2012, is a nonprofit organization focused on bringing care and attention to smaller development teams, and to give back to the community at large. Markedly a great collaboration between Double Fine Productions and iam8bit, their mission is “to celebrate the creativity, diversity and magic of video games, give a voice to emerging or underrepresented talent, and to connect players with developers, and their games.”
Day of the Devs is a free platform for developers to show off their work, and as a nonprofit is reliant on sponsors, donations, and community support.
