What is 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. A 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. They are also now officially a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization.
