Summer Game Fest stream, this year’s Day Of The Devs showcase marked the tenth anniversary. Tim Schafer and friends revealed more about some stonking looking indies from places as far apart as the Netherlands, Japan and Argentina. It was lovely to see some solo devs featured too, such as Madison Karrh with Birth, a point-and-click puzzler about loneliness, and Billy Basso’s beautiful pixel-art Metroidvania Animal Well.
Each year’s Day Of The Devs is jointly organised by Double Fine Productions and iam8bit. The curatorial board of five includes Tim Schafer and James Spafford from Double Fine, iam8bit’s Jon Gibson and Amanda White, and PlayStation’s indie champion Greg Rice. Most of the games shown have already been announced, but there were a few new surprises too, from Playables’ insectoid bucket-list sim Time Flies to Ustwo Games’ intriguing Desta: The Memories Between. Read on for the full breakdown of what was shown.
