Huzzah!
Day of the Devs is now a fully independent non-profit, its leaders have today announced.
To celebrate, it’s launched a new fundraising campaign “to support their efforts in spotlighting unique and magical video games and the developers who make them – all completely free, with no costs to either developers or event attendees”.
“Day of the Devs will make fundraising efforts more transparent and public, help sponsors and the community understand how critical their support truly is, and solidify the commitment to being 100% platform agnostic,” reads a press release. “With raised funds, Day of the Devs will support venue fees, equipment, staffing, video production and overall operating costs.
“Fans who choose to donate can receive a variety of gifts, including game keys from developers and publishers: Double Fine Productions, iam8Bit, Enhance, Night School Studio, Capybara Games, Sabotage Studio, Tribute Games and more, PLUS VIP tickets to events and physical goods,” the press release continued.
The non-profit has also teamed up with Mean Girls‘ Daniel Franzese to talk about how fetch its new status is. You can get a taste of that in the video above.
“It’s a whole new day for Day of the Devs,” said Tim Schafer, co-founder of Day of the Devs. “It’s extremely gratifying to see this show become as fully independent as the amazing indie games it has always centered around.”
The non-profit has a busy year ahead. First, it’ll host a Day of the Devs event in San Francisco, USA in March, followed by its Summer Game Fest Edition in June, and finally its Game Awards Edition in December.
