The Day of the Devs showcase continues to highlight the creativity and innovation of independent game developers. This year's event featured 19 exciting new titles from around the world, showcasing a variety of genres and visual styles.
We used to only get a Day of the Devs showcase once a year during the summer. Now we get an encore during the holidays as well. This year’s Day of the Devs: Game Awards 2024 Edition didn’t disappoint either. Every time I think the heavily curated, very personal, extremely intimate showcase can’t possibly top the last one, somehow it still does.
As the video game industry ping-pongs from one big-budget sequel and live-service disaster to the next, with seemingly ever less room for creativity, experimentation, and risk-taking, Day of the Devs reminds us that wild, wonderful things are being made all around us as long as you know where to look. And the organization, which started as a collaboration between DoubleFine and iam8bit before becoming a donation-supported non-profit, does indeed know where to look. This year’s event featured 19 rad-looking games from all sorts of genres, sporting a wonderful assortment of visual styles and coming from devs around the world, and I can’t wait to try them all. Especially TankHead, which seems like what you’d get if you set Shadow of the Colossus in the world of Wall-E. Faraway A successor to the 2009 cult hit Eliss, Faraway is about a shooting star charting the cosmos while chasing high scores and vibing out to a soundtrack that reminds me of FTL: Faster Than Light. The whole game is operated with a single button input as you use gravity wells to slingshot your way around celestial bodies. “Let me teach you something about infinity,” says the game’s creator. It’s meant to be infinitely replayable like Tetris: simple on the surface but full of lasting depth.
