Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition Returns in June 2024

Developer Submissions Now Open!

Day of the Devs just celebrated a successful series of events in San Francisco, including Day of the Devs: SF Edition, now one of the most-attended events since its inception! Next, they’re teaming up with Summer Game Fest once again for Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition in June – Submissions are now open for developers to submit their games for consideration!

The Day of the Devs team is looking for unique, diverse and beautiful indie games to spotlight. Developers interested in submitting their games can apply through the form here from today until April 12. Developers from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply and games/projects of all types and genres will be considered.

Last year, Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition provided a stage for some of the most innovative and exciting indie games of the year, including: Sad Owl Studios + Thunderful Publishing’s Viewfinder, Wishes Unlimited + Klei’s Beastieball, Moonloop Games’ Hauntii, Geometric Interactive + Annapurna Interactive’s COCOON, Phantom Coast’s Helskate, iam8bit’s Simpler Times and Studio Sai + Kepler Interactive’s Eternights.

Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition will be presented online via livestream immediately following the Summer Game Fest live showcase on June 7, approximately at 4pm PT. Select games from the showcase will also get the opportunity to participate in SGF: Play Days.

To continue producing events like this, Day of the Devs is running their fundraising campaign on FundraiseUP. While supplies last, fans who donate can receive a variety of gifts, including game keys from developers and publishers such as Double Fine Productions, iam8bit, Enhance, Night School Studio, Capybara Games, Sabotage Studio, Tribute Games and more, plus physical goods and VIP tickets to events. The full list of gifts and tiering details can be found here.

Day of the Devs is a non-profit with the mission to celebrate the creativity, diversity and magic of video games. Day of the Devs gives a voice to emerging or underrepresented talent with platforms that connect players with developers, and their games. Day of the Devs takes on the form of virtual and physical events – all completely free, with no costs to either developers or attendees. Over the last 12 years, Day of the Devs has shined a spotlight on many hundreds of games, hosted tens of thousands of people at in-person events, and reached out to millions of viewers through virtual showcases.

More details on Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition will be released in the coming weeks, so be sure to keep an eye out on www.dayofthedevs.org and follow on Instagram and X.
