Launch their first fundraising campaign

Day of the Devs, the folks behind the yearly showcases spotlighting indie games and creators, have officially become a non-profit organisation. Alongside the news, the group have launched their first fundraising campaign and detailed dates for multiple events this year.

Those efforts include the group’s first fundraising campaignnow live on FundraiseUP, which will offer supporters rewards including game keys, tickets and merch in return for their donations. The funding is expected to go towards covering the cost of event venues, staff, equipment, video production and general operating costs.

“It’s a whole new day for Day of the Devs,” said Day of the Devs co-founder Tim Schafer (you may have heard of him). “It’s extremely gratifying to see this show become as fully independent as the amazing indie games it has always centred around.”

March will also host a series of special events including a GDC edition of the showcase during the developers’ conference and a ticketed event at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
