Day of the Devs: Game Awards Edition will highlight indies alongside the big awards show
06.09.2023 - 19:13 / destructoid.com / Will
Day of the Devs has announced that they’ll be highlighting indie games in Day of the Devs: Game Awards Edition. This will put smaller developers in the spotlight on December 6th in a livestream as part of the weeklong Game Awards celebration.
Ugh, I hate to be reminded of the Game Awards. Part of my distaste for them is because they make such a token effort to recognize smaller developers who make contributions to the industry. The difference between a AAA game and everything else isn’t quality; it’s budget. The Game Awards feels like an extension of the corporate side of gaming, where indies are seen more as a crucible for ideas that might be profitable on a larger level.
Day of the Devs, on the other hand, is a bit easier to appreciate. It’s helmed by Double Fine and iam8bit, who at least have an appreciation for the artistry in gaming. The Day of the Devs: Game Awards Edition also allows anyone to submit their games for consideration (before September 20th) without a financial barrier for entry.
The form doesn’t really define what they consider “indie,” which is a bit concerning since people apply the label pretty widely these days. Dave the Diver, for example, is often described as indie production. But the developer, Mintrocket, is a division of Nexon Korea Corporation, which has a net income in the billions.
So, here’s hoping that Day of the Devs: Game Awards Edition recognizes some hot indie games that actually need it. As a note, the usual Day of the Devs show that normally takes place in San Francisco in November is being pushed back a few months to early 2024.
Day of the Devs: Game Awards Edition will livestream on December 6th, 2023. The Game Awards proper follows after on December 7, 2023.

I've tested countless Nintendo Switch accessories - this is the deal I've been waiting for
I've had a fair few gadgets plugged into my Nintendo Switch, but none have been as handy as the Genki Covert Dock. This little charger doubles up as a completely safe, travel-friendly Switch dock with just an HDMI and USB-C cable required. The best part? Walmart's latest Nintendo Switch deals have dropped it to its lowest price yet - and that's rare considering we only started seeing any discounts on this gizmo a few months ago.

PAX West Preview: Long Gone Days: A Sniper's Tale Unveiled
I was equipped with a sniper rifle and positioned high above a courtyard. Enemies began bursting from behind cover and scattering across the area. I easily picked them off one by one but instinctively panicked when two of them burst into the room I was hiding in. If I've learned anything from video games, it's that sniper rifles don't work well from up close. But to my surprise, Long Gone Days isn't just a pixel-based sniper simulator. It's also a turn-based combat game with different weapons, abilities, and items. It's a lot more than what it appears on the surface.
