Arranger! Fear the Spotlight! And More!
Day of the Devs is here once again! This bi-annual celebration, from Double Fine Productions and iam8bit, of the weird and wonderful world of indies is always a delight, and at Summer Game Fest 2024, the showcase didn’t disappoint.
We got a look at 20 games, including seven World Premieres. These range from the sweet to the silly to the spectacular. Some highly-anticipated indies — including Mossmouth and The Game Bakers’ next games — might have stolen the show, but everything here is worth a look. The big question for us is, “Are these coming to Switch?”. That’s always difficult for these bigger showcases, but we’ve got all the answers.
