This would normally be the time of the year where the Game Developers Conference takes place in San Francisco, CA. However, due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, this is not meant to be. However, the crew at GDC is doing its best to carry on via digital means. That includes the people behind Day of the Devs hosting a special GDC Edition Direct livestream presentation.

Day of the Devs is the annual showcase of indie games hosted by Double Fine and iam8bit. They're normally located on the Moscone Center floor, but this year, they're going to bring this year's games directly to you at home.

Among the games set to be featured are Carrion, Cloudpunk, Chicory, She Dreams Elsewhere, Heavenly Bodies, Komako, Rainy Season, Disc Room, Skatebird, Paper Beast, and Sludge Life. There's also one more game that is being kept under wraps until the presentation itself. Platforms and release dates for each of the games will vary.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
