Day of the Devs
Day of the Devs is the result of a collaboration between the «Psychonauts 2» game studio Double Fine and the production company Iam8bit. It has since developed into a non-profit organisation.

Devolver Direct
Devolver is known for its quirky livestreams. However, only the broadcast is actually live - the actual video is pre-produced. Last year it was all about the mascot Volvy, who was created especially for the event and ended up turning into a killer robot
In 2020, the showcase will focus on a single game: «Ball x Pit: The Kenny Sun Story». According to the media release, this is the game that Devolver couldn't put down even after hundreds of hours. It will be interesting to see whether this is actually the only game that will be shown.
When: Saturday, 7 June, 2pm

The complete opposite of Devolver Direct is Wholesome Direct. What started out as a small Twitter channel that curated «pleasant» games has developed into the internet centre for cozy games. This year, the livestream will once again be dedicated to cosy games that are perfect for relaxing.

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
