SAN FRANCISCO – Oct. 10, 2013 – The festive folks of Double Fine Productions will be hosting Day of the Devs, in collaboration with the brooding but attractive hipsters of iam8bit, in San Francisco on November 2, 2013. This free event will feature fun, food, and a curated selection of amazement from fellow indie game developer pals, showing off the latest and greatest in the world of independent video games.
 
Featuring a line-up of games from Double Fine, including the first opportunity to play Broken Age, as well as a currently unannounced new game, Day of the Devs will also feature wares from iam8bit, Supergiant Games, Capy Games, Gaijin Games, SpyParty, Honeyslug, Tribute Games, and more for you to get your grubby impeccably clean hands on. Surprises will abound from special guests like Funomena, while the illustrious Phil Fish spins tunes in a one-of-a-kind DJ appearance. 
 
To keep your sustenance up, several food trucks will grace the event and drinks will be on-hand. Additionally, merch will be for sale from your favorite indies, because what’s the point of earning money except to spend it on sweet, sweet goods?
 
”It’s basically all of our favorite people in one place, for a night of awesome games, food, music, happiness, and creativity,” said Double Fine President and CEO Tim Schafer. “Essentially, a Night of 1,000 Hugs.”
