Ahead of this weekends Game Devs of Color Expo, the event launched a “direct” vid showcasing games and board games produced by folks who will be attending this years expo.
This is the 5th annual Game Devs of Color Expo and this year the entire thing is online-only due to covid-19. The exposition officially begins tomorrow, however to kick it off with a bang, the folks behind the expo launched a nearly 40-minute-long showcase of 30+ video games. Much of these video games have playable demonstrations you download now as part of Gradient Convergence, a digital event presented by the Game Devs of Color Expo.
You can see the complete video above– which, by the way, was produced by Kotaku alumni Paul Tamayo and self-employed contributor Alan Torres– but keep reading for my picks of a few of the coolest and most interesting video games from the occasion.
