Help us level the playing field for creators of color.
Game Devs of Color Expo is a labor of love, organized by a small handful of volunteers. We can’t do it alone. Sponsorship helps us make bigger, better events that reach more people — which ultimately provides a larger platform for our diverse community.
Sponsor the eventMake your mark with a broad, diverse audience
The Game Devs of Color community features international creators and garners attention from attendees around the world. We are supporting and uplifting voices in games that are creating interesting and powerful work but do not have the same level of access to reseources as those with more privilege. You have the opportunity to align with and learn from the future of our globalizing world.
We know talent
The industry is only improved by those who are willing to push it forward. Game Devs of Color is an active part of the change. We have a proven track record of investing in talented creators of color. Games shown at this event are high-quality and bring a fresh perspective to design thinking. Creators who have spoken and participated in our games showcases have gone on to win awards at other well-known industry events.
We are growing
Over six years, the Game Devs of Color Expo has transitioned from a single-day event to a 4 day festival featuring the work and voices of creators of color. In 2020 we highlighted 31 speakers and 36 games across talks, panels, game developer interviews, trailer reveals, and a Steam event called Gradient Convergence. Over 1500 people attended the ticketed portions of our event, and 700k viewers checked out Gradient Convergence.

We want to thank you for the opportunity to get this grant … This grant will help us make Love Shore as good as it can be, and also help us continue making narrative games in the future.
