Night of the Indigenous Devs 2020
Channel: Achimostawinan Games
Date: 2020-10-26

Night of the Indigenous Devs is a celebration and showcase of international Indigenous video game talent. Originally aired as a part of the imagineNATIVE 2020 Festival. 

Come watch these amazingly talented Indigenous digital creatives show off their work and talk on what it means to be Indigenous working in video games. Take a mental break with the very adorable Button City, an animal adventure game or relax with Mîkiwâm, the narrative game about family and tea. Looking for something a little more exciting? Then you should definitely tune in to learn more about Finding Victor, a VR mystery game about a missing youth. Maybe what you’re really looking for is something retro! Well, we’ve got you covered with NeoFeud, an old school point-and-click adventure and Umurangi Generation, a N64-like photography game.

Whatever you’re looking for we know you’ve never seen Indigenous games like these before! See the next generation in Indigenous-made games at Night of the Indigenous Devs!
