Our journey began in 2016 when Brooklyn Gamery, led by Catt Small, organized a groundbreaking roundtable discussion with a small group of developers. This meeting laid the foundation for the first Game Devs of Color Expo, a revolutionary showcase of underrepresented game talent. The inaugural expo was held at Microsoft's headquarters in Times Square before finding its home at the historic Schomburg Center in Harlem.
As our community grew, so did our impact and partnerships. In 2019, we reached a significant milestone by offering our first grant, the Humble Bundle Game Creator of Color award. Our first award winner, Ethan Redd, received $15,000 to develop a Humble Original game. Since then, we've proudly raised over $400,000 to support game developers of color.
When the COVID-19 pandemic emerged, we successfully pivoted to an online-only format. This transition has demonstrated our resilience and adaptability, and it has led to doubled attendance numbers and increased engagement each year. Our mission transcends physical boundaries.
