Back in 2015, I saw the Black Candle a film by @mkasante and finally started to understand what Kwanzaa was about.

Between 2016 - 2018, as an effort to get more awareness around #blackgamedev I gave out games developed by Black devs during the week of #Kwanzaa It was a lot of fun. But the last 2 years I’ve been too busy to do a fun giveaway, and that has sucked.

There is a monstrous level of work needed to ship a game. Yet 2020 may go down as the year with the most games released by Black led teams, ever. Which is HUGE.

Here are those games, and where to support them. (& if I missed some, please let me know!)

The excellent avoid ‘em up Hyperdot by @DarkaysTG was released in Jan, kicking off the year with some hope!
