Yogscast, Payload, Revolution and Escape join One Special Day

The Yogscast have joined the growing number of games industry companies who've signed up for SpecialEffect's One Special Day charity initiative.

One Special Day, which will be held on 15 July, is an opportunity for companies to donate 100% of revenue in one or all areas of their business; for example a day's sales of one or more games, or 100% of advertising revenue, in-app purchases or DLC.

The Yogscast have pledged their support as a promotional partner. Mark Turpin, Yogscast CEO and SpecialEffect Vice President, said "Games allow us to escape our world to visit another, experiencing anything and everything and loving every second of it. SpecialEffect give the gift of gaming to people who thought it was lost from them. The tireless work and passion to help that Mick Donegan and the team display never ceases to amaze me."

"We think One Special Day is a fantastic idea and are delighted to get behind the day as a promotional partner and I hope to get the chance to play some of the games on the day."

Payload Studios, Revolution Games and Escape Technology have also joined the event this week as contributory partners. Russ Clarke, Founder of Payload Studios, added "As long-time supporters of SpecialEffect, we're delighted to be joining the One Special Day line-up, helping to turn sales of TerraTech into magic moments for people with disabilities."

One Special Day is open to all companies working in the games industry. To find out more, visit www.onespecialday.org.uk
