About
SGD games are developed in teams led by directors. All projects are developed over the course of a semester. At the beginning of every semester, we have a pitch night where directors will showcase their ideas to the club.
Afterwards, all members will rank the projects and be assigned to one of the teams. Project interest is our main criteria for assigning members, but we also try to make sure the teams are balanced in terms of development experience and skill set. Basically, we want to avoid Project X having every new member of the club or Project Y having all the musicians of the club.

FAQs
When are club-wide meetings?
Every Thursday in Thornton E303 7:00pm – 8:00pm.
When are team meetings?
Every director holds weekly meetings for game-specific development time. Ask in your team channel in the discord to find out what time that is.
How can I contact an officer?
Join the discord and ping or private message anyone with the officer role! If email works better feel free to send a message to [email protected].
Is it just game development?
The club is primarily focused on collaborative game development, but we also hold social nights (with board games and video games), industry guest speaker talks and development workshops. There’s no commitment so come out to whatever interests you!
Game Jams?
We hold at least one game jam a semester where all skill levels in programming, music, art, game design start and finish a game in one weekend.
