Game Creation Society is a student-run organization at Carnegie Mellon University, dedicated to the art and science of making games. Composed of individuals from all across the academic spectrum, GCS provides an environment for people of various disciplines to work together on projects as they would in a real development environment. Whatever your talents are, if you are interested in making games we can find a role for you!

If you want to get involved, come to a weekly meeting, join our mailing list, create a forum account, or contact an officer!

Cram Session and Release

Submitted by tvaughan on Mon, 04/30/2012 - 17:52

We'll be having a last-minute pre-release cram session on Thursday at 6 PM in the alumni lounge in the UC. It'll go until everyone has left.

Release will be Friday at 4:30pm, so definitely have a working build by then! And project leaders, be ready to deliver a post-mortem about your project.

This is a great opportunity to get things done before release and hang out with friends for 6 hours, so we hope to see you there!

Spring Carnival!

Submitted by tvaughan on Mon, 04/16/2012 - 17:51

This week is Carnival, which means we won't be having our normal meeting... but, we'll be doing our usual Arcade event on the fourth floor of Gates pretty much all weekend. The hours will be:

Thursday 2 - 6
Friday 11 - 5:30ish
Saturday 11 - 5:30ish

We'll be setting up our games to show off to the general public. If you want to nominate a game you've worked on for Carnival but haven't yet, LET KATIE KNOW. This is the last opportunity to do so! We will also have a playtesting table for current games-in-progress, so you can come and show your latest build if it's polished enough for the public to play.

Also, if you want to work one of the tables -- either at the main Carnival grounds or the Arcade in Gates -- just let Katie know or put times into the google doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjO4HzqxNbZJdGVoOHg1N0dmR3Q...

Collab session this Saturday from 12 - 6 in NSH 3305

Submitted by tvaughan on Thu, 04/05/2012 - 14:34

Project leaders, please move your weekly meetings to the collab session if it's possible to do so. This is a great chance for everyone in GCS to get some solid hours of work done on projects, and it should be a lot of fun. Lunch will be served. If you're not working on a current GCS project (or don't have anything to do on that project) come hang out and do homework - the more the merrier!
