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!

Collab session

Submitted by tvaughan on Fri, 03/02/2012 - 17:39

We'll be having a collab session Saturday from 12 to 6 in NSH 3305. A couple of EA employees will be there at around 3, one of whom is Mike Duke (who visited last semester if some of you remember). They will be offering resume look-overs and mock interviews, so update your resume if you're interested!

Project members, please consider moving your usual meetings to during the collab session - it's a nice chance for everyone to work together and have fun and hold hands singing Kumbaya. Well, maybe not that last part.

There WILL be food arriving at 2pm. Like, pasta food.

USC looking for Artists and Programmers

Submitted by tvaughan on Thu, 02/23/2012 - 14:59

USC interactive media team is looking for artists and programmers. The team is a student pitch project, and more information from their e-mail to us is included below:

"Hi Evan,

I'm working with a USC MFA candidate on her thesis as producer, and we're seeking contributors--two programmers and up to three animators--from outside USC to contribute to the project to be completed and shown this May.
In a sentence: Navigate an underwater ecosystem through the eyes of three creatures in "Intimation", a "first-person character experience".
For programmers, the ideal candidate would be well-versed with Javascript or C# for Unity, and would have experience implementing 3D animations. The project calls for AI work and pathing in a water/liquid environment.

We'd like programmers to commit to a contribution of 5-10 hours per week, but we're flexible.\
