The Game Development Club was founded to serve as an environment for people to learn about the process of developing games, to play and understand game design, and to collaborate with others in researching and creating their own games.
What We Do
We provide tools, resources, and many forms of inspiration and motivation to help people learn about the game development process regardless of their level of experience. We also participate in game jams and reach out to industry professionals who can elaborate on their experiences and teach fundamental game making ideas to our club.
Where We Meet
We meet every Thursday at 7:00 PM at the MLK Library's Innovation Center, located on the Lower Level (the basement level) on our Discord Server. Everyone is welcome, even non-students!
Crafting Dreams, Forging Realities.

There are two ways to get to the Lower Level. You can take the elevator and hit the LL button, we'll be to the right after exiting. You can also take the stairs next to the elevator and go down to the very bottom of the stairs. From there go through the doorway and turn right past the elevators. We'll be immediately on your right when entering the Innovation Centre.
You can reach us by coming to one of our meetings. Official club meetings are only held during the Fall semester (August-November) and Spring semester (January-May) of SJSU. We meet every Thursday at 7:00pm in the MLK Library's Innovation Center which is located at the basement level. We are also very active on Discord, so you are welcome to join our server and message any of the current officers or the club advisor about any questions. If not Discord, try any of our other social media platforms.
