Hello, everyone!

First of all, some important information: this week, we’ll be meeting in Campbell Hall 309, not the Union, from 7 – 8:30 pm.

Tomorrow, we’ll be kicking off Speaker Month with Scott Swearingen, Assistant Professor of Design at ACCAD. Scott has worked in the video game industry as a game designer, level designer, and environment artist, and has worked on many games, including Dead Space and The Sims! Come for this awesome opportunity to learn about the industry.

Also, next week is Spring Break, so we won’t be meeting. Have fun and enjoy the respite!

Hello, everyone!

Tomorrow, we’ll be meeting once again in the Ohio Staters, Inc. Traditions Room from 7 – 8:30 pm. We’ll be talking about what’s in store for the rest of the semester, including officer elections, Spring Game Jam, and what we’re calling “Speaker Month” in March.

After those announcements, we’ll play some Jackbox (and any other games you might want to bring) and relax a bit during this tumultuous midterm season.

Have a lovely day, and we hope to see you there!

Hello, everyone!

Tomorrow we’ll be back in the Ohio Staters, Inc. Traditions Room from 7 – 8:30 for a blender tutorial! If you’re interested in learning to make 3D models for games (or other purposes, we don’t judge), blender is an awesome free tool to do so.

Please come with the latest version of blender installed on your device to follow along; you can download it here.

See you there!

Hello, everyone!

First of all, something important: tomorrow’s meeting will be  in Campbell 309, not the Union. We’ll still be meeting from 7 – 8:30, just in a different place.

Tomorrow, we’ll be giving you the floor to show off all the cool things you made at Global Game Jam over the weekend! Come to show off what you made and/or see what the weekend spawned.

See you there!

Hello, everyone!

We’ll be meeting tomorrow once again in The Ohio Staters, Inc. Traditions Room on the second floor of the Ohio Union to talk about Global Game Jam, announce the winners from last week’s concept jam, and talk a little bit about game design via the medium of puzzle games. We hope to see you there!

And speaking of Global Game Jam: it’s this weekend! We’ve reserved Enarson 222 for the weekend, starting at 6:00 pm on Friday and ending at 5:00 pm on Sunday. You don’t have to be there the whole time, and you don’t need any prior game dev experience; game jams are all about learning and having fun (and, hopefully, making a game).

If you want to learn more about GGJ in advance, you can check out their website here. You can also submit your game to the website when you’ve finished it, though you need an account to do so. If you think you might want to submit, you can sign up in advance to save precious game-making time.

Also, if you were there for the last meeting and have yet to vote on the concept jam games, you can do so here. Don’t worry; we’ve turned on the spam filter this time.

Have a lovely day, and see you tomorrow!

Tomorrow, we’ll be meeting once again in the Ohio Staters Inc. Traditions Room in the Ohio Union from 7 – 8:30 pm. We’ll be doing a “Concept Jam”; basically, a game jam but way shorter, where you come up with and flesh out an idea for a game! If you’d like to do some quick concept art, bring your tools and get ready to create. Join us for what will likely be an amusing time.

See you there!

Hello everyone, and welcome back!

Our first meeting for the semester will be tomorrow from 7 – 8:30 pm in the Ohio Staters, Inc. Tradition Room on the second floor of the Ohio Union. This is a new room, and the one we’ll be meeting in for most of this semester, but make sure you pay attention to meeting locations throughout this new year, as they will sometimes change.

With that said, we’re excited to catch up with you all and meet more of you! Come for a brief overview of the club, to meet some new people, and to hear a little bit about the history of games. If you couldn’t make it last semester but can now, we’d be happy to have you tomorrow.

Happy spring semester, and see you tomorrow!

It’s the start of a new semester, which means it’s another semester of Game Creation Club! We are not meeting this week, but our weekly meetings will start next week on January 15th. Just like last semester, meetings will be every Wednesday from 7:00pm – 8:30pm. Unlike last semester the location of these meetings will change! Most meetings, including next week, we will be at the Ohio Union in the Ohio Staters, Inc. Traditions Room, which is on the second floor. We will be sure to give everyone notice of the weeks we aren’t in this room.

Also, Global Game Jam is at the end of this month, and starts on January 31st and ends on February 2nd. We will be giving more information about GGJ in upcoming emails and in our meetings.

We are excited to start a new semester, and whether you are a returning member, or new to the club, we hope to see you all next week!

Tomorrow is our last meeting of the semester! We’ll be playing Jackbox and hanging out to chill a bit as the impending doom of finals nears. Join us for this respite if you can, and thank you all for making this a wonderful semester!

Have a wonderful break, happy holidays, and see you next year!
