1/22 Meeting

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!

1/15 Meeting

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!

New Year, New Semester!

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!

12/4 Meeting

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!

11/20 Meeting

Tomorrow, we’ll be meeting in Campbell 309 from 7 – 8:30 to showcase everything you’ve made for the month long projects! Remember, you don’t need to have a full game to show; this is all about sharing the cool things you’ve done, seeing everyone’s ideas, and talking about all the fun bugs we hit along the way.

On a more serious note, we have been made aware that a white supremacist group had planned to meet in the area tomorrow in response to a speaker that was coming to campus. From our understanding, the speaker and consequently the hijack have been cancelled, but we wanted to make sure you all were aware of the situation. To be on the safe side, please exercise caution while coming to Campbell, and let us know if you ever feel unsafe or uncomfortable.

11/13 Meeting

Tomorrow, we’ll be giving you the whole meeting to work in groups on your month long projects. We’ll be meeting from 7 – 8:30 in Campbell 309 as always. Hope to see you there!

Next week, we’ll be bringing this project to a close (at least officially) and holding a showcase for everything you’ve created. By no means do you need a completed game to share, nor do you have to stop working on your games here; we’re just excited to see what you all have come up with so far and let you share that with others.

11/6 Meeting

We hope you all had an appropriately spooky Halloween! We have an exciting meeting for you all tomorrow: Alex Merkel from Button Punch Games will be coming to speak to us about his experience making a game and working in the industry. Come to Campbell 309 from 7 – 8:30 for this awesome opportunity!

Also, quick reminder that the Game Creation Club shirts designed by Sydney are available for purchase here. Follow the link to show your support of the club and get an awesome piece of clothing.

10/30 Meeting

Tomorrow we’ll be meeting again in Campbell 309 from 7 – 8:30. We’ll be talking about art style and character design in games, and will again be taking time at the end of the meeting to work in groups on our month long projects. We hope to see you there!

Next week, we have a speaker coming! Alex Merkert from Button Punch Games will be joining us to talk about working as a game dev and what it was like to make and publish his game, Spinball.

Also: we have T-shirts! Sydney’s winning design is available for purchase here. Thanks to everyone who submitted a design; it was a real treat to see what you all came up with.

And last but not least: Happy Halloween, ghoulish gamers!

10/23 Meeting

Tomorrow we’ll be back in Campbell 309 from 7 – 8:30 to vote on t-shirt designs, talk about design documents, and work on month-long projects in groups. Join us for a (hopefully) fun and productive meeting.

Also, if you have a t-shirt design you’ve yet to submit, please upload it here before tomorrow’s meeting. We want to see all your wonderful creations!
