Global Game Jam

Global Game Jam kicks off tonight, and for the first time the Student Game Developers are organizing a site! We'll be sure to post pictures from the event.

Spring Pitch Meeting Scheduled

SGD's Spring Pitch Meeting has been scheduled for 5pm in Olsson 005. We'll have an SGD-Record seven projects this semester, and they look very diverse and fun. If you're interested in being on a team, come to the pitch meeting!

Kinect Pong Uploaded

SGD is back to uploading completed games, and we have uploaded Kinect Pong for anyone with a Kinect who is interested in playing! Our team was smaller than SGD's standards, but the project turned out to be a great success. We had really dedicated members, and ended up with a fully playable game with three levels of AI.

You can download the game here.

ESE and Karts for Kids: Success!

The End of Semester Expo and Karts for Kids were both highly successful, thanks to everyone who came out! Stay tuned for some info about the games that we made this semester...
