Spring 2011 Pitch Meeting

Join us for the first meeting of the semester. The Spring 2011 Pitch Meeting will be held on Thursday, January 27th at 5 pm in Olsson 009. Experienced members of the club will pitch five new projects with positions available for programmers, artists, designers, and musicians. If you're not currently a member of the club, this is a great opportunity to see what we're about and get involved in making games. If you're already a member, make sure to try to make it as well, because this is you're best chance to see what projects we'll be working on and to get in on a team.
