About

Who We Are

Welcome to Game Creation Club at The Ohio State University!  We are an OSU student organization that is open to the public and are officially recognized by the IGDA [International Game Developer's Association - www.igda.org]. The Game Creation Club (GCC), is an organization dedicated to providing a diverse group of students the opportunity to collaborate on the production of video-games (any/all platforms), from initial concept to final product. Everyone involved with the organization is treated and respected as equals, as all components of creating a game are important to the overall quality reflected in the production.  GCC is providing the resources, assistance, forum, and more for students to join project groups to create games.  Each project group begins with one or a group of students that have the same interests or ideas for a new game.  These students then pull as many other members as there are that are interested in their concept for their project and begin development.  We encourage open, community based projects that share their ideas, thoughts, progress, and more with everyone using the GCC website and forums.  Our advice for projects is located on our projects page.

We also strive to provide up to date information regarding the game industry.  This includes internship postings, job advice, industry stats and information, speaker/presentation dates/info, and more.

  • Student Friendly Club! — FREE! No dues, no huge commitment, fun events and atmosphere!
  • We are a newer club to OSU and are continuously growing
  • We accept anyone and everyone interested in joining regardless of your expertise.
  • Games require much more than just art graphics and programming… it also needs story, design, concepts, marketing, business, and more!

We need constructive criticism and active participation. So do not hesitate to share your opinion on any topic in an appropriate and respectful manner.

We hope that all our members enjoy this group. Feel free to contact us with any questions at gamecreationclub@yahoo.com.
