We're a casual, friendly community with a common interest in game development and game art! No matter if you do it casually, on a course or are completely new to game development we welcome you to join and develop with us. We aim to provide a low pressure environment and to enjoy it as a social, community experience as well as a hobby!
Presenting...
The GDS demo disc!
Across the year, we'll be making a game each (or in a group!) ultimately for inclusion on a demo disc that we'll release near the end of the year! We'll start off with game engine introductions, and broaden it out across the year to support sessions, talks and outings to assist you in the process.
We meet every Wednesday at 2pm-4pm in the Roland Levinsky Building (RLB), Room 209! Additionally, we'll be running taster sessions on the 27th of September and 4th of October!
We'll be looking at some of your ideas and skillsets from the Discord ??demo-disc-discussion and continuing group finding.
Don't worry if you missed last session! We will be happy to catch you up!
Open to all! An Aseprite Introduction session teaching how to work with Aseprite, the animated sprite editor and pixel art tool. We will be teaching you about its interface and tools, alongside some tips for how to get the most out of each pixel.
Even if you're not experienced with pixel art, this is a great beginner friendly way to learn a new skill!
Roll up, Roll up, to the Festival of JaNk! Bring your jankiest, most bare bones itch.io discoveries and show them off in our celebration of the unrefined and cobbled together. Share in the laughter and joy that an absolute mess of a game can bring!
In this session we will be looking at Itch.io games discovered by our members and using them as inspiration for our own projects. After this we will be winding down and hanging out with racing games, fighting games and some others, if you have controllers (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox) please feel free to bring them!
Open to all! An Audio Introduction session teaching how to work with Famitracker! Its great for making retro music from the NES and Famicom system era. We will teach you about its interface and tools.
If you have your own headphones we highly recommend you bring them as the computers in the room don't have speakers, however if you don't have any then don't fear, we can provide some.
Even if you're not experienced with audio, this is a great beginner friendly way to learn!
Come hang out and talk projects! We'll be taking a look at some of the work being done and offering support. Sometimes all you need is someone to give you a thumbs up or point out the missing semi-colon, so don't miss out on this opportunity!
