Game Design and Development at Berkeley

Starting today, GDD is going to be participating in a month-long crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for: - Renting event spaces - Semester showcase food - Financial assistance for industry speakers Interested in contributing? The link to our crowdfunding page is in our bio!

Our first Industry event is happening TOMORROW featuring the one and only, Edmund McMillen! McMillen is the creator of Super Meat Boy and the Binding of Isaac series. Feel free to join us in person or online! instagram.com/p/Co6LCAcLYi7/…

By using the Society app to RSVP, you'd be directly helping us gain the ability to support our club through increasing the club’s inventory of video games (that you can play in the upcoming tournament), supporting club-subsidized social events/merchandise, and much more. 🤩

Our Game Tournament has been rescheduled to this upcoming Sunday! If you plan on coming please RSVP on the Society app. The link to download can be found here: (apps.apple.com/us/app/society… / play.google.com/store/apps/det…).
