Goals
Brown RISD Game Developers advocates the development of video games by students currently enrolled at the university. The groups seeks to provide these students with human, technical, and material resources to aid in their game development interest. BRGD provides ways for students to showcase their work to the rest of the student population and beyond. Most importantly, the group places the highest interest in its members’ personal and career development, through game development workshops known as Game Jams.
Additionally, the group works with the game development classes currently run by students at Brown University. The goal is to institutionalize one or more game development-oriented topics as official courses at Brown.
A Little History…
Originally founded as an interest group within the Brown Computer Science department, the group was initially targeted specifically to computer science concentrators. Since the 2014-2015 school year, however, the group has shifted focus to emulate an independent development team gathering talent from all recesses of Brown and RISD. We believe that anyone interested in video games should join the club and the adventure of making video games.
Weekly Meetings
The easiest way to get involved with BRGD is to come to meetings! It’s never too late to join; whether you’re in the middle of your semester or the middle of your college career, you’re always welcome to stop by! Anyone from Brown or RISD, undergraduate or graduate is welcome, and no experience at all is required.
BRGD meets Saturdays from 12-4pm at the RISD ProvWash building (20 Washington Place (NOT Street)) in rooms 302 and 310 when Covid allows, or else we meet on Discord (email us for a link to join our server!).
