Game Dev Society
Game Dev Society is a club dedicated to helping students grow their skills in the area of game development, as well as bettering their understanding of the games industry in New Zealand. We care about strengthening UC's community of game dev enthusiasts, whether that be those with experience, or without. Through our club, you will be able to attend Industry Events, a variety of GameJams to practice your skills, and fortnightly Games Nights where you can get to know other club members!
