The Game Design & Development Club (GDDC) is a recognized student campus group at UofT St. George Campus. This is our official public page.
The club was formed in the fall of 2003, under the name Game Programming Club (GPC), to attract students with an interest in video games and video game development. It has since evolved into a club dealing with both the programming side of game development as well as design and other aspects. Sign up for our e-mail list here: http://eepurl.com/bNYzJr
