About

Stanford Game Development provides a community space for game designers at Stanford to meet and collaborate on game-related projects. Our members include artists, programmers, sound designers, and storywriters.

We specialize in both analog and video game development, from board and card games to digital games, and we are a place to learn the methods behind each.
