About
Game Dev Studio, a subcommittee of UCLA’s Association of Computing Machinery (ACM), is the university’s primary game development club. We offer a collaborative and inclusive environment for students of all skill levels to explore game creation, covering everything from programming and design to storytelling, audio, and art. Through hands-on projects, workshops, and fast-paced game jams, we provide members with practical experience and opportunities to develop key skills in a supportive community. Our flagship program allows students to work in teams and bring original game ideas to life, while our speaker events and industry connections help bridge the gap between academia and professional careers. Whether you're a beginner or experienced developer, Game Dev Studio is where UCLA students turn their passion for games into real-world experience.
