Last week I joined the Abertay Game Development Society, which I’m so happy about. Everyone involved has been saying “This should have been done such a long time ago” and its true, someone really should have been working on this YEARS ago.

This week we were assigned to groups and asked to come up with a concept, something we can work on as a team and develop in our spare time. The concept we decided to go for is kind of awesome, and we decided to use Unity to create the game. Our team is composed of a mix of first and second year students, and we all seem to have varying skill levels and programming knowledge, but its still going to be fun

From an academic point of view this is going to be a great opportunity to be working with a new platform I’ve never  tried previously, and from a personal point this is going to be fun and a great addition to my portfolio XD

As for the New Module part of the headline, I’m now studying two new modules in addition to Console Game Development and Graphics Programming. These are Game Engines and Computer Operating Environments. Should be fun
