The Game Developers’ Club was formed by a few Software Engineering and Game Design students in the year 2004 to bring together students from all walks of life and from all faculties into the gaming world, as well as games development field. GDC had been organizing fun activities which provide awareness by encouraging the members. The Club believes that all members are passionate about games develo
pment and as well as gaming and that is why GDC also acts as a motivational organization to keep the fire burning. The most satisfying part to be a GDC member is to witness the growth of every member. The Club has been rapidly expanding and the number of members is increasing every year.
