What is our Mock Studio?

Our mock studio is unique to UCSC clubs and organizations; we meet every Friday from 6-8pm (PST) to develop original games.
Each academic year, the GDA runs a six-month-long Mock Studio, producing one playable game from the ground up. Members pitch their game ideas in the Fall, and development begins in the Winter quarter in a series of sprints.
