Any Teams/Schools Have A "Game Development" Club?

I wish we did. I'm sure if you had a dedicated amount of people, it'd be tons of fun, and you'd see some really cool projects!

I don't believe we have such a club at Grand Blanc High School, but I know in all the programming classes they offer, the midterm/final is to make some sort of game (depending on the difficulty of the class your in, your expected to build a more complex game. Ex: Visual Basic does easy board game like games, while my friend in AP Java is doing a pokemon like game). Now that you mention it though, I think it'd be a cool club/project to start.

I don't know what kind of profit you'd end up making, depending on the type/quality of game you make and how much you sell it for.

Yes my class has the final project, but that is totally different from having a Game Dev team and actually publishing it, you have to focus on fixing bugs, even the smallest one and advertising, and making it actually fun... The past final projects I played were buggy as hell and boring as hell

RPI has a Game Simulation Arts Sciences major and a Game Development club. If you're REALLY serious about it, I would check them out. CMU and Case Western have similar CS - meets - art programs.

I wish we had one. There's been some talks about making an HL2 mod with some of my friends, but my response is always "Show me good concept art and I'll do the programming".

Anyways, a game is pure software. You know what that means if something goes wrong? "BURN THE PROGRAMMERS!!!"
