Hey! At 1pm, we’re sharing the remixes we made, looking at more virtual concert stuff, and then getting started on a really cool topic: environment art!! You’ll get to see breakdowns of professional projects from start to finish, some stylized concept art (inspiration maybe?), and then a quick intro to Unity— the game engine we’ll be using to build our own scenes. Come hang with us: discord.gg/sQUjMN6

It’s a free-form meeting, so speak up whenever you want! Show us what you’ve been working on, send cool links/videos, talk about class, whatever.

See you! ^^

In an hour we’ll be showing off our AR challenge entries and starting a new challenge: remixing music samples using Python / Javascript! Hopefully it’ll be a good intro to programming so we can move on to the bigger topics you guys asked for. See you @ 1!

(And it’s okay if you didn’t get around to the AR challenge. It’s been a busy 2 weeks. You can still come!)

So…. welcome back?

We definitely dropped off the face of the earth after the shutdown. It was a weird time – it’s still weird, tbh – but the shock is wearing off. If you’re not ready to think about clubs yet, that’s okay. But if a creative push sounds like what you need right now, come hang with us tomorrow (9/17) at 1 PM over Discord. We’re going 100% online and trying something new.

Every 2 weeks, we’ll announce a new art form (ex. videography, games, interactive art), team role (sound designer, environment artist), or app – then challenge you to make a quick project on it. These will always come with instructions or YouTube tutorials, so you won’t need any experience. Then, the next time we meet, we’ll showcase what people came up with + talk about what it was like before moving onto another one.

Since this is our 1st meeting of the semester, it’ll mostly be an introduction. You’ll get to know the software we use, ask us questions & let us know what you want to see happen.

Also, please feel free to come + go as much as you need to!! No one is getting left behind or kicked out if they miss a meeting. The whole idea is to go at your own pace, but still have a place to connect if you want it. Take your time, ask for help in #technical if you need it, and don’t stress yourself. :)

Thursdays @ 1PM

EXP Club is meeting tomorrow, March 5th!

• Try out an augmented reality portal (and see how it works)
• Create your own Snapchat filter
• Open this multiplayer 1st-person shooter in the Unity game engine, or
• Help us start making a VR scene for the Oculus Quest.

We’ll be in V-314 as usual @ 1pm!

There will be no meeting in V-314 tomorrow.

Welcome back from break! ✨

Our 1st meeting of 2020 is tomorrow, February 13th @ 1pm. (Room V-314 as always.) We’re shifting away from the “lessons” structure this semester and jumping into making YOUR ideas happen, so come get inspired and find your team :) It’ll be more than just indie games this year— you can explore virtual reality worlds, interactive art, Snapchat filters, motion controls, or any project that excites you.

(Also it was really cool seeing so many faces at Club Fair last week! You guys nearly filled our sign-up sheet. Looking forward to see you!)

EXP Club now has a Discord server! If you ever have questions about Unity/C#, suggestions for the club, project ideas you need a team for, or just want to show off whatever you’re working on, here’s the link:

(Good luck on your finals!!)

Hey guys! Today’s gonna be a beginner’s guide to the Unity game engine and scripting in C#. By the end of the tutorial, you’ll know how to use keyboard input to make a player walk & jump. The meeting’s in V-314 at 1pm, just like last week. See you there!
