Mission

Our mission is to offer opportunities to the local game development community of the University of Texas in Austin to gain hands-on experience through self-initiated opportunities and networking with the local game development industry.

Identity

The Electronic Game Developer's Society, a.k.a. EGaDs!, is a student organization for electronic game development at the University of Texas at Austin. EgaDs! was formed in the Spring of 1999 by founder Michael Agustin.

We offer opportunities to network with other students, related organizations, the local development houses and related industry companies. As game development is by no means restricted to those skilled only in programming, we would like to establish and support an environment for students, faculty and staff that focuses on the many disciplines that game development encompasses. These fields are, but are not limited to, art, music, production, writing, and programming.

EGaDs! would also like to foster an atmosphere in which its members can gain knowledge and experience through self-initiated projects and research. We intend to accomplish these goals through industry speakers, on-line discussion groups and other online resources.

In other words, we hope to become the number one university forum for all people who are interested in entering electronic game development industry.
