Game Creation Society Budget
FY2015 (July 1, 2014 - June 30, 2015)
Creating a video game requires a wide variety of talents. The Game Creation Society is about bringing together those talents. We proudly welcome programmers, artists, level designers, writers, project managers, sound effects technicians, composers, play testers, interface designers, producers, directors and marketing gurus alike to work together to create fun, interesting games.
