UPGRADE is Penn's premier game development student group. Every year, we produce two club-wide games, one every semester. The second semester game is published on Steam with your name in the credits! Anyone can join our club, and we do not require applications.

We provide the resources, opportunities, and environment to foster passion and creativity. To that end, we host yearly game jams, organize training workshops, present speaker events, travel to fun gaming collabs/trips (such as GDC and PAX EAST), and more!

Whether you like programming, drawing, modeling, writing, composing, or anything, we welcome anyone interested in any aspect of game dev. And while previous experience with any of these roles is expected, we will get you up to speed and you'll hit the ground running with your very first game in a matter of days!

Meeting times: Saturdays 2pm - 4pm. Additional checkup meetings/office hours will be held throughout the week.
