It currently consists of nine clubs and is continuously expanding to encompass more university communities. With a small team of three employees, the SGDA operates as a non-profit organization with a revenue of $2.5 million. SGDA serves a vibrant community of students passionate about game development. Their mission is to provide a platform for students to explore the diverse disciplines within the game development industry. They achieve this by facilitating valuable networking opportunities between students and professional developers. Through various initiatives, SGDA aims to raise awareness for game development education and encourage members to nurture their passion for game creation. The organization also fosters a collaborative environment where developers can learn from each other's unique approaches to game development. A key differentiator of SGDA is its focus on student-led initiatives. Each member club brings its own perspectives and expertise, contributing to a rich and diverse community.
