Welcome to MEGA!


The Makers of Entertaining Games Association is one of the leading student organization for Game development in the country. 

Founded in Fall 2008, we are part of the University of Southern California and touch on all aspects of game development. MEGA gives those who have a predisposition for making games a place to help their ideas come to fruition and their knowledge about game design and development to expand.  We are an organization that not only plays, makes, and discusses game development, but also helps teach and promote game development theory and practice.

When does MEGA meet?
MEGA meets every Friday at 5pm in SCA 203.

What does MEGA do?
MEGA organizes and oversees:
  • Guest Lectures from Industry Professionals
  • Student-run sessions on Game Development Technologies
  • Videogame Creation Competitions
  • Board Game Creation Competitions
How do I join MEGA?
Start by joining the Facebook group. That is the primary way we keep our members up to date on what we are doing. Then register for our talent Database.  This will help us get you connected with other designers, programmers, artists, sound designers, etc.
