About Scrapmetal Studios
Scrapmetal Studios is a collaborative group of passionate game developers committed to bringing innovative ideas to life. Founded in Spring 2023 at Purdue University as a project under the Game Developers United club, the studio began with the goal of fostering creativity and providing hands-on game development experience to students of all majors. After a few months, our project evolved into something larger, prompting us to officially form Scrapmetal Studios.
Our team operates like an industry-standard game studio, complete with structured workflows, consistent meeting schedules, and the use of professional tools like Jira. We are dedicated to developing our flagship project, *Project Dyscharged*, while also cultivating a supportive environment where members can learn, grow, and contribute meaningfully to the development process.
Scrapmetal Studios emphasizes inclusivity and opportunity, encouraging individuals from diverse backgrounds and disciplines to join us in exploring the exciting world of game development. Whether you're an artist, programmer, designer, or someone simply eager to learn, there's a place for you on our team.
