Ethan Redd — the creative leader of NYC-based independent game production house Virtuoso Neomedia — visits NYU Game Center to speak about his design practice and vision for the future of his studio. Virtuoso Neomedia is the developer of the uber-stylish dogfighter Zodiac XX and the upcoming mach speed combat-sport Raddminton. Ethan will dive into Virtuoso’s ongoing work to change the traditional mindsets around the action game as merely a vehicle for mechanics – and to demonstrate the genre’s potential to innovate as an expressive, sensorial, narrative form.

The NYU Game Center Lecture Series will be happening in-person and streaming online for the Fall 2021 Lectures! Talks will take place live at the NYU Game Center with a very limited in-person audience of current NYU students and faculty only. The Lectures will be simultaneously live-streamed at twitch.tv/nyugamecenter. All lectures are free both in-person and online.

The NYU Game Center would like to thank our event sponsors: Fresh Planet, Take-Two Interactive, Dots, and Empire State Development. Their generous support makes our events possible.
