SUMMARY:NYU Game Center Lecture Series Presents: Alumni Developers Panel
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Jenny Jiao Hsia & AP Thomson (of Beglitched and Consume Me)\, Julián Cordero (of despelote) & Gabe Cuzzillo (of APE OUT\, despelote\, Baby Steps). What do these NYC-area developers have in common? They’ve all released games this year\, earned attention and awards for their efforts… and they’re all graduates of the NYU Game Center\, where many of their projects and collaborations took root in the early days of development! Of course\, releasing a game is a long and complex road\, and all of their acclaimed works grew and evolved over years. What’s it like to release a game in 2025? How does your vision change in unexpected ways? And what’s on the horizon? We’ll discuss all this and more on a panel moderated by Naomi Clark\, chair of the NYU Game Center. \nRSVP HERE

SUMMARY:NYU Game Center Lecture Series Presents Dimma Davidoff
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Dimma Davidoff\, creator of the Mafia game. We will talk about the psychological roots of the game (why was it not created before?)\, ways to look at it from different perspectives (how come it is not about lying?) and lessons opening the new worlds of play (what games would zombies like to play?). \nDimma Davidoff is a psychologist who studies and sometimes makes games. He graduated from the Psychology Department of Moscow State University in 1989. He designed the Contact word game and the Mafia game (which became popular worldwide and led to the creation of the Social Deduction games genre). His current quest is to make cross-species games. \n(This event will also be live streaming at twitch.tv/nyugamecenter!) \nRSVP Here

SUMMARY:The State of NYC Indie: Developing a Better Games Community

This meeting of the minds will discuss why NYC is a great place to make games\, how we can work together to better support NYC game developers\, and more. \nOur Panelists: \nYiyi Zhang (GUMBO) \nKyra Wills-Umdenstock (EGD Collective) \nJess Haskins (NYC Indie Games Social) \nMattia Sicuro (IGDA NYC) \nThe panel is moderated by Tim Rattray\, a writer and documentarian creating a docuseries on the NYC game development scene. A teaser for his team’s ongoing work will be shown here. \nWe thank the NYU Game Center for graciously hosting this independently run event. Come early to check out their Playtest Thursday event! \nEvent Details: \nDate: Thursday\, October 9th\, 2025 \nTime: 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM \nPlace: NYU Game Center Theater — Lecture Hall 202 (370 Jay Street\, Brooklyn\, NY) \nPrice: Donation (Recommmended: $10 | For a free ticket\, use the code GAFREE) \nAfter paying off the expenses for running this event independently [note: we’ve achieved this goal\, thank you!]\, the remaining profits will be split among the organizations of our panelists represent (25%/per). \nFollowing the panel\, we’ll move to Evil Twin’s DUMBO taproom (43 Main St.) to socialize and network.

SUMMARY:NYU Game Center Lecture Series Presents Zeke Virant
DESCRIPTION:Picking Up Things in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle\nJoin us for a talk on how MachineGames developed a first-person game focused on simulating hands-on experiences and adventure over action. This talk goes through the design process for developing the GRIP system (grab\, reach out\, interact\, push)\, the hurdles of encouraging hand-to-hand combat over gun combat\, and the never-ending pursuit of creating authentic Indiana Jones interactions. \nZeke Virant (MFA ’14) is the lead game designer at MachineGames and a graduate of NYU Game Center’s MFA program. With over 10 years of experience in game development\, he has designed and contributed to indie games\, as well as AA and AAA titles. Before games\, Zeke wrote and directed experimental operas and cleaned people’s apartments. \nRSVP HERE\n  \n(This talk will also be live streamed at twitch.tv/nyugamecenter at 7:00pm EST)
