No Quarter

Each year the No Quarter Exhibition premieres a selection of games commissioned by the NYU Game Center from independent game designers and developers at a free, public event.  For more videos of No Quarter Exhibitons, check out our Youtube channel. Since it began in 2010, No Quarter has helped fund the production of dozens of games in total, including award winners like Nidhogg and Hokra. Developers who have premiered new work at No Quarter include Terry Cavanagh, Zach Gage, Margaret Robertson, Ramiro Corbetta, Sophie Houlden, Bennett Foddy and Jan Willem Nijman. Each new work was created for the specific, social gallery setting of the Exhibition which brings out hundreds of people and is one of the anchoring events of the New York City independent game community.
