Indie games that capture your imagination like Canabalt, Sword & Sworcery and Beat Sneak Bandit seem to come out of nowhere sometimes. But, in the case of other ambitious titles, like Mark Essen's Nidhogg or Terry Cavanaugh's At a Distance actually get commissioned by New York University's Game Center for their yearly No Quarter exhibition.
This year's No Quarter happens in about a month and looks to showcase work from some super-talented game-makers. Who, you ask? How about the guys behind the great SpellTower and the different but still awesome Super Crate Box? That get your attention? Good. There's more info below.
The Third Annual No Quarter Exhibition

Past commissions include Mark Essen's Nidhogg, Robin Arnott's Deep Sea, Terry Cavanaugh's At a Distance, and Ramiro Corbetta's Hokra. This year's No Quarter continues that tradition with games that experiment with and celebrate the art form, featuring new work from:- Zach Gage, creator of SpellTower and Bit Pilot
