Welcome Ryan Lesser as Art Director
We’re thrilled to welcome Ryan Lesser to OtherSide as the Boston studio Art Director! Ryan is an industry veteran, having been Art Director at Harmonix for almost 2 decades. A few of us have worked with him before and we consider ourselves fortunate to be doing so again. Fun fact about Ryan: he created the SHODAN key art for System Shock 2! He will help wrap up the remaining art work on Underworld Ascendant, as well as lead the art direction for upcoming projects.
Ryan’s Bio: Ryan Lesser is a visual artist, game designer, musician, and teacher, living in Providence, RI. He is a graduate and on the faculty of Rhode Island School of Design. Ryan has been creating video games since 1996, best known for his design and art direction on such influential games as Guitar Hero and Rock Band. During his 19 years as Art Director and Creative Lead at Harmonix, he helped to create the patented 3D musical interface that would be used in many music-based games. In 2014, Ryan founded Wild Power Games, where he develops and crowdfunds board games and video games such as High Heavens and Streets of Steel.
In this month’s newsletter, we’re excited to tell you more about three key aspects of the game: the constantly evolving nature of The Stygian Abyss, player progression, and a bit more about narrative aspects.
