Nevin Flanagan

Assistant Teaching Professor, Becker School of Design/Tech

A long-time fantasy reader and tabletop gamer who gravitated towards digital RPGs and Japanese media (manga and anime) during college, Nevin Flanagan is interested in games as a form of immersive storytelling as well as creating new systems of strategy and mental exercise. His focus is on programming and other technical development skills with a particular interest in user interfaces, but he also serves as the program’s advocate for physical and table-top game development. He holds an MFA in interactive media from Becker College as well as an M.S. in interactive media & game development from Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Most interesting games include Odin Sphere, Alundra, the Grandia franchise, and Return to Dark Castle, as well as the Cortex Prime system.
