Mizuguchi joins faculty at Keio University
Rez creator starts project professor role at graduate school of media design
Published on
Tetsuya Mizuguchi has joined Keio University's graduate school of media design as a project professor.
Mizuguchi, the influential game designer behind Rez and Lumines, started in the role on October 1. The position will also draw from his work as a musician and a visual artist.
The news that Mizuguchi had stepped away from full-time development at his studio, Q Entertainment, emerged last month. Nobuhiko Shimizu, the studio's director, told Eurogamer that Mizuguchi had become "more of a spokesperson" for the company.
However, while Mizuguchi's new role will be relatively broad, a biography on Keio University's states that he will continue to develop game projects.
