Description:

Stephen Warner is a British 3D developer, currently based in Leamington Spa, West Midlands, and has an MSc in Video Game Development with Birmingham City University. Along with a BSc(hons) in Computer Game Design from the Univeristy of Essex.

History:

Since the early days of his life, Stephen has enjoyed video games, and when it became a possiblity for him to learn how to create them with the course provided by the University of Essex and hosted by South Essex College. He realized that creating environments and the intricate asset details of a level were what was interesting to him, and decided to specialize in environment and asset design.

Projects:

After graduating from his BSc (Hons) in Video Games Design, he went on to refine his programming skills so that he could apply for the Gamer Camp MSc in Video Game Development as another means to get into the video games industry.

During this time he had to rapidly learn how to program with C++ and make use of the game engine framework Cocos-2DX and later learn how to use Unreal Engine professionally. These were not small challenges but he managed to overcome them and achieve a distinction level of work for his master's final major project and was awarded the final grade of merit for his work on the course.
