Steve is the creative heart and soul of Krome Studios, one of Australia’s biggest games developers, who have been involved in the creation of some of the biggest games from the biggest franchises in the world! From Transformers to Star Wars, Krome have been given the keys to the kingdom when it comes to awesome worlds and settings. Not content with being able to play in other people’s sandbox however, they have been developing their own universe in the form of Blade Kitten, and action romp featuring a saucy pink haired cat girl with a freaking enormous blade!
The game is the brainchild of Steve and has been his pet project for the past few years, he draws creative inspiration and ideas from just about everything and anything. This includes mis-typed words he comes across in documents, signage, emails and other random places that he collects and stores for later reference in an ongoing file. He is active within the comic / anime scene where he writes and draws a weekly web comic, “Blade Kitten” which has been translated into Japanese! This series further details the adventures of Kit Ballard and her sidekick Skiffy in the ever expanding Blade Kitten universe.
Steve studied at the Queensland College of Art where he trained for a BA in Animation. He received the Best Original Character Design award at the 2002, 2004 and 2005 AGDC and in 2005 Steve was awarded the Career Achievement Award, in recognition of his successful accomplishments within the Gaming Industry.
Steve will be speaking as a part of Supanova’s “Director’s Day” on Friday 9th April in Brisbane between 1pm and 7pm. He’ll also be happy to meet fans throughout the rest of the Brisbane weekend at the Krome Studios booth.
