Hello
My name is Nic Stepp, I am a graduate from the University of California, Santa Cruz with a B.A. in Art and Design, Games and Playable Media. I have been into environment design since 2022 and got the idea to focus on this field from my enjoyment in landscaping photography from high school. I am a Blender enthusiast but have been experimenting with Unreal Engine and UEFN.
My Story
I grew up in Lancaster, California, there is not much to do in the town except go shopping. I found gaming at a really young age from my aunt showing me Super Smash Bros on the Nintendo 64 at 3 years old. Since then I became addicted to playing games, with the PS2 being my first console. With the release of Modern Warfare 2 in 2009, I became addicted to Call of Duty and then the FPS genre, getting thousands to ten thousand hours of game time in the genre. Since high school I branched off more and tried horror games such as Resident Evil and Until Dawn and immediately fell in love with it. Another big genre I started to get into is open world games such as God of War and Spider-Man. All these genres I absolutely love and would love to make any game around these or even experiment with a genre I never even played.
