James Stewart

James is a multifaceted artist and entrepreneur who works with all forms of artistic media. As a Game Developer/Designer, 3D/2D/VFX artist, Video Editor, and Musician, James looks forward to applying his skills towards the success of Golden Character Design.

Background with Games

Born into the NES era of gaming, James’ love for games started with the SNES and the Sega Genesis and continues to grow to this day. As the gaming industry evolved, so did James’ love and passion for the designs and fundamentals that make games what they are. Since then, analyzing game fundamentals, art, level design and game pacing has driven him to be the Game Developer he is today.

Background with Game Development

With designing and playing around with basic game design ideas as a child, James eventually pushed that passion and graduated from The International Academy of Design and Technology in 2012 with a BA in Game Production. Looking for some industry experience after college, he found himself doing QA, 3D Art, Level Design and VFX for AAA titles such as, Bioshock Infinite, Civilization, Spec Ops, Evolve, and Grey Goo. After leaving the AAA scene to become an Indie Developer, James focused his energy on learning all skills of Game Development, which has allowed him to create unique and fun experiences for players all over the world.

Personal Life

Living in Las Vegas with his wife (who is also a Game Developer), they sit and work on their own indie game titles, hopefully to one day be able to be developers full-time. James also owns a 3D printing company, Postmortem Emporium, and is an amazing cook.
