AFK Game Development Symposium If one is passionate about something in life, why should they not share their enthusiasm for it with others? Sean Warwick never shied away from his love affair with gaming, and he was able to create a unique in partnership with SFU called, “The AFK” (Away From Keyboard) game development symposium. He is the Founder and Main Coordinator of the event and was also able to gain some serious support and sponsorships from some of the local games companies. Sean provided an opportunity for students who had made game developments to showcase their efforts to a panel consisting of game designers and developers. Sometimes there are resources and people who have high standing in the industry in question that one could be interested in; and opportunities to meet with them and receive opinions does not come by every day. Sean recognized this having understood how many unknown talented individuals existed within the community and created an amazing event for them to be recognized. Sean is an undergraduate student in the School of Interactive Arts and Technology. He has designed several games through his time at SFU including simple children’s exploration games, 3D immersive environments, and morality-based games with numerous narrative endings. Having completed his course work, Sean will be receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree in Interactive Arts & Technology from SFU. Sean continues to advocate for the recognition of other students’ work and his actions are admirable and completely selfless.
