  • Steve began working on Creatures - originally envisaged as a DOS game - in late 1992. In 1994 Millennium set up a subsiduary, Cyberlife, to develop his ideas, and he became Director of Technology soon after the release of the game. Steve organized and spoke at the Digital Biota 2 conference in Cambridge in 1998. Steve became leader of the Cyberlife Institute R&D lab upon its founding in late 1998. The Institute closed when he left Cyberlife at the end of 1999, although he gained permission to use the name for his new company, Cyberlife Research. See history and interviews for more information. Steve was married to Ann Grand, who also worked for Cyberlife Research. They have one son, Christopher. Steve has begun work on an new Virtual Life game, called Grandroids. Steve resides in Flagstaff, Arizona and has worked on creating an intelligent living machine called Lucy in a custom-built mechanical body shaped like an orangutan. He managed to get £65,000 towards this goal from NESTA - a fortunate benefactor, as he didn't personally make a huge amount of money from the success of Creatures, being 'just an employee' (although he did have some share options in Cyberlife). He released Simbiosis open source under the release name Simergy on SourceForge. He was also involved in the NESTA Create-a-Creature project, and is a wiki user.

Steve devint ensuite meneur du département R&D Cyberlife Institute à sa fondation fin 1998. L'institut ferma à son départ de Cyberlife, fin 1999, bien qu'il fut autorisé à en utiliser le nom pour sa nouvelle compagnie, Cyberlife Research. Se référer à l'histoire et aux entretiens Steve vit à Somerset, au Sud-Ouest de l'Angleterre, et a travaillé à la réalisation d'une machine vivante intelligente nommée Lucy dans un corps mécanique sur-mesures, ressemblant à un orang-outan. Il obtint un financement de 65 000£ dans cette optique de la part du [1] - une donation fort à propos, étant donné qu'il n'avait pas personnellement gagné énormément d'argent grâce au succès de Creatures, vu qu'il "était qu'un employé" - bien qu'il ait eu quelques stock options de Cyberlife. Il travaille actuellement sur Simbiosis. Il a aussi été impliqué dans le projet Create-a-Creature du NESTA, et fréquente le wiki anglophone. Steve est marié à Ann Grand, qui travaille également pour Cyberlife Research. Ils ont un fils, Christopher.
