Dundee-based games designers sweep BAFTA Games Awards
Scottish computer games designers have picked up three BAFTAs at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.
A team of students from the University of Abertay Dundee has won the very first BAFTA "Ones to Watch" Award.
Team ‘Voodoo Boogy', comprising five students on Abertay's computer games technology and computer arts degree courses, picked up their award at the British Academy Video Games Awards in London on 23 October.
Voodoo Boogy are one of the three winning teams from Abertay's Dare to be Digital competition this year. The three teams were the sole nominees for the BAFTA ‘Ones to Watch' award, instituted by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts in association with Dare to be Digital.
The team members of Voodoo Boogy are: Malcolm Brown and Robert Clarke, graduates in computer games technology; Peter Carr and Finlay Sutton, graduates in computer arts; and Lynne Robertson, currently in her fourth year of computer arts.
Voodoo Boogy were competing for last night's prize against a team from Edinburgh University and another composed of Chinese students.
