Award winner at Dare to be Digital


Well I'm back from Scotland and had a fantastic and very fruitful time.
In the end the game we made came out brilliant, and got great feedback at Protoplay (the exhibition) from the audience and also the judges.

As a result we were awarded the [Adult Swim] award for creativity and unique gameplay!
A superb prize for the team, but also the best outside the top 3 for artists. This made us one of the 5 teams to come away with a prize from DTBD 2010, something we're all very proud of.

Other news about the competition is that our team was one chosen to be featured on a Channel 4 documentary about Dare to be Digital. So over the last 10 weeks we got followed around, interviewed and got to play our game on a cinema screen while they filmed us. It'll be 3x30minute shows being broadcast in spring 2011, and should be brilliant to watch, as by then I'll have forgotten all the stupid stuff I said on camera and can get embarrassed all over again.

All in all it was an amazing experience, met so many great people (competitors, mentors and staff) and got the chance to make a game I can be really proud of.
