Dare to be different, a leading computer games design competition, has announced its winning entries.
Phoenix Seed, The Carebox team and Voodoo Boody all win prizes worth £2,500. All winners go forward to compete in the BAFTA Ones to Watch award, to be announced this October.
Geoff Heath of NCSoft, who was one of the judges, commented: “The judges were incredibly impressed by the quality of the work they saw. All the teams have demonstrated an extremely high level of achievement and have clearly benefited from testing their games at Dare ProtoPlay.”
Who dares wins
Dare to be Digital is open to students from universities and art colleges and is promoted by the University of Abertay Dundee, which runs the competition in partnership with Scottish Enterprise Tayside and Dundee City Council.
Paul Durrant, Abertay’s Director of Business Development and Project Director of Dare to be Digital, said: "We were privileged to have such a high profile judging panel under Geoff Heath's chairmanship. To bring together industry legends such as David Jones and Miles Jacobsen alongside Disney, AMD, NCR, BBC Scotland and PC Gamer provided a once in a lifetime pitching opportunity to the six teams."
