Judge Andy Nuttall said: “I was impressed with the level of quality at this year’s Dare, which just keeps on getting better.

“Each team showed determination to impress both through their games and their pitches, with plenty of originality and technical achievement on show.

“It was difficult to pick three to go forward, and choosing one for the ultimate Ones to Watch award at the Baftas will be particularly tough.”

Abertay’s Principal Bernard King added: “Dare to be Digital is recognised as the number one new talent spotting event for the computer games industry.

“Students arrive with ideas, boundless energy and enthusiasm, and leave with new confidence and with much-sought-after experience on their CVs.

“More than 80% of those who take part go on to employment in the industry.”
