Five Huddersfield teams demonstrated their original games at the annual competition and between them came home with two first-place, two second-place and three third-place prizes.

The Showcase sees leading game studios judge the art, animation, narrative, design, technology, game design and teamwork behind the students’ creations.

There were seven categories: Game Art and Animation, Game Technology, Game Narrative Design, Game Level Design, Game Design, Game Audio and Best Team. Projects were judged by leading games studios including Distinctive Games, Pitstop Productions, Red Kite Games, Revolution Software, Sumo Digital and Atomhawk.
