TWO Ealing borough teenagers were among the winners at the BAFTA Young Game Designers awards at the weekend.

Elizabeth Orji-Smith, 17, from Ealing, won the Game Concept Award (15-18 years) for Creatively Bankrupt, a role player game about a small animation crew turned part-time Robin Hood heist group! Can they unlock the vault that holds the creative bounty?

She said: “My concept came from a lot of different sources, including friends and podcasts, and I had had the idea of a heist game in my mind for a while.”

Max Robinson, 14, from Acton, won the Game Making Award (10-14 years for LASERASE: Demolition In The Future, a puzzle game where the player uses a mirror to reflect a laser at targets to blow them up and avoid lethal TNT.

Max said: “The biggest thing I learned was how to code my game, building from the first idea. When I came up against challenges I took a break, went away and came back with new ideas until it worked.”

 

Younger brother Alex, 12, also made it to the finals with his game, Far-fetched Phantoms.
