TWO talented game developers from Barnsley have won a prestigious BAFTA Game Award.
Will Todd and James Carbutt won the British Game Award at the BAFTA Games Awards on Tuesday.
Their game, 'Thank Goodness You’re Here!', draws inspiration from Barnsley Archives’ online films, which led them to create a fictional town in their game reflecting Barnsley and its communities.
Council leader Sir Steve Houghton said: “I’d like to say a huge congratulations to Will and James for winning this prestigious award.
“It’s brilliant to see local people achieving their ambitions, and even more so with our incredible borough and communities being the inspiration behind this.
“I look forward to seeing how their creativity will continue to inspire future generations.”
