A former plumber turned games designer has been recognised for his design skills after winning an international competition.
Dan Bavin, of Burnham, has been awarded a prestigious internship with top games developer Ninja Theory after winning a placement through the annual Computer Graphics Student Awards.
The recent University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) games design graduate is a specialist 3d artist.
The 29-year-old created a fully working, game-ready scene with an observatory which houses an abandoned ballroom where an eccentric professor lives.
Dan will begin the paid three month-long internship in August.
He said: “You're usually your own worst critic, so when something awesome like this happens it always comes as a shock."
