A TEENAGER from Basildon has received a prestigious Bafta award for her “evocative” computer game design.

Camylle Tuliao, 14, won the 10 to 14 age category at the Bafta Young Game Designers Awards, in London, for her game Dreams.

The adventure game is set in four different locations, Imaginati, Reve, Nightmare and Limbo. The objective of the game is to progress through each “world” using one of three fighting styles, Imagi (magic), Logio (science) and Void (dream manipulating).

Judges described her design as “an evocative concept that intertwined unique themes to create a psychological thriller”.

In addition to the award, she will have her work developed by gaming professionals, and have the opportunity to pitch her game to Sony.

Camylle, along with three other young designers to win an award, will also enjoy a tour at Shepperton Film Studios and receive copies of every computer game released this year by Warner Bros.

In a message of support to the young finalists the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, who is president of Bafta, said: “I encourage you – our stars of tomorrow–to keep exploring your creativity and see where it takes you.

“A successful career in one of the fastest growing and most creative industries in this country is very much a possibility, regardless of your background or your gender. Judging by the potential you have already shown, your future, and the future of British games, is very bright indeed."

Harvey Elliott, chairman of the Bafta games committee, said: “The Bafta YGD awards ceremony has shown once again the depth of amazing talent available to the games industry.

“The young people involved in all 40 shortlisted games, as well as today’s very worthy winners, deserve this recognition of their work and potential.”

Camylle received her award from Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely from Essex based dance troupe and former Britain’s Got Talent winners, Diversity.
