Past and future to be celebrated at city’s Game Design Awards

An illustrious gaming awards competition is coming to Tayside.

The Game Design Awards, which are being launched by DC Thomson, have been described as a celebration of games design, both locally and nationally.

The event will also celebrate Dundee’s games heritage and its recent designation as a Unesco City of Design.

Nominations are now open for the competition and close on July 14.

A shortlist will be announced on July 28 and the winners’ ceremony will take place in the city on September 7.

Categories include best character design, best experimental game and the players’ choice category voted for by the public.
