Alongside our Awards, we’re expanding our learning programme, and we now hold more than 250 events a year across the UK and US. These include a multitude of games events and initiatives, including developer Q&As, masterclasses and lectures; most of which are filmed and made available on our BAFTA Guru website. I encourage you to take part, and spread the word – we’re determined to attract the best young talent to the industry, and inspire them to achieve the same level of excellence we honour here tonight.

One of our most established games initiatives is the highly-regarded BAFTA Young Game Designers competition, now entering its fourth year. As well as winning a trip to SCE London Studio, the most recent winners, Charlie Hutton-Pattemore and Christopher Purdy, visited Abertay University, where Charlie had the opportunity to develop his game with a previous Ones To Watch winner. Both Charlie and Christopher’s prototype games are on display this evening.

We’re also focused on women in games. Although girls represented a good third of our Young Game Designers entrants last year, our recent Career Pathways survey revealed that young women were markedly

less likely than young men to consider a career in games and, more worryingly, were more likely to be discouraged from entering the industry. So, we have set up a Girls Into Games group, bringing together games professionals, educational establishments, youth groups and careers advisers to understand the issues, showcase best practice and encourage greater engagement.

And so to tonight’s Awards. This year we waived the entry fee for the first game that companies submitted, which resulted in an overall increase in entries, particularly from indie developers. We also introduced a new category – British Game – to celebrate creative development here in the UK. Good luck to all tonight’s nominees.

Thank you to BAFTA’s energetic production team, including Kelly Smith, Clare Brown and Sophie Deveson, and to our wonderful host, Dara O Briain. Thanks also to the BAFTA juries and the Games Committee, thoughtfully chaired by Harvey Elliott.

And thank you all for your support and exceptional work.

Enjoy the ceremony.

There is a suspicious coincidence that unites the pioneering business tycoons of the Internet age. They all found excuses to quit university.

In 1983, Valve co-founder Gabe Newell was comparing a probable degree certificate against the chance to do some real work (at Microsoft on something called Windows) and ultimately opted for the latter. It was only Harvard, anyway. No biggie.

As with Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs, Newell’s fateful decision to drop out of college started him on the road to his tremendous industry success.

But in between those milestones are hundreds of small, untold stories that define his true legacy – stories such as the day Valve formed as a small start-up team, or the time its first breakthrough game arrived at retail,

or the quiet genesis of a revolutionary idea that had formed in Newell’s mind.

Rarely are we privy to such accounts from the man himself. Newell is practically allergic to talking about his story, although on being informed of his BAFTA Fellowship, he did say: “It’s an honour for myself and everyone at Valve to be presented such an award by one of the world’s most respected organisations. Valve owes a tremendous thanks to many in the UK. I look forward to accepting this prestigious honour on behalf of everyone in our community.”

The impact of Newell’s career is unmistakable: such as how the Steam platform has single-handedly revitalised the PC market. Or how Half-Life 2 and Portal 2 are discussed in critic circles with an almost

sacred reverence. Or how, per employee, Valve is more profitable than Google and Apple. And how numerous industry professionals confess they’d drop everything for a chance to work there.

Peter Molyneux, a BAFTA Fellow himself, says: “Every design meeting we have, someone references a groundbreaking Valve title.”

While Tim Sweeney, the Epic Games founder and tech innovator, says: “I remember in 2002, Valve showed me Steam and talked about this vision for downloadable Internet games in the future. At first my response was, ‘Hmm, so you’re going to try to sell games through the Internet… How’s that going to work?’ It is amazing how Steam took hold and transformed the games industry, opened up gaming to the masses and eliminated big monopolies from the picture.”

Newell commands respect from the most important professionals across the games industry, but perhaps more telling is what the customers make of him.

In November last year, users of games forum 4Chan visited Valve’s Seattle studio to hand over an enormous

card and gift box for Newell’s 50th birthday. In the box was a military helmet (long story!) and above the hundreds of signatures on the card read the message, “Happy Birthday Gaben” – the intentionally misspelt name is, naturally, another long story…

Simply put, Newell is adored by gamers because he builds new markets, new models and new structures with their priorities in mind. It’s not just about selling them games. It’s about changing the tides of the industry in the direction that they want to swim.

That’s why Newell reads all his emails ([email protected]). He wants to know the direction his customers are pointing towards. Sometimes he just wants to read your haiku poems. Other times he wants to address your important questions. But there’s never a working day when he doesn’t seek feedback and communication with his market.

The games industry has thrived since the day it was born with that unique selling point of ‘interactivity’. Newell is the first businessman to fully understand that entire companies, not just games, should be extensions of that winning concept.

BAFTA YOUNGGAME DESIGNERS2O12 WINNERSThe BAFTA Young Game Designers initiative aims to inspire the creative minds of the future, by giving young people aged between 11 and 16 the chance to design their own game and then develop it with industry professionals...

In 2012, the Young Game Designers competition engaged more than 1,200 young people – working independently and through 119 schools – as competition entrants and workshop participants throughout the UK.

For the first time, the competition had two strands: the original Game Concept Award, which was won by 15-year-old Charlie Hutton-Pattemore for Vacuum Panic (aka Suck It Up); and a new Game-making Award, presented by Sony Computer Entertainment

Europe (SCEE), won by 13-year-old Christopher Purdy for his game, Smiley Dodgems.

As part of their prize, Charlie and Christopher visited SCE London Studio and worked on their games with experts from Swallowtail Games and YoYo Games, based at the University of Abertay Dundee. The prototypes of the winning games are on display at this year’s British Academy Games Awards.

BAFTA YGD will re-open for entries in autumn 2013. For more information, visit www.bafta.org/ygd

VACUUM PANIC

SMILEY DODGEMS

SUPPORTED IN 2O12 BY

GAME CONCEPT AWARD WINNERCreated by Charlie Hutton-Pattemore, under the name Chazman, Vacuum Panic was designed for mobile and handheld devices.

With the fantastic tagline of “Suck it up before your mum gets home!”, the aim of the game is to help young protagonist Jake vacuum his home to avoid the ire of his mother. The challenge increases progressively, with each level time limited and each room needing a set area of floor space to be cleaned.

In his original entry, Charlie describes how players must avoid tangling the cable around any furniture – “You wouldn’t want to knock Granny’s best vase off the coffee table” – and hazards, such as siblings, family pets and household objects, could trigger a mini-game, wasting valuable time. He notes that players should also vacuum under the furniture as there may be hidden coins which can be used to purchase handy attachments to make vacuuming easier. Charlie says: “Just be careful you don’t suck up Granddad’s false teeth or Baby’s dummy or there’ll be trouble!”

The jurors’ verdict reveals why Vacuum Panic was the Game Concept Award winner: “A stylish design to make the mundane into a fun, rewarding experience. Challenge and variety is provided through the use of mini-games that help translate player failure into a positive experience.”

The appeal is clear, as Charlie himself notes: “Any teenager should be able to relate to this crazy game, with its chores, challenges and real-life situations.”

VACUUM PANIC(aka SUCK IT UP)

SMILEYDODGEMSGAME-MAKING AWARD WINNERWorking under the name of Tanbridge Solo, Christopher Purdy created the winner of the new Game-making Award, Smiley Dodgems.

Designed to be a “simple, playable game” for Android and iOS devices, Christopher’s idea features a ‘Smiley’ as its main character, which is being attacked by faceless shapes. As the timer ticks upwards, so the action hots up as more and more shapes (each with a unique attack pattern) barrage poor old Smiley.

Christopher notes in his original brief: “The aim of the game is to survive as long as possible, while dodging all of the enemies. It takes around 30 to 50 seconds before being bombarded by the full onslaught.”

Originally created as a school project, Christopher went so far as to create the code to get the game up and running, and had strong ideas about potential improvements to his original pitched design.

He notes: “Further developments I’d like to make are for the enemies to be introduced more gradually and for there to be a broader world for Smiley to move about, which would also allow more types of enemies (bigger and more complex ones). I would like to keep the simple graphics though, as I think it’s this which makes Smiley Dodgems more playable by a greater range of ages.”

It was the game’s simplicity that proved to be a winner with the jurors too, who described Christopher’s creation thus: “Clean visuals and compelling gameplay with impressive finesse.”

INDEPENDENTS' DAYTo celebrate the rise of indie gaming, The Guardian teamed up with BAFTA to host an afternoon event in February to sample new projects from independent developers across the UK. Discussing their work at this Guardian Gamesblog Indie Social were Mode 7 (Frozen Synapse), HoneySlug (Frobisher Says), Omni Labs (Eufloria) and Mike Bithell (Thomas Was Alone), among others.

FIRST, LAST AND ALWAYSAlso in February, BAFTA hosted a special Game Developer Q&A with Hironobu Sakaguchi, developer of the Final Fantasy series, in which he discussed and showcased his latest game for the Nintendo Wii, an RPG called The Last Story. During the Q&A, Sakaguchi discussed his breadth of work to a packed auditorium, and revealed he’s working on a surfing game on iOS! GONG HO HEROESHeld on 16 March, the Awards celebrated the great and the very great of 2011. The big winner on the night was Portal 2 (Valve), which picked up the top prize for Best Game, among its three awards, while Minecraft developer Markus Persson won the Special Award.

GHOST STORIESIn April, directors François Alaux and Hervé De Crécy were guests at a preview screening of Ghost Recon Alpha, a live-action short film based on the Tom Clancy series which serves as a prelude to 2012’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier game. The short was followed by a Q&A with the Oscar-winning pair, joined on stage by Future Soldier’s developers.

FOR GOODNESS SNAKEGiving some of the most renowned creative forces in games a platform to discuss their personal vision for the future of their industry, the BAFTA Annual Games Lecture was delivered in September 2012 by Hideo Kojima, the creator of the hugely successful and influential Metal Gear Solid stealth ’em up series. The event was supported by Autodesk.

BAFTA'S GOT A BRAND NEW CHAIROn 24 September, Harvey Elliott was selected as the new Chairman of the BAFTA Games Committee, replacing the outgoing Ray Maguire, who stepped down in the summer. Elliott is the MD and COO of Marmalade, a leading cross-platform software technology business, and oversees the Ideaworks Game Studio under the same company group.

BAFTA offers a diverse range of events and initiatives for the games industry, from developer Q&As and lectures through to

masterclasses and discussion groups. Here are just some of the highlights from 2012…

PANEL GAMESThis year saw the debut of BAFTA’s Games Question Time format, with audience members putting their questions to industry legends – Peter Molyneux, David Braben and Ian Livingstone – as well as newer game developers such as TV presenter Jonathan Ross. Three Question Time events took place in London in 2012, with additional panels held in Sheffield, Edinburgh and Dundee.

DREAM TEAMAt the more diverse end of the scale, BAFTA hosted a Transmedia Meetup with Women In Film & TV, the leading membership organisation for women working in creative media in the UK. On the panel was Hilary Perkins, Multiplatform Commissioning Editor for Drama and Film at Channel 4, whose work includes Dreams Of Your Life, a unique and innovative multiplatform experience to support the release of Carol Morley’s feature Dreams Of A Life. The event was part of an ongoing series of collaborations with different organisations interested in transmedia.

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATIONAlso in December, Renga made its London debut at BAFTA 195 Piccadilly. A feature-length ‘crowd

game’ for cinema-goers, Renga mixes new technology, adventure and a wry sense of humour as the actions of the game’s lead protagonist are controlled by the audience via laser pointers aimed at the screen. The show was followed by a discussion with directors Adam Russell and John Sear.
