90 new Games members for BAFTA Crew

BAFTA’s Games Crew has more than doubled with the addition of almost 100 new members.

This year’s 90 newcomers bring the number of industry members involved with the skills and networking initiative to 146.

The programme is funded by Creative Skillset and hosted in collaboration with the Wellcome Trust.

Former Lionhead Studios dev Georg Backer and Creative Assembly senior designer Catherine Woolley are among those BAFTA games members who whittled down applications to 2016’s shortlist.
