Abertay University has announced the winners of its Dare To Be Digital competition.
Kind Of A Big Deal's Starcrossed, Loan Wolf Games' Pixel Storyand Raptor Games' Project Thanatos all scooped prizes, and will now compete for the BAFTA Ones To Watch award.
The three winning teams were chosen from 15 entrants and their games were played by a record-breaking 10,000 attendees.
"I’m hugely impressed with the standard of all the games on show and the professionalism and passion of all the Dare to be Digital teams," said BAFTA judge Johnny Minkley.
“It was a hard choice for the judges, but all three BAFTA nominees are strong games and very different games. It will be a really tough decision for the judges to pick the final BAFTA winner at the Video Games Awards next March.”
Abertay's Louis Natanson added: "The entrants to Abertay University's Dare to be Digital get better and better every year, and all 15 teams have done something incredible - built a professional, playable and exciting game in just nine weeks.
"The BAFTA-nominated winners stood out from the tough competition for their exceptional game design, playability and commercial appeal, but all 15 teams have the experience now to enter the games industry or start their own businesses.
"We look forward to seeing, and playing, many successes from them in the future."
