Games Academy graduates help deliver BAFTA-winning game Atomfall
Three graduates from Falmouth University’s Games Academy have helped create the action survival game Atomfall, which went on to win best British game at the BAFTA Games Awards. Faith Hamill, Ross Everson and Chris Copeland now work across VFX, Animation and technical art at Rebellion, one of Europe's biggest independent multimedia studios.
We caught up with them to talk about building and refining the world of Atomfall – a project shaped by British landscape, culture and craft – and stepping into studio roles on a major release.
