Which is partly why Louie, Sam and Amina were among the young people honing their skills this week as part of a course in Londonderry and Belfast.

The five-day Games Jam, organised by the Nerve Centre, allowed them to develop their own games from a blank canvas and get a glimpse of what it takes to make it in the gaming world.
