Would you recommend the bootcamp to others? "100%. Going into anything is a good start to achieving your goals, the bootcamp is one of those starts. This is an opportunity to get into the games industry, so take it. I'm so glad I did. "I've done a lot of courses and stuff before and I've met a lot of people in industry and one thing I was worried about is those relationships tend to fizzle away, but Marcia Deakin and Gina Jackson OBE on the course have been beyond accommodating. They've kept contact, they check in on me. They want to know that we're doing well and it's genuine. I've never had that before. I just to say that the people heading it are actually phenomenal and you knew they really, really cared. I can say that no matter what, the bootcamp is always going to be a big part of my company and what I've done, and I wouldn't want it any other way."
