Jobs in video games dried up, so we made our own

Despite struggling to find a full-time job in the industry, Holly has just released her first commercial game alongside uni course mate Harvey Hayman. Morgan: Metal Detective - a "cosy" slow-paced adventure game set in Cornwall -began life as their end-of-year project. Players take on the role of Morgan, a young girl who uses her late grandfather's metal detector to find lost items and return them to residents on a small island. Holly and Harvey tell BBC Newsbeat it's a personal project for both of them, inspired by childhood holidays in south-west England, but one they've had to work hard to get over the line. Funding for new video games has also declined in the past two years, so the project has been largely self-financed.
