Run by Develop’s sister mag MCV, the awards acknowledge retailers, distributors and publishers in the UK games trade – and also singles out studios and new games brands for their efforts.
The win is just the latest in a line of awards for Traveller’s Tales. The Lego Star Wars game maker had previously won the Develop Awards’ Best Independent Developer award two years running, and its success – boosted over recent years by its work on the aforementioned movie/toy tie-in, has been fuelled by excellent sales of its games; the studio was the highest perfoming European company in our recently published 2007 edition of the Develop 100.
