    Episode one: Jake Roberts, Gorogoa developer

    When Jason "Jake" Roberts gave up his job as a software developer in 2012, he probably didn't realise he'd spend four years on his debut game Gorogoa - but he probably didn't think it'd lead to him taking home the BAFTA Games Award for Best Debut, either. In the first episode of My Life in Pixels, Frankie Ward chats to Jake about growing up in rural America, the first games he played and what influenced him on his way to creating one of the most unique releases of 2017.
