Roberta Lucca, Bossa Studios: building games, winning BAFTAs and taking action

Roberta Lucca founded Bossa Studios in the basement of a circus school with a few friends. Millions of downloads later, Bossa Studios is a multi-million pound, BAFTA-winning business with hits to its name like Surgeon Simulator, I Am Bread and Worlds Adrift. In the final episode in Season One of Women Tech Charge Roberta talks to Anne Marie about what it takes to make a hit game, how she harnesses her teams' creativity through 'game jams', and why the games industry needs more women.
