Scottish Gamers Realtime Worlds Garners Second Round Funding

Many, many moons ago, in that strange period between stopping at University and moving into the small enterprise and technology space, I interviewed for a position at a development house at Dundee. I’ve no recollection who it was, nor if they are still around, and I never went for it as the public transport links didn’t make it work out, but the rise of Dundee (and to a certain the whole of the Scottish central belt as well) is a delight to see.

Congrats then to Realtime Worlds, who’ve raised a second round of $50 million (US) to continue their expansion. They’re one of the success stories in the last year; while members of the team have worked on a number of leading titles (including Lemmings and the Grand Theft Auto franchises), their first title, the BAFTA winning Crackdown on Xbox Live has sold upwards of 1.4 million copies – all digitally. They’re cooking up a massive multiplayer game next (All Points Bulletin) and I’m sure the investment is going towards both that, and the underlying libraries and gaming engines.
