Realtime Worlds' staff expands, now one of UK's largest devs photo

Realtime Worlds, best known for its work on Crackdown and the upcoming APB, has hit a milestone. The developer has announced today that it has hit the mark of 250 working staff.

Looking for work? You might want to check in with Realtime Worlds, as the plans are to grow even more going into 2010. The developer says it plans to grow “considerably more than 300 by early 2010 when it will have launched its next title, APB.” Yes, if all goes as planned, we’ll be playing APB early next year. And at least 50 more people will have jobs at Realtime Worlds. What more could you want?

Be sure to check out the APB screens and trailer from E3, where it was announced it would be partnering with Electronic Arts to publish the persistent online gang shooter.

Maybe they are counting everyone which playtests APB? Because that's a pretty big damn game.

APB PLZ.

Hopefully this expansion results in more projects.

I doubt that picture is real. There's not enough smack heads hanging around for it to be Dundee.

PS: That will be a busy bathroom.

Aggh my current home.

Seriously RTW is the best studio or publisher I've ever worked for.

I would have a look to see if my completely non-tech game dev background would qualify me for some kind of job at RTW, but alas their website is fried and I will have forgotten about this by tomorrow. Also, I have no idea where Dundee is. Up north somewhere? Scotland? It could be in Norway for all I know. (checks google maps) Oh good grief, it's miles away.

It's a 3 storey building with considerable depth you don't see in the pic, so it packs 'em in fine, folks.

However, RTW has a terrible record of firing new starts within weeks. Coders on the east coast of Scotland don't have much option but to try and work for them, unfortunately. There just aren't that many jobs going around these parts.
@ Soulwax - I don't live in Dundee, but I find your comment a little ill-conceived. Sure, there are heroin addicts who occupy poor areas in the town but that is the case in every town and city in the western world. While the place isn't to my taste, I'll not demean perfectly good people by implying the birthplace of modern journalism is full of drug addicts.

It didn't get the nickname 'Scumdee' for nothing.
