Realtime Worlds Ltd

Colin MacDonald of Realtime Worlds is presented his award by Silvio Clemente - Innovation Service Manager, Scottish Enterprise. 

Since launching in 2002, Dundee-based software technology company Realtime Worlds has put Scotland on the map for gamers - developing some of the world’s best selling computer games, including Lemmings and Grand Theft Auto, which has sold over 6 million copies worldwide. 

Realtime Worlds won the award with the technology used in their new game, APB (All Points Bulletin), which is set to be released in summer. APB features a unique customisation system that allows players define exactly how they want their character to look in-game. Colin Macdonald, of Realtime Worlds, said:

“APB gives the player complete control over how their character looks – every aspect of the face and body can be tailored and an exclusive wardrobe can be created. This means that players will never see another player who looks exactly the same. Even the vehicles used in-game can be repainted, customised, and upgraded to suit the player's preferences.

“This award means a lot to our business. It feels fantastic to be recognised for all our hard work over the years, and what greater honour than to receive an award which celebrates one of Scotland’s greatest inventors – John Logie Baird.”
