Three Scottish stories of interest today.
The first arrived on my RSS doorstep yesterday - Games to be taught in Scottish Schools shouted the headline from MCV. The crux:
Scottish schoolchildren are to be taught the basics of video gamedesign as part of the country's new national curriculum ... the move isto designed to 'create the next generation of young programmers'.
That's a lot for a games company. Admittedly Realtimehas an exclusive partnership with Microsoft Game Studios and its firsttitle, Crackdown for Xbox 360 in early 2007, sold about 1.4m copies.But the money looks likely to head towards it's online gamesdevelopment. Realtime Worlds already runs All Points Bulletin, amassively multiplayer online game. I can tell you right now, VCs arehighly interested in that space.
