APB Character Artist Launches Start-up Studios
Realtime World’s now defunct MMO shooter, APB, obviously did a lot of things wrong. One very cool feature among the lackluster bits was the character creator. APB’s capable lead character artist, Jimmy O’Ready, is bouncing back from the game’s failure by opening two new studios.
O’Ready opened Montynero Characters and Montynero Concept Art, both based in Dundee, Scotland.
We’re happy to see at least one former APB developer landing on their feet following the game’s closure announced on September 16. We look forward to seeing what he and other former APB devs create in the future.

We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk.
