New Programmers, and the first dev with ZERO Rare connection

Lucky Becky, leaving the lofty doomed promises of Peter Molyneux and landing what could potentially be the last job she ever needs in the games industry. It's also interesting that Karn left Rare after having worked on Sea of Thieves which is obviously not out yet.

I guess Karn jumped ship before it crashes into the nearest cliff and sinking to the bottom of the ocean for all eternity. Anyway, nice to see fresh new recruits for the ever growing company that is Playtonic Games. A mixture of both new non-Rare developers and old ex-Rare(ware) staff is what the company needs to ensure it lasts for decades to come.

Fair play to them both for colouring themselves green and purple for the picture - clearly they're good sports.

That's one of MANY tests. It's like being in a fraternity.

Welcome!

[Lienk]

Yeah! More developers! Welcome!

Do we know what their roles will be in the development of Yooka Laylee? (You know, apart from helping keeping Steve Mayles in line )

[Luma Party]

The more the merrier!
Someone with work on a Rare Replay, that might help.

I reckon if there will be any more added to the team, they'll likely be exclusively programmers.
As Taylor said, they have plenty of art staff and they seem to know where they're going with the game. The game just needs programming.

Congrats and good luck!

Pleasant video of Becky from her website!

Considering how the most recent tweet from the Playtonic team was "#FF New people! @Spydarlee @SirPsychoBexy (more to come!!11)", are we to assume that they already know who will be joining Playtonic next?
