Believed in RuneScape's potential in the idle space
We've always believed in RuneScape's potential in the idle space OSRS Gold, and Melvor Idle more than proves that RuneScape can be a great idle game. However, Melvor Idle stands up on its own merits too, in addition to our desire to stay as true to the original vision of this game Brendan had when he started developing Melvor Idle."
Pfeiffer cites the popularity of Melvor Idle as evidence that the talent that is available can be found in any game's community, something Jagex has already realized. "We've always been able to find this RuneScape game community an excellent source of talent for Jagex and not just in terms of game developers but every role within a games studio," Pfeiffer claims. "RuneScape has had almost 300million accounts created in the last 20 years. So the number of highly skilled people that have played the game is enormous."
After the success of the partnership and collaboration with Games By Malcs, Pfeiffer says he's looking forward to working more with indie developers around the world if they're working on projects that "align with RuneScape's design philosophy and Jagex's core values" The hope is that Melvor Idle's success will encourage more indies to reach out to Jagex for help.
With the latest version 1.0 of Melvor Idle, it is now available. Games By Malcs and Jagex are working together on future content, including other potential titles that are set in the Melvor universe. Malcolm remains thankful to Jagex for their ongoing support, especially when it comes down to reaching new players.
"They have also been fantastic in making sure that Melvor Idle gets to more people than I would have ever been able to do by myself for both players within the RuneScape community and further afield," his statement. "With the full launch out now runescape 07 accounts, I'm looking forward getting to work with Jagex to make Melvor Idle even more of a success, and on future projects."
