"We actually considered the idea of RS Gold creating the idle RuneScape game several years ago when we launched RuneScape: Idle Adventures," Pfeiffer elaborates. "In Alpha, we stopped development and focused all our energy on main RuneScape games.

We've always believed in that RuneScape's game has potential in the area of idle games and Melvor Idle more than proves that RuneScape is a game that can help you create an amazing idle game. However, Melvor Idle stands up on its own merits too in addition to our desire to remain true to the vision for the game that Brendan first began making this game."

Pfeiffer also mentions the popularity of Melvor Idle as proof that talent can be found in any game's community, something Jagex has already realized. "We've always discovered the RuneScape communities to be an excellent supply of people for Jagex not only in terms of game developers , but all the roles in a studio for games," the director says. "RuneScape has over 300 million accounts created in the last 20 years. This means that the talent pool who have played the game is huge."

Following the successful partnership and collaboration with Games By Malcs, Pfeiffer says he's looking forward to working more with indie devs around the world , especially if they're creating project that "align with the RuneScape design philosophy and Jagex's core values" And he hopes that the success of Melvor Idle will spur more independent developers to reach out to osrs cheap accounts the studio.
