The talks continued as did the discussions. Melvor Idle was soon signed to Jagex Partners OSRS Gold, the RuneScape publisher of the company. Jagex provided Malcolm help with his development, and also helped by reviving the brand and helped with the management of communities and localisation, turning an idea created by one person into something available in 13 languages (so as of).

It launched earlier this month with the Early Access version proved this formula was popular with RPG players. It was downloaded more than 600,000 times in Steam and the major apps for mobile devices. This went above and beyond Malcolm's initial expectations when he first began his journey. Naturally, he was hoping that the game would go well but there was no 'endgame that he was thinking of.

"Luckily the joy that I felt in the early years has stayed with me throughout the years of development. Being able to work in conjunction with Jagex personally on this project is an incredible opportunity to fulfill a dream," he says. "I would never have imagined that I'd ever get support from the same studio that inspired me in beginning.

Making the leap from hobby to fan-driven project was definitely terrifying However, when you look at my current situation, and the assistance I've received since establishing Games by Malcs as an up-and-coming studio, it has certainly been for the most successful."

Despite the close relationship in Melvor Idle and RuneScape, and the direct involvement of Jagex in the game, the publisher decided to maintain the game as an original IP instead of make it the official RuneScape spin-off. It was a recognition that Malcolm succeeded in a place that Jagex itself had failed.

"We have actually thought about developing the idle RuneScape game a few years ago with RuneScape: Idle Adventures," Pfeiffer explains. "In Alpha, we stopped development to focus our efforts on the main RuneScape games.

We've always believed in RuneScape's potential in the area of idle games and Melvor Idle more than proves that RuneScape can create a fantastic idle game. However, Melvor Idle stands up on its own merits too osrs account boosting, so we wish to stay as true to the original vision of the game that Brendan was able to envision when he began developing Melvor Idle."
