Created with replayability and multiplayer in mind, this Means Warp encourages players to work together and think strategically during chaotic, real-time space battles with Cheap RS Gold. adopt shrewd strategies as they steer their ships through a hostile, procedurally generated universe.
Drawing inspiration from roguelikes such as FTL and party games such as Overcooked, this Means Warp sees players control crew members on board the ship, operating various systems, targeting weapons and making repairs, and finally charting a course through the dark and dangerous space.
For more information about Jagex's release of This Means Warp, we asked Outlier Games' founders Paul Froggatt and Matt Rathbun and Lead Product Management for Jagex Robert Fox-Galassi regarding their thoughts about the new collaboration.
Much like many indie developers our first steps into the game industry came from tinkering with games concepts and code over a long period of time before we finally came up with something playable!
I've got 10 years' experience working for Google before deciding to move into gaming full-time. Matt's professional experience includes building Hollywood computer systems on film sets, as well as a stint in South Korean esports and mobile game development. We're beyond excited to show what we've created with This Means Warp.
A myriad of video games has given an ambitious developer the idea to make their own. But it's rare to have an original piece of work that is picked up by the same company that created the original title.
That was not the case for Brendan Malcolm, the one-man team at Australian producer Games By Malcs, whose idle RPG Melvor Idle is currently being released by Jagex who are the developers of RuneScape the game which was the primary motive behind his own venture.
Melvor Idle strips away the visuals and 3D environments of RuneScape and other similar MMOs and reduces it to a simple idle game based on menus in which players can manage their inventory, skills and quests. Combat encounters are fought as well as winning them earns you XP and loot that can be used to purchase any skill tree or upgrades players want, while repeating tasks such as crafting and woodcutting will yield rewards of their own.
Malcolm has played RuneScape from the age of a child and has also dabbled in a variety of popular idle games like Clicker Heroes, Cookie Clicker and NGU Idle. While he was a fan but felt that the genre could have something more that would be satisfying in a similar way to Jagex's top RPG.
"So, I set out to develop my own game without even thinking about how it would end up being released, much less become so popular," he tells GamesIndustry.biz. "I was trying to make something different from the standard idle game mold and something that had a lot of features and allowed players a real options in how they wanted to move forward instead of just increasing numbers in a continuous cycle with RuneScape 3 Gold.
After thinking about it for few minutes in a closed room I began combining concepts and mechanics of classic MMOs together with the widely played idle game concept, creating something fun to play by casually and on the go, and fit it into the daily routine of a gamer."
