This was the case with Brendan Malcolm, the one-man team of Australian producer Games By Malcs, whose idle RPG Melvor Idle is now being published by RS Gold Jagex, the creator of RuneScape, a game that was core to Malcolm's motivation behind his own project.
Melvor Idle strips away the images and 3D worlds of RuneScape and other similar MMOs and reduces it to a menu-based idle game which lets players manage their skills, inventory and quests. Engaging in combat with a winning streak earns players XP as well as loot, which can be put into any skills tree or upgrades players choose, while repeating things like crafting or cutting wood can yield benefits of their own.
Malcolm has played RuneScape since his early days He has also played in several of the most popular idle games, such as Clicker Heroes, Cookie Clicker and NGU Idle. Although he liked them but felt that it could be doing something more rewarding in Buy RS Gold the same way to Jagex's flagship RPG.
