"Luckily the enthusiasm that was a source of inspiration those first few months was with me for the last couple of years of development, and being capable of working together with Jagex personally on this project is the ultimate dream," he says. "I did not think I'd eventually get the support of the very studio which inspired me in the first place..
Making the jump from hobby to fan-driven project was definitely scary However, when you look at where I've ended up, and the help I've received in establishing Games by Malcs as an emerging studio, it's certainly worked out for the best."
Despite the close ties to Melvor Idle and RuneScape, and the direct involvement of Jagex, the publisher opted to keep the game as an original IP and not to make it an official RuneScape spin-off. It was a recognition that Malcolm was successful in a place that Jagex it had otherwise failed.
"We actually considered making the idle RuneScape game a few years ago with RuneScape: Idle Adventures," Pfeiffer explains. "In Alpha, we stopped development in order to concentrate all our energy on main RuneScape games.
We have always believed that RuneScape has a lot of potential in the empty space. Melvor Idle proves that RuneScape can inspire a brilliant idle game. But Melvor Idle stands up on its own merits as we wanted to stay in line with the concept of this game Brendan had when he started developing Melvor Idle."
Pfeiffer also points to the success of Melvor Idle as evidence that potential talent can emerge from any game's community that Jagex is already recognizing. "We've always found it to be the RuneScape game community a fantastic source of talent for Jagex not only in terms of game developers but all of the roles within a games studio," he says. "RuneScape has seen more than 300 million accounts created over the course of more than 20 years, and the amount of talented people that have played the game is massive."
