Many video games have encouraged aspiring developers to create their own. But it's rare to have the work of a different creator picked up by the same company that created the original title OSRS Gold For Sale. Thiswas, however, the case for Brendan Malcolm, the one-man team of Australian producer Games By Malcs, whose idle RPG Melvor Idle is being published by Jagex which is the company behind RuneScape (a title which was the main motive behind his own venture.

Melvor Idle strips away the 3D graphics and environments of RuneScape and similar MMOs and reduces it to a simple idle game that relies on menus which lets players manage their abilities, inventory and quests. Activating combat encounters as well as winning them earns you XP and loot which can later be put into any skills tree or upgrade the players wish to purchase, and repeated activities like crafting and cutting wood can yield benefits of their own.

Malcolm has been playing RuneScape since childhood and has also dabbled in several of the most popular idle games, such as Clicker Heroes, Cookie Clicker and NGU Idle. Although he enjoyed them, he felt the genre had the potential to do something more enjoyable in a manner similar to Jagex's top RPG.

"So I decided to challenge myself to make my own game without even imagining that the game would ever be released, much less become famous," he tells buy osrs gp. "I was trying to make something that wasn't in the conventional idle game mold and something that had a lot of features and offered players a actual choice about how they wanted to progress rather than simply increase the number of players on a daily basis.
