The game draws inspiration from RuneScape gold roguelikes including FTL and party games like Overcooked this Means Warp sees players control the crew members of the ship, operating various equipment, aiming weapons and making repairs, and finally charting a course through the tangled space.
For more information about Jagex's publishing of This Means Warp, we called Outlier Games' founders Paul Froggatt and Matt Rathbun and Lead Product Director for Jagex Robert Fox-Galassi to get their thoughts on this new collaboration.
As with many indie developers, our beginnings in the games business was through tinkering with game concepts and code over a long period of time before we finally came up with something playable!
I've had 10 years' experience working at Google before I made the choice that I wanted to pursue developing games full-time. Matt's career spans building Hollywood computer systems for film sets, a stint with South Korean esports and mobile game development. We're beyond excited to show what we've built by launching This Means Warp.
Many video games have been a source of inspiration for aspiring developers to make their own. But it's uncommon to see an original idea taken up by the same company that created the original game.
This, however, was the case for Brendan Malcolm, the one-man team of Australian creator Games By Malcs, whose idle RPG Melvor Idle is now being published by Jagex the company that developed RuneScape (a game that was at the heart of Malcolm's motivation behind his own project.
Melvor Idle strips away the visuals and 3D environments of RuneScape and other similar MMOs and distills it down to a menu-based idle game in OSRS gold which players can manage their abilities, inventory, and quests. Participating in combat battles or winning them will earn you XP as well as loot, which can be placed into the improvement tree or skill tree players wish to purchase, while repeating activities such as crafting or cutting wood yields benefits.
