Many a video game has been a source of inspiration for aspiring developers to make their own RuneScape Gold. It's not often that you'll see derivative works picked up by the company behind the original title.

Thiswas, however, the case for Brendan Malcolm, the one-man team from Australian developer Games By Malcs, whose idle RPG Melvor Idle is currently being released by Jagex who is the creator of RuneScape -- a game which was the core motive behind his own venture.

Melvor Idle strips away the graphics and 3D environments of RuneScape and other similar MMOs and distills it down into a game with a menu-based interface that lets players control their abilities, inventory, and quests. Engaging in combat as well as winning them earns you XP and loot that can be invested into whichever skills tree or upgrades players choose, while repeating things like crafting or cutting wood yields benefits.

Malcolm has played RuneScape since childhood as well as dabbled in many of the leading idle games, including Clicker Heroes, Cookie Clicker and NGU Idle. While he was a fan however RS Gold 2007, he believed that it could be doing something else that was pleasing in a similar manner as Jagex's most popular RPG.
