Based on roguelikes, such as FTL and games for RuneScape gold parties like Overcooked Means Warp is a roguelike game that draws inspiration from party games like Means Warp sees players control crew members onboard ships, controlling various systems, targeting weapons and performing repairs, before finally charting their course through the treacherous space void.
To find out more about Jagex's release of This Means Warp, we called Outlier Games' founders Paul Froggatt and Matt Rathbun, and Lead Product Manager for Jagex Robert Fox-Galassi regarding their thoughts on this new collaboration.
As with many indie developers, our start in the games industry was from playing around with game concepts and code over a long period of time before coming up with something usable!
I've got 10 years' experience working at Google before I decided to switch to game development full-time, and Matt's experience spans the creation of Hollywood computer systems for film sets, a stint with South Korean esports and mobile game development. We're so excited to share what we've made with This Means Warp.
A variety of video games have been a source of inspiration for aspiring developers to develop their own. But it's rare to have derivative works picked up by the company behind the original title.
This, however, was not cheap OSRS GP the case with Brendan Malcolm, the one-man team from Australian producer Games By Malcs, whose idle RPG Melvor Idle is published by Jagex the maker of RuneScape which is a game that was at the core of Malcolm's motivation for his own game.
