The success stories we do see are merely variations on the standard. The stars had to align for Among Us to find its audience long after the game was launched, and arguably the biggest instance before that, without the aid of a big publisher was Undertale in OSRS Gold.
This is the reason why RuneScape The first 20 Years isn't just essential reading for any fans of gaming, it's essential for anyone interested in the direction that the gaming world is headed in. It's an affirmation that we need to support the indie gaming scene that's always fighting to be noticed in a vast marketplace.
And, above all this is a way to be proud of that humble beginning. Gaming can appear as a completely disgusting and vile place when it comes to certain aspects (because it can be) but at its core the developers are enthusiastic with a passion for gaming to be able to share with us.
We all remember wonderful childhood memories of running around Gielinor, not because some giant company sold us products or service, but because three brothers had passion as well as parents that believed in their kids. It's the kind of people like them that we should thank for the memories, not the top executives at Amazon or Activision Blizzard.
Steamforged Games have announced that it will partner with developers Jagex which will see the release of RuneScape to tablets later this year. The MMORPG will be getting not just two, but two new tabletop versions: a board game, and a tabletop role playing game. The board game will launch on Kickstarter in the coming year, while the tabletop RPG is set to go to retail stores.
The games will draw inspiration from the fantasy world of RuneScape, Gielinor. They will draw on those characters, adventure as well as locations that the MMORPG has become famous for throughout its lengthy history. The board game takes up maximum of 5 players in a quest-based campaign through the lands of Gielinor with Cheap RS Gold.
According to the official announcement from Steamforged the players will "craft and upgrade equipment upgrade their characters, make special dishes, communicate with NPCs and test their skills while exploring various regions of the globe". Like the online MMORPG, players are also likely to be able to complete side-quests in order to flesh out the game's world.
