This is definitely a step in the right direction Jagex. Hopefully Runescape Idle does well, so Jagex is given an incentive to make more mobile games. In particular, Funorb games.

I was a huge fan of Funorb, notably Armies of Gielinor, Steel Sentinels, and everybody's favorite: Arcanists. It is truly a shame that Funorb was left to die, however Funorb was simply not profitable anymore due to the shifting nature of online, small-scale, multiplayer flash games. Much of the market has been converted to mobile, and this represents an immense opportunity for Jagex. Sticking with the Runescape theme, would it not be possible to create a mobile version of Armies of Gielinor, or perhaps even Arcanists? People would love to see a game as unique and so wildly different from the standard Clash of Clans and Candy Crush in the current mobile market.

The best game to create in mobile would perhaps be Armies of Gielinor, as this not only fits with your current Runescape-themed mobile expansions, but also could be easily converted with minor adjustments, such as changing turn times from 3 minutes to 12-24 hours. This change in turn length would allow players to engage in multi-day games, instead of being forced to play 3 hours in one sitting.

So Jagex, have you thought about expanding your Funorb selection of online games into mobile? Many fans would pick these games up immediately, and a huge mass of people who had never played Runescape would be exposed to them.

HyperHippo does not have a good record as far as avoiding gamebreaking bugs goes. They had a bug a couple of months back that discounted 99.999% of the cost of your units each time you bought a certain upgrade and could stack. This basically let you beat the game with little effort.

They also once accidentally left a development tool ingame on their 3.0 release that let people claim unlimited quantities of gold, their microtransaction currency used to buy various buffs. Somebody used this in coordination with time hacks of hundreds of years at a time and found that a non-paying user would take ~9 trillion years to unlock all the upgrades available. They are TERRIBLE at balancing and math which is what idle games are all about.

The game has only been out for a year and they've already had multiple gamebreaking bugs *snip*

This is 100% Accurate. They are a shady company that has only added a few "holiday events", doesn't reply to customer emails/questions and refuses to give a Time Table as to when they will fix the game's bug where it's genuinely UNCOMPLETEABLE.

Hyper Hippo's Main Game Adventure Capitalist is a genuine scam at this point, as it has been impossible to finish the game since about October of last year. I've played it since May, and missed out logging in during the easy win bug, and have played fairly. Basically if you don't cheat, you can't unlock all the achievements, even with millions of dollars of their premium currency bought. Players have done mathematical analysis of the game, broken it down.

The game is not beatable, and seemingly intentionally so by Hyper Hippo given they have added holiday/monthly events in October, November, December, January, February, and soon one in March pending in about a week, but made no fixes to their game.

I emphatically urge Jagex to reconsider working with a dishonest company like Hyper Hippo and use any resources being used on this project on NXT.

I enjoy Idle games but the company "Hyper Hippo" is known for bugs and taking an unbelievable amount of time to fix game issues/bugs. A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others
