RuneScape Mobile - PC to Mobile Porting

During David's employment at Jagex Games Studio (2017-2019) as a Technical Developer, he contributed to RuneScape Mobile (one of the most challenging and successful mobile game development projects in MMORPG history) bringing over two decades of content to iOS and Android platforms and reaching 10+ million mobile players worldwide. The mobile game development challenge was unprecedented: porting a vast, established MMORPG with thousands of quests, items, and complex systems to touch-friendly mobile interfaces. This required a complete architectural rewrite of core systems, focusing on touch-friendly user interfaces, mobile performance optimisation, and platform-specific efficiency improvements. Starting as a technical developer working on major content updates including the complete rework of RuneScape's core mining system, David went on to join the mobile team, where that platform expertise was applied directly to the port. The mobile game development process involved replacing legacy desktop-focused code with platform-independent systems while maintaining the full depth of the original MMORPG experience. Working at Jagex provided invaluable insights into large-scale game development operations, collaborating with diverse teams including artists, project managers, QA specialists, and the active RuneScape community. The successful mobile launch demonstrated expertise in handling complex technical challenges while maintaining the quality standards expected by millions of dedicated MMORPG players. RuneScape Mobile's success, with overwhelmingly positive (2019) player reception and continued growth, showcases the mobile game development expertise David now brings to Ocean View Games for complex, content-rich gaming experiences.
