RuneScape Mobile

RuneScape Mobile represents one of the most challenging and successful mobile game development projects in MMORPG history. As technical lead on this groundbreaking mobile port, David spearheaded the complex process of bringing over two decades of RuneScape content to iOS and Android platforms, reaching millions of 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 optimization, 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's mobile development expertise led to promotion as team lead for the mobile project. 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 our video game development company's ability to handle complex technical challenges while maintaining the quality standards expected by millions of dedicated MMORPG players. RuneScape Mobile's success, with overwhelmingly positive player reception and continued growth, showcases our expertise in mobile game development for complex, content-rich gaming experiences.
