Jagex recently announced it had reached an agreement with indie game   OSRS Gold developer Outlier Games to publish the first game of the studio, the spaceship management Roguelike This Means Warp. The game will launch on PC through Steam Early Access on March 17.

Created with replayability and multiplayer in mind, this Means Warp encourages players to collaborate and think strategically in chaotic, real-time space battles. Players employ shrewd strategies to navigate their spacecraft through an incredibly hostile, procedurally-generated universe.

Drawing inspiration from roguelikes such as FTL as well as party-games like Overcooked, Means Warp is a roguelike game that draws inspiration from party games like Means Warp sees players control the crew on the ship, operating various equipment, aiming weapons and making repairs, and finally charting their course through the tangled space.

To find out more about Jagex's publication of This Means Warp, we have reached out to Outlier Games' founders Paul Froggatt and Matt Rathbun, and Lead Product Manager at Jagex Robert Fox-Galassi to get their thoughts on this new collaboration.

As with many indie developers, our first steps into the game industry was from playing around with game ideas and programming over a long period of time, before we finally came up with something that was playable!

I've had 10 years of working experience at Google before I made the decision to switch to developing games full-time. Matt's work spans the construction of Hollywood computer systems for movie sets OSRS Gold For Sale, as well as a stint working in South Korean esports and mobile game development. We couldn't be more thrilled to share the progress we've made through This Means Warp.
