Recipe for Faster

RuneFest is an annual player event hosted most years by Jagex Games Studio. In 2017 I along with several other developers in the web team hosted a panel presenting to the player-base the evolution of web technology at Jagex.

This included from the humble beginnings of the Gower era up to the present day. Our shift from proprietary tech and languages to a more industry standard approach and how we solved these challenges.

All our work was always player focussed but there were bumps along the road and a lot of question to answer.

This was a rare opportunity to present live exactly what the web team does at Jagex and the interesting challenges being a web developer in a games company presents.
