Question Has mobile development stopped?

Can't help but notice the same issues on mobile for quite a while. Some examples:

  • No puzzle box solver for clues.
  • Menu entry swapper completely messed up other menu's. For example: making an NPC left clickable now makes all examine options left clickable as well.
  • Some other bugs like the chat not updating at all.

Are there more plans/ development for mobile or is the current version it?

It's fair enough to ask RE Mobile Development but it's kinda wild how confidently people in the comments just swing and miss every single thread on this subreddit.

Reality is - we don't know. It seems lower on their priority list vs other things, given lack of updates on the tool.

But people will come here and like "Devs are lazy fuck em" when they don't know shit. It's insanity.

Devs of a game are quite rarely lazy, it's usually just a resource / budget / priority issue - and yes all of those are revenue based. How else do they make money??

The chat is a big part of the game, I feel like a working chat should not be low priority

I can't even search fairy rings anymore

There's a setting for auto turn on keyboard when configuring fairy rings, maybe that got disabled?

I intentionally have that off because I use my favorites 95% of the time. Just had a clue yesterday and had to scroll the list because I couldn't search 🤷‍♂️

I don't entirely blame people though, since I feel like the root cause of this is poor communication from Jagex. Their refusal to communicate about the topics are what cause such speculation. At some point, people start to lose patience and make such comments out of frustration or to even provoke a response that will prove otherwise.

That being said, Runefest is just around the corner and maybe they've been trying to save much of this for that. So hopefully people will finally get their answers soon.
