Content Development Team

Content Developers are Jagex employees who, as the title implies, think of and develop content updates. They are generally asked to develop a certain update with a particular goal (for example "a new, low-budget Herblore training method") and are more or less free to fill it in as they please and devise its mechanics, narrative, and gameplay, so long as it remains in accordance with the design. A unique trait of Jagex content developers is that they also code their content. The updates' lore aspects are reviewed by Mod Osborne and sometimes Mod Mark before they are approved. Additionally, there are Senior Content Developers, although the difference between them and "regular" content developers is unknown.
