I know a #Myst linking book when I see one. I feel like some of the production team must have played or knew it would be a good reference for the vibes. #Severance

A couple of turns from a moment last year riding up a chairlift. Light felt all myst like with the fog fading through the sky. Shout out to the old game Myst.

8. MYST

As the first computer game I ever played, this one holds a special place in my memory. My first computer had roughly 32 MB of RAM, so the game was nearly unplayable, but after watching a book fall one frame at a time over 2 hours, it was all worth it in the end!

A dock leads to a bizarre structure on the shore of a mysterious island. The structure is made of stone, with golden rails, and at the top, what looks like a large pair of gears.

Holy shit Myst was built on Hypercard!

That explains how two guys were able to make a game like that. Just used Hypercard as the engine.

once a year i pull out this wondrous history of myst/riven coffee table book for inspiration. each page is a work of art.

A huge coffee table book From Myst to Riven: Creations and Inspirations. By Richard Kadrey. A render of a scene from Riven is on the front. The box is made of faux leather.

many at cyan, inc., fondly recall the days spent crammed into Chris brandkamp's garage above where Riven was started. Eventually, as plans for the game escalated and members of the company grew beyond the capacity of their tiny office cyan turned in their thinking caps for some hardhats-momentarily- and broke ground (below) for a new company world headquarters. 2 artists.4 Ned to jo: Riven's development team was that he, Robyn, and Rand go along well. This was important, since the Miller's knew the building Riven would be a multiyear project and that ertfe one would have to work, if not practically live, closes together. Officially, Robyn and Richard were both directors, in the Hollyaos sense of the word. They would make most of the aesthetic decisions tr would shape the overall look and feel of the game. Rand remained the sis ducer, which meant wearing every hat he could fit on his head to ensure by production remained doable." He also worked closely with production mas ager Tony Fryman, who did the hands-on project scheduling and managemeat The lofty titles, however, don't give a true impression of their woring. methods and conditions. When Myst was created, it had been pieced togette by the original members working in their separate homes and linked by wilt Chris Brandkamp was fond of calling car-net." Basically. if set- one wanted to show an image to another member of the rean, k got in his car and drove over…

An old book with a mottled golden cover that reads "MYST", sitting on red and brown cloth, next to an inkwell that looks like a beetle

A close-up of the tiny island in the book. It's a replica of the island of Myst from the video game. The entire thing is only a few inches long.

The #Cyan #HumbleBundle is out today featuring the entire #Myst series and Myst remakes (including OG #Riven but not the new remake), #Obduction, #Firmament, and classic children's games for $20 minimum.

I have most of these already but I think I will pick this one up as I don't have Firmament or Myst 2021 for PC, and it's cheaper than either of those individually at full retail!

Today's entry in the YouTube #Myst rabbit hole is a video essay about the design philosophy of the original game vs. the trend of changes being made in subsequent remakes by #Cyan. I don't know if I agree 100% but there's some interesting stuff here about the original's surrealist, magical aesthetics vs. later attempts to "rationalize" i.e. explain away those elements as much as possible. This is supposed to be the first video in a three part series.

The Mysterium livestreams have been having AV problems (ain’t it always) so my full Mysterium report will be delayed until next week.

But the TLDR from Cyan:

- Riven is out!
- Reviews and fan response is spectacular. Sales are not as spectacular. Time for more PR.
- No news on the next game. They’re gonna be concentrating on Riven patches and new platforms for the time being.
- Rand is retiring. Will still be around, on the board, etc. but “I won’t be at the morning meetings.”
