Sad news at #Cyan. They've had to lay off about half their team and posted a sheet with contact info and disciplines of employees who are looking for new opportunities: bsky.app/profile/cyan.com/post

This is a crop of talented individuals whose work I think speaks for itself. They are making some of the most imaginative and visually stunning #IndieGames out there (#Myst, #Riven, etc.)

If you or anyone you know is hiring top-tier #GameDevelopers, please put them in touch!

Bluesky Social · Cyan Worlds 🌟 Riven (remade) out now! (@cyan.com)Cyan friends and family, we have some difficult news to share today. (More details in-thread below.)

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!

The #Riven remake is now #SteamDeck verified! I played through the whole game on deck, it looks great and runs smoothly IMO.

I did notice some visual artifacts, I am assuming these come from the AMD FSR 2.2 which is enabled by default. I haven't tried turning it off.

I may be biased but this is my early pick for GOTY. Incredibly satisfying if you enjoy old-school graphic adventure/puzzle games. And lots of surprises for seasoned fans.

I did it! I beat new #Riven without looking up any hints! 🎉

What a ride. Incredible game. I feel ready to call this my #GOTY.

It was an amazing gift from #Cyan to give us this game that successfully walks a line between being enough of a familiar, nostalgic recreation of the original to trigger all the feels, but being fresh and new enough to still give me that feeling of playing the game for the first time. It's quite a balancing act and I think Cyan stuck the landing marvelously.

If you missed the stream where @jesshaskins interviewed Rand Miller for the #Riven retrospective panel at the Adventure Game Fan Fair last weekend, here's a deeplink to the VOD:

I really enjoyed this panel, Jess came prepared with some great questions. It's the first interview of any Cyantist after the Riven remake release that I'm aware of, to date.

Robyn Miller has released a soundtrack for the #Riven remake which contains remastered versions of the original soundtrack, 4 additional pieces from the original game, and 7 new compositions made for the remake. There's also a bonus high-rez scan of the first hand-drawn map of the islands.

It's available for purchase on Bandcamp:

And also available on most streaming platforms.

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.”

I am thrilled to announce that I will have the great privilege of interviewing Rand Miller onstage for a #Riven Retrospective at the Adventure Game Fan Fair by @AGH@gamedev.place in Tacoma at the end of the month.

As a narrative designer, worldbuilder, and someone who spent the early days of the internet deeply immersed in the #Myst fan community, I'm bursting with questions.

What would you most want to ask Rand?
