a teaser trailer from E3 2002, back when "Uru" was still to be called "MYST ONLINE". This was before Ubi told @cyan.com to add an offline part to the game! In hindsight i guess Ubisoft were absolutely right... #Myst #Uru

And so, the inevitability arrived. The source code for "F-STOP", aka "Aperture", the iteration of Portal 2 developed during 2008, leaked in it's entirety. This leak also contains the code from some other Directed Design Experiments, being 'Margharita' and '2 Bots 1 Wrench'.

...Not @cyan.com using a WATERMARKED screenshot in their art book XD I mean why boot up Myst V and take that shot yourself when you can just go on some random gaming website and steal an image from them and use it for your book <3 #Myst #MystV

i'm glad they made a physical edition, but...what are those cover designs?... The DVD cases look boring as hell and the big boxes...dear lord they're giving "graphic design is my passion" vibes.. WAY too much going on. Find a sweet spot BETWEEN Those two!

haha i was reminded on reddit about the fucking STEAM CRACKS the other day! Like, those cracked steam clients that unlocked all the games in your list (it made it look like you own them all) and SOME even would download! XD Does anyone else remember those??

Archived some old footage my grandparents filed while they were in the USA, which may be interesting to some. Not sure exactly when it's from, either late 80s or early 90s would be my guess. archive.org/details/vhs-... Seizure warning, as the tapes were in a poor state. #preservation #digipres

VHS-C Capture USA ca. late 80s or early 90s

This is a capture of a VHS-C tape produced by my grandparents during a period where they were seemingly travelling around quite a bit for what I can only assume was a holiday.Based on some other foota...

Someone on reddit mentioned the idea of @cyan.com 's new "Mudfish" #Myst game being sort of an escape room game and i gotta say i LOVE that idea! It makes the scale smaller, easier to handle by the dev team and could get potentially updates for years!

the sound quality of the #Myst #Riven soundtrack vinyl is quite good but my god is the vinyl CHEAPLY pressed. Like it's incredibly flimsy. and ofc the AI Slop in the fold... And to be honest, it is nowhere mention that it is indeed AI-aided "art" or that Robyn made it. Only Cyan are mentioned.

Here's the take they ended up using for Cho's intro sequence! Also Cho is just his unofficial name actually! In some of the other takes he doesn't even say "Cho?" but something entirely different! #Myst #Riven

Haha seeing John Keston (as Gehn) flub his lines is fun xD But you gotta imagine he was also pretty tired probably! I mean these recording sessions lasted for hours and hours!! So i can totally understand him messing up after a long day of this final monologue
