  • News roundup #6

    • The gaming channel Just Add Monsters recently interviewed Rand Miller and Neal Lorenza about the Switch port of realMyst.
    • The Myst Documentary crew has launched a new interactive website and a mailing list. The director, Philip Shane, will once again make a presentation at the virtual Mysterium.
    • On June 25 at 5:30 pm PDT, Cyan will host their first Unwritten Livestream, on their Twitch channel.
    • There are quite a few updates on the Mysterium convention front:
      • Mysterium 2021 will be held on July 16–18, at the Westin Alexandria Old Town hotel in Alexandria, VA, at a rate of $100/night.
      • The hotel will be cancelling the 2020 bookings in the next couple weeks, so those who reserved a room should not need to do anything.
      • If you purchased a registration, you will have the option of rolling it over to 2021, or request a refund.
      • There is still time to submit virtual event ideas, but not for long!
      • If you have any Cyan related costumes, you can record a pair of videos of yourself before and after putting on the costume, and they will be edited together into a video to be played during the convention.
      • The T-shirt store is open for preorders: the T-shirts have the new “2020 2021” logo, and designs from Squee (front) and Shoom’lah (back). $2 from every T-shirt sold will be donated to Campaign Zero and Gameheads, equally. If you would like to make your own donations, the Committee has some recommendations.
      • There will be a virtual Open Mic Night: you can send song parodies, poetry, skits, and anything else you can come up with, until July 20, and they will be strung together and played during the virtual Mysterium.
  • News roundup #5

    • After more than three months, a new update was posted in Thursday about Firmament. It mentions how, in the first few months after the Kickstarter’s end, Cyan needed to hire more employees, especially in the art department; Rand’s enthusiasm for the story, but the need to improve on the gameplay and setting aspects of the game; encouraging internal feedback from all stages of production; the official hiring of a member of the Starry Expanse team; and the transition to a fully work-from-home model.
    • On Wednesday, a new MOULa patch was released (OpenUru#159); here are the release notes:
