Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Announcement FAQ: Riven FAQ | Cyan CYAN.COM Quote Q: Are you working on a remake of Riven? A: Yes. Q: Is it a remaster or a from-the-ground-up modern remake? A: It is a modern remake. Q: Is this remake point-and-click only like the original Riven was, or will it be traversable in 3D space? A: The remake of Riven will be fully traversable in 3D space. Any other supported navigation methods will be announced at a later date. Q: Why did this take so long? It’s been 25 years! A: Riven is one of the most highly regarded games in Cyan’s history. We didn’t want to approach it lightly or frivolously. Cyan is a small indie studio. We wanted to make sure we could take on such a difficult, costly and complicated endeavor – and do it well. Q: Is this the Starry Expanse Project? A: No, this is a from-the-ground-up remake of Riven from Cyan. However, the Starry Expanse team did assist in kicking off this project. See our blog post here for more details on that. Q: Which platforms is it coming to, when it is coming out, what are the system requirements… etc.? A: We don’t have information to share about that yet. Q: If I purchased a copy of the original Riven, will I get a free copy of this remake? A: Thank you for your support over the years! But, no. This new Riven is not an update or upgrade, it is a modern from-the-ground-up remake that has required (and will continue to require) a substantial investment of resources. Q: I must know more! Where can I find out more information about this new version of Riven?! A: The best way to keep up with the development process is to subscribe to our Cyan Insider newsletter, as we typically share the latest news with our subscribers first!

XxEvil AshxX Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I liked the remake of Myst that came out a while back, but I got absolutely nowhere in it. I thought, when I played the original Myst back in the day, that maybe I was just too dumb to figure out the puzzles. But, after years and years of playing and completing other puzzle games, I realized that the ones in Myst were just stupid. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I hated Myst when it came out, and I suspect I would hate it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I love Myst. I don’t know that I’ve ever felt smarter in my life then when I beat Riven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaysWho? Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I am interested! I wish Myst remake could have used the original live action videos, but I understand the video quality would have probably been atrocious if they tried to enlarge it.

Derek Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Who owns the rights to the Zork series now? I think it would be fun to have a remake of Return to Zork. I remember playing it in after school 'Computer Class' before they got in trouble for putting one copy on all 20-some computers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently tht would be Activision/Blizzard, so shortly...maybe Microsoft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 These are games I always think I’ll like, but then I get frustrated like 30 minutes in and give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myst was one of the game that got me into pc gaming. Played the heck out of it at my grandma's house. Even with the strategy guide I feel like I barely made progress.

Bloodporne Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I love the idea of puzzle games, then I fucking buy them and feel like a complete moron within an hour and have an existential crisis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to play a text game called Whatsits in class, which was a program where you bought and sold Whatsits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
