🎺 You might be familiar with our friend and collaborator Tim Larkin as the composer of the Uru soundtrack (and many other beloved game soundtracks)—but did you know he's also a talented trumpet player?
Check out his new jazz album ⤵️

❓Rime explorers, here’s your next challenge!
Can you tell us what this is and where it can be found in Myst’s newest Age?
Check back tomorrow for the reveal. ✨

We have no idea how to categorize our sound. Conceptual? Yes. Alt-rock? We thought so. Prog-rock? Maybe. Prog-country?! That’s certainly not something we set out to write, but a few have suggested pros-country is the sound. What do you think?

Our wonderful relationship with Sunsoft was a significant aspect of Cyan’s history. Myst may not have happened without their support.
Retro gamers might be familiar with Sunsoft, a '90s game publisher powerhouse. But did you know it was instrumental in the creation of Myst?

Fascinating
Before I finalized the more minimalist album cover for the 2024 Expanded Riven OST, I experimented with some redesigned carved Icon carvings, vaguely similar to the icon paintings in the "Gateroom". These designs felt too busy... and not the right tone for Riven. I abandoned them for Gehn's symbol.
But I thought you might enjoy my process.
In case you don't know, 'Riven (Original Game Soundtrack) [Remastered 2024]" is available everywhere you stream music (with 11 more tracks than the original).
The soundtrack is also downloadable on Bandcamp where the purchase of the album includes our first design map of Riven (in high resolution--3000x2500px) including scrawled notes and initial concepts for puzzles, many of which found their way into the final game.
There's a new version of this post
Check it out!
The Riven expanded OST is now out on Bandcamp, along with a special bonus... the first map we made for Riven. robynmiller.bandcamp.com/alb…
Such a wonderful achievement from the folks at Cyan 👆💗
It’s been almost two weeks since we shipped our remake of Riven here at @cyanworlds , and I’m finally taking some time to rest and reflect on what our team has been able to accomplish for this release. 🧵...
