ALT A crisp screenshot of an unearthly craggy landscape enveloped in ground fog, from the PS5 version of Firmament a game by Cyan Worlds. A sun hovers over the horizon in a misty gray sky, and an ornate industrial building is tucked into the hillside of a mountain.

A 14-year-old Myst fan constructed Myst Island in Minecraft and the results are delightful. 👾
(Don't miss the books. 😂 )

In the 90s, Disney almost turned this island near Florida's Magic Kingdom into a MYST theme park, where you'd solve puzzles to understand what happened to the island's inhabitants. Looks the part this morning! @cyanworlds

Obligatory weirdo tech-art experiment for the last day of winter break. Started out as an exercise in attempting the "strange wall" effect from SilentHill2... But sidetracked into a peaceful meadow of flesh tubes. Enjoy.

2024 has been a rough year for video games. We sat down with five of the best indie game developers to discuss the highs and the lows.
Huge thanks to @Billy_Basso (@Animal_Well), @JumpOvertheAge (Citizen Sleeper), @edoublea (Riven), @sabotoy (@seaofstarsgame) and Ana Opara of @PounceLight (Tiny Glade) for joining us!

It is 1984. I am 8 yrs old & side-eyeing the soft, moist “corncake” served to me on my ChiChi’s plate.
It is 1994. I am 18 yrs old & look forward to that thing every time go to ChiChi’s.
It is 2004. ChiChi’s implodes.
It is 2024. I am 48 yrs old & have become 98% corncake.
We (@cyanworlds) were recently invited to participate in a roundtable discussion with an amazing lineup of indie game devs. It was an absolute honor to be able to meet & “talk shop” with such an inspiring and accomplished group of people.

My first attempt at making legit Chicago tavern-style “cracker crust” pizza (which essentially is the exact style of Midwest pizza I grew up eating). 5/5 stars, will 100% make again. Regularly.
Woah!!! Riven was included in @digitalfoundry ‘s list of Best Graphics of 2024! The team at @cyanworlds is beyond honored. What an absolutely stacked roster of finalists.
The time has come for Digital Foundry to celebrate the visual arts in our traditional 'Best Gaming Graphics of the Year' video - and @dark1x, @Dachsjaeger and @oliemack have a superb line-up to discuss... but which game takes the top slot? youtu.be/7vihrmynaRI
