It's clear that Riven is impacting people in such a positive way.... or you could say... an OVERWHELMINGLY positive way.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to everyone who has reviewed Riven recently. I can't even begin to reiterate how much this means to us, even if temporary

Today's the day for a BIG platform announcement:

It was a no-brainer for us at
@cyanworlds
to make sure that Riven and our next project would offer protections requested by SAG-AFTRA. We hope other devs will follow suit by signing the interim or tiered Interactive agreements ASAP. Let's set an example for other studios!
Watch this video to understand Side Letter 6 &why those games aren't safe to work. The only way this strike works is if we all stand together and withhold our services.

It is such a joy to see people posting about their positive experiences with Myst on Quest! Y’all have no idea how much even a single shout out means to me/the team. 2020 has been an insane year and somehow we managed to make a game from home through it all. We thank you all!!!

It has felt amazing to see the wildly positive reactions and reviews coming out in support of our release of Riven, but the most incredible part about it all is how many people assume we are (or hold us to the standards of) a AAA studio based on what we were able to ship.

I can't stop thinking about how we managed to ship Myst in VR (on Quest and PC VR), AND have the 2D version of Myst win Mac Game of the Year this year. Has this ever been accomplished before by another game/team? Dayum. So proud of the

Our character team on Riven was composed of one (1!!!!!!!) person for most of the project. We had about five programmers for the last year of the project – and only one before that – making sure the game supported both 2D **and** VR gameplay (because we are insane).

Riven’s extremely positive reception is a testament to the kind of team we’ve managed to build here at Cyan. We’re a small team of very, VERY passionate and talented people whose whole goal is to deliver games that both challenge and mean something to people.

Reflecting on some wins this last year:
- Shipped Firmament

- Got major featuring on Apple's hardware RT announcements
- Worked with amazing talent on Riven across multiple different shoots
- Grew the team
So incredibly thankful.

People see the level of fidelity we shipped in Riven, especially in our Windows/Mac release, and are elated – or disappointed – when it either manages or fails to meet their standards for other titles they’ve played with hundreds of millions or dollars more in budget than we had.

We love what we do, and we want to keep doing it for many years to come. We love (and sometimes hate) that we are somehow being held to such high standards, even if it is absolutely terrifying considering the very much NOT AAA-level resources we have to make it happen.

Yes, we did actually name this Myst for Quest update the "Touch Grass" update.
I will have you all know that I asked the team internally to vote "yes" or "no" with green or red emoji checkboxes if this patch update name is too cringe, and all I got were 10 weed emoji responses.
If you hear "go outside and touch grass," now you can just head to Myst Island!
Including flowers, grass, ferns and MORE for Quest 2/Pro users... Myst's "Touch Grass" update also includes many other fixes for Quest!
