i have the published guides to Riven and Exile and. man they just don't make many games like that anymore huh. i guess they never did. but the first part of the book is like "Keep a notebook and a journal!! :D draw your own maps to keep track of things!!!" and i love it so much

first rule of Myst games: WRITE THAT SHIT DOWN

is there a diagram in that journal? you better fucking draw it because you'll need it in like ten hours

#Mystposting #Myst games #i love myst games aaaugh #im playing through riven right now cause i never did the whole series #i grew up on uru. absolutely beloved childhood game despite never being able to solve the puzzles on my own #Riven

Inktober Day 15: Dagger

Absolutely HAD to draw a Moiety dagger for this one! I based the coloring off of the dagger replica in the Cyan headquarters main lobby, thought about drawing the dagger stuck in the ground but I got started on this late and I'd like to go to sleep tonight lol

Friday was my last day at Valve.

Leaving a job full of people and projects you love is always hard, but I have a pretty good reason for it this time around:

Next Monday is my first day at Cyan.

Feels appropriate to announce this on Riven's anniversary, the game that is entirely to blame for who I am as a concept artist and Art Director. WHO WOULD I EVEN BE if I hadn't had my 11yo mind blown by the little wahrk gallows counting toy in the Rivenese schoolhouse??? It's a mystery.

I can’t talk about what's on the horizon just yet—short of helping to get Riven out the door—but I’m thrilled to finally be a part of this studio, officially, after thirty years of wistful pining. If my ancient Riven fanart is anything to go by, it's been a long time comin.'😎

#cyan #myst #riven #valve #from one iconic 90's game studio to another #I have a type #I'm sure a lot of you follow me on here for my fandom stuff #(and probably a fair number of you don't even know what I do professionally)#but suffice to say this is a BIG OL' DREAM COME TRUE for baby Claire (and adult Claire)

VGHF Holiday Calendar Day 1: We remastered The Making of Riven

If you played Riven back in the day, you might remember the mini-doc that came with Riven. It was pretty great, but it was also compressed to hell in QuickTime.

As part of our project to digitize Cyan's archives, we went back to the original master tape for The Making of Riven and brought it back at unbelievable quality, including 4x the original framerate. Just look at this difference! Holy moly!

We're sharing this as part of our annual fundraiser! If you like what you see, please consider donating a couple bucks to the Video Game History Foundation's pledge drive to fund our next year of operations!
