Boy, Does Village Roadshow Have Plans For Myst

Boy, Does Village Roadshow Have Plans For Myst

, , , , 0

Myst, the original point-and-click PC adventure, took the world by storm in the early 90s. Ever since then, it’s tried and failed to break into other media. Myst-based TV shows have been announced by Legendary Entertainment in 2014, and Hulu and 2015, but both projects evaporated. Now Village Roadshow Entertainment — they of the giant “V” you get before some movies — has the rights, and they plan to exploit them like no one else before. Village has grand plans for Myst: a TV series! A movie! And….a reality show?? Their press release mentions “film, scripted and unscripted TV content.” All of these proposed projects “will rely on and expand upon the game’s existing mythology.” Admittedly, the game’s plot is rather wide-reaching and rich with spinoff potential (though we’re skeptical about the reality show part). Its canon spans 10,000 years and concerns an ancient civilization known as the D’ni who have the ability to write books that transport people to other worlds. Any of those worlds, or any of the

Cyan, the game studio behind the landmark PC title Myst, has announced their new project. It’s called Firmament. and like Myst, you’ll be exploring an entire world. Back when Myst was released, video games with full-color CGI-rendered environments were a new novelty. Now Cyan hopes to become pioneers in a new emerging interactive medium: VR. “Anyone who knows Cyan understands that we have always embraced pushing the boundaries of world creation,” says Rand Miller, Cyan’s CEO. “We believe that VR is part of an evolutionary step in making our worlds even more immersive.” Cyan has now launched a Kickstarter game to partially fund Firmament. “Empowering our fans to fund through Kickstarter allows us to explore these creative opportunities. Oh, and they’re gonna love this game.” Firmament is an all-new story and experience, but it draws on and embraces the steampunk aesthetics (that define parts of Myst) to weave a rich and surprising narrative – with just a touch of magic. The player explores various fantastic worlds with the help of

According to entertainment site Variety, Legendary Entertainment have come to an agreement with developer Cyan to create a television series based on the hit adventure game Myst.  Rand and Robyn Miller, the co-creators behind the game, will have a creative role overseeing the adaptation, meaning that the series will likely remain close to the story of Myst. The report also indicates that Legendary Entertainment have not yet decided how the series will be distributed, leaving the door open to a release through traditional TV sources or on digital platforms such as Netflix and Hulu. Myst originally launched in 1993 for PC to critical acclaim and was a large commercial success. The large fictional world and deep back story were particularly praised and it is these aspects that have probably led to the game being adapted into a television series. Later, a sequel called Riven was released to similar success. The Later ports have been released for the PlayStation, PSP, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS, although these were less successful than
