Firmament Preview Footage - Extended Cut Cyan 2022-12-14 | Are you experiencing deja vu all over again?! Nope. You might have seen a bunch of this footage before! This video contains ~3 minutes of additional clips from the footage we shared over the summer. These clips were captured in the Unreal editor and are definitely in a in-production state, so there will be wonky things here and there!The usual disclaimers apply: - This footage is work-in-progress so things can (and probably will) change in places... - The music I threw in there is a stock track and not what will be in-game... - If you're trying to go into Firmament totally fresh then you probably shouldn't watch this...

If you could join a radio drama already in progress, talk to the characters and interact with the environments the story painted in your mind, you might find yourself in the world of the Area Man. A quirky radio drama unfolds around you in VR while you do your best to keep the radio station humming along as its new DJ. You record commercials, interview callers and try your best to piece together how your actions inside the station impact your listening audience in scenarios so wild only your imagination can do them justice. If it all feels like too much, don’t worry, you’ll have your lonely producer, the resident skeptic, to guide you on your way, not to mention the vaguely British female voice inside your head. When an unusual Area Man calls into the station asking for your help, you have to act fast. Will you trust the area man, or do your best to thwart his plans? Is there anything you can do to save the Area Man from himself?

Creating Firmament: Character Design Cyan 2021-09-09 | Read the entire article on Cyan's character development pipeline here: kickstarter.com/projects/1252280491/firmament/posts/3273430 -----Our pipeline got a huge boost earlier this year when the folks at Epic gave us (and everybody else!) early access to the MetaHuman toolset.Of course MetaHuman is only the first step in actually bringing the characters into the game, but it gives us a giant head start by allowing us to play with things like facial features, teeth, eyes, and skin complexion before we pull the characters into the engine and begin using them to create things like walk cycles, put words in their mouth, interactions with their environment, and the players, etc. Being able to convey big expressions (laughing, sobbing, rage) is great, but it’s the ability to also capture truly subtle facial expressions- the raised eyebrow, or the slight downturn of the mouth- that take a character from good to great!-----Our newly re-imagined version of Myst is available NOW!

Myst Sayber Announcement Trailer (Cyans 2021 April Fools Foolishness) Cyan 2021-04-01 | UPDATE: Yep. This was our April Fools silliness for 2021. We had a blast making it, and even though Myst Sayber is probably NOT going to be coming to a VR headset near you any time soon, we really appreciate your enthusiasm, and for helping make our day fun! If you do nothing else, tho, definitely check out Amie Waters, who made the music we used in the trailer. She's no April Fools joke!ORIGINAL PRESS RELEASE:Special Thanks to Amie Waters for letting us use her amazing cover of the Myst theme! Please visit https://linktr.ee/amiewatersmusic for coordinates to her YouTube channel, Patreon, and other ways to follow and support her amazing work!-----SPOKANE, Washington, April 1st, 2021FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:Cyan, the indie studio that created beloved classics Myst and Riven, announces the release of a completely revolutionary, never-before seen Virtual Reality gaming experience called... Myst Sayber!Myst Sayber is a virtual reality rhythm game developed and published exclusively by Cyan. The game takes place in a polygonal neon environment and features the player slicing red and blue pages being thrown at them representing musical beats with a pair of contrasting colored pen “saybers.” We want to emphasize: this is a completely original idea. No other game has created a red and blue colored beat slashing game before!Naturally the game will feature the captivating remixed music from the game Myst which is sure to bring excitement (and a great workout!) to your totally unique virtual reality gaming experience! Match wits against big bosses Sirrus and Achenar as they throw red and blue pages at you in an attempt to thwart your quest to rescue Atrus from his imprisonment in D’ni… With an entirely fresh concept, and gameplay unlike anything the world has ever seen before, Cyan is proud to announce that Myst Sayber will be launching as part of an exclusive partnership with Tik Tok’s just-announced foray into the world of VR gaming: Vik Rok! Additionally, Myst Sayber will be available later in the year to iPhone users on Clubhouse, for the beloved Nintendo Virtual Boy platform, and, of course, for our many, many Sega Genesis fans!About CyanCyan is a legendary indie games studio allegedly headquartered in Mead, Washington, and is best known for games such as Spelunx and the Caves of Mr. Seudo, Cosmic Osmo: Hex Isle, and Bug Chucker. When not confined to our homes in a pandemic, we've been known to gather in various “undisclosed locations” on important dates such as 3.14 and 5.4 each year for delicious pie and barbecue!For more information on Cyan, visit cyan.com

Creating Firmament: Will It Blend? Cyan 2021-02-02 | With host: Eric A. AndersonIn Unreal, environments are made up of individual building block objects which are placed next to one another.

Fortunately there are ways to "hide the crimes" (as our friend Adam Savage would say) and in this video Eric goes into specifics of exactly how he does that.Cyan is focusing more on video than ever before.
