For The Press - A Project Summary

Feb
17

I hated doing it, but I had to. The entry puzzle originally at the front of this site - the one which required visitors to enter a sequence of numbers before they gained entry to the blog - has been removed. As we prepare the site to be a resource for the masses (not just the fans — sorry guys) we have to simplify things so that entrance is quick and painless. Having a stop-gap before the blog also prevents us from permeating the blog sphere like we hope to do.

In the meantime, for those of you who haven’t experienced it, I’ve put a link up that will hold the puzzle for a while. Kudos go to PhilippH for figuring out the logic behind the order. All in all, it’s been a very good payoff for all the hard work (and something to put on my Flash resume — heh). Link is at: http://mystmovie.com/entry_puzzle.html.

Hey, there are a couple of things that I still don’t get about the puzzle… what was the purpose of the red-tinted image (which didn’t get to be completed) and of that sign-up page that appeared twice over the course of the puzzle?



You’ll find out…

Ok… O_O

Are you at least supposed to say if that image is a representation of D’ni? I know that there’s at least one real-world building in there ;-)



Concept Artists commonly use photoreferences in their work. It is a way to get the ball rolling. Our artist, Christopher Petrocchi, used a few architectual references given to him by us to create the rendering. This artwork is by no means the finalized version of anything. We commissioned the work to provide us with a tangible, visual representation of the world we’re creating. Its primary function is to establish tone and inspiration.

Were you guys really hacked that one time, or was that just something you put up?



“You’ll find out…”

So there is more of the puzzle to be solved? How about the translations?

I’m really excited for this…

I would love to know what this film’s going to follow… One of the books… the games… Myst’s history…



I wanted to post and this looks like a good spot. This is all very exciting and I’ve been following it since it started this year. I love you guys…you are awesome! Just keep plugging away at it. I’m glad you never gave up, going through all the heartache. Thanks so much for sharing it all.



BTW, where can I get the full image, above, for my desktop? Or do you have another image suitable?



Lol, hate to reference an old post.

Try downloading the page once, then immediately open another tab. The lightshow is spectacular.
