here's a cool video where one of the Myst creators talks about how they just barely made Myst work loading from a CD https://youtu.be/EWX5B6cD4_4
waitaminute Cyan still makes video games? that's awesome
@noiob yeah they somehow survived uru live
@pup_hime fun fact apparently you can still play that game
@noiob yeah its a whole thing
@pup_hime that's honestly impressive
thinking about Myst and oldschool survival horror
Myst's prerendered backgrounds and atmosphere make me think about classic survival horror. They're obviously not the same thing but I think there's parallels in why people like them. Obviously you have to think a lot less in, say, Resident Evil, but Silent Hill had the hard puzzle difficulty that is probably even harder than stuff in Myst
