…are time. Uru open source is a hobby. Things move very slowly. Along comes Obduction! Now Obduction is funded, a good thing. But, this may well mean that Cyan has less time to work on Uru Live. Or it may not affect their available time at all. After all Obduction is going to be an 8 to 5 work project. So spare time may remain the same. At Cyan there’s a lot of excitement about Obduction. I think the ‘excitement’ is going to take more time away fro… Continue reading
…. Obduction Release Game Tyrant has an article about their experience with OBDUCTION at the Cyan offices. See: Exclusive: We Played OBDUCTION, the Spiritual Successor to MYST and it is Brilliant. That Spiritual Successor idea apparently comes from TV Tropes. I suspect Cyan will copy what they consider their winning strategy in the Myst series. I do believe that is probably an accurate label to hang on OBDUCTION. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IN… Continue reading
…not. The minimum hardware requirements are pretty high. See: Cyan Worlds’ Obduction July Release.

…the Obduction game… or can be. A previous hint… An email I received says: Obduction has already begun! We’re not talking about the Kickstarter campaign, or even the game production – the actual gameplay has started. They go on to explain what that means. I am told those around for the initial roll out of Myst-Uru Online that its startup was similar. There were lots of Alternate Reality hints spread around the RL world. I doubt we will see RL bill… Continue reading

…s of games. A couple of years ago they started a Kickstarter project named Obduction. Obduction will be the first PLAYABLE VR game released. I think the definition of playable is probably the key to that statement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsWHoOKa24E Previously planned to release in June this year, a number of reasons came together to move Cyan to shift the release date to July 26, 2016.
