A few weeks again after working our Conflict Tales piece on Oddworld, we took a possibility and printed an prolonged lower of the interview with Oddworld author Lorne Lanning. Readers answered rather well to the prolonged interview, so we are doing it once more—this time with Myst author Rand Miller.
To supply our Conflict Tales video on Myst and its CD-ROM-based design demanding situations, we spent roughly all the day on the Cyan workplaces in stunning Washington state, the place Rand and his staff had been the very soul of hospitality (they even insisted on purchasing espresso for the group whilst we had been taking pictures). The pastoral surroundings—the entirety regarded such a lot like Myst island!—introduced out the storyteller in Rand and, as normally occurs with these items, we were given far more tales and stories of sport design out of him than we ever may have stuffed right into a 15-minute video.
So right here we’re, with Rand unleashed. Listen extra concerning the ingenious procedure in the back of The Manhole and the mystical device that was once HyperCard! See Rand speak about Cosmic Osmo and the transition from black and white to paint sport design! Really feel the… uh… OK, there is not any tactile part to this entire deal, so you will have to get a hold of one thing by yourself to really feel. (Perhaps clutch a Myst field and provides it a squeeze, or, you already know, no matter you are into.)
Conflict Tales continues to chug alongside, too. Here is a little bit of a tease: what do a rotoscoped prince, an orange marsupial with pink footwear, and a neuroscientist named “Karan” all have in not unusual? They are all topics of just about whole Conflict Tales movies! Keep tuned to Ars, as a result of we are bringing extra love—quickly.
