![]() With all of that out of the way, let's get down to the meat of things. Only a limited area of Myst Island is available in Myst Online: Uru Live, as the focus of the game is on the entire D'ni culture, and not just Myst Island. It is a world that has been written by a member of the D'ni culture, and the original contact point between our world and the caverns of D'ni. So what's this "Myst" then, you ask? Shouldn't it be called "D'ni?" Myst Island is the setting of the original " Myst" game, and home to some of those D'ni exceptions I mentioned earlier. Of course, this leads to puzzles and adventure fun for anyone who joins in the restoration effort and aids in exploring these great and amazing "ages" of D'ni. The goal of the project is to investigate the D'ni culture and rebuilt what has been lost to the decay of time. What's currently going on down in the D'ni caverns is a restoration effort spearheaded by normal people, like you and I. The current D'ni culture, however, is extinct except for a few small exceptions. Placing your hand on the image teleports the user to the newly created world, called an " age" by the D'ni people. ![]() Under the surface of the Earth lies the ruined civilization of a culture known as the D'ni (pronounced dun-NEE), a race that possessed the god-like power to create their own worlds through an advanced form of writing books known as " the Art." These books, when completed, do not show words but instead an incredibly life-like picture of the place they "link" to. In an attempt to pass the glee on to you, loyal readers of, I've compiled not only what Myst Online: Uru Live is all about, but why you should turn your attention to this massive online adventure game.įor those of you unfamiliar with the Myst line of games, let me give you a brief rundown of what's going on. Mike Fahey over at Kotaku might think Uru should die already, but this blogger is currently squealing in glee in his computer chair. Ubisoft canned it, Cyan Worlds brought it back via a shard system in " Until Uru", GameTap brought it back officially, GameTap canned it after one season, and now Cyan Worlds is once again attempting to put life back into their only online Myst game thanks to the extremely active and vocal community. Myst Online: Uru Live seems to be one game that not only continually gets the proverbial shaft, but also knows how to come back from the dead better than the Scourge of the Eastern Plaguelands. Wall wanted the music to have a sense of purpose while still preserving interactivity, so he composed "reward music" for completing puzzles and recorded the score with a real orchestra.Shorah, readers! Kehnehn rahm b'yihm shehm! Miller, according to Wall, felt that "melody could easily get in the way of the experience of playing the game", but Wall felt that some melody provided something thematic for the player to grasp. In preparation for his composition, Wall studied Miller's music, noting that he and Miller differed on their use of music theory. Wall also echoed Irish's opinion that he wanted to make a very different score from the "wonderful sonic pastiche" of Myst and Riven, yet still recognizable as a sequel to the earlier games Wall considered copying Miller's style as the "safe" yet unappealing route that was expected of him. It had to be recognizable as Myst, but unique and distinctive." Wall looked at the increasing complexity of games as an opportunity to give players a soundtrack with as much force as a movie score. Irish stated that developing the music was one of the hardest aspects of Exile: "We had to match or exceed the surrealistic style of music that Robyn had pioneered. Jack Wall created the score for the third installment of the series. ![]()
