    Stop Making Sense! writes: "First, an overview: To put it simply, Cyan has been a very busy little adventure game company lately. So busy, in fact, that it has left the job of a third Myst sequel, Myst III:Exile, to the notorious Presto Studios. With the impending release of realMyst, a realtime 3D version of Myst, and the accompanying Demo and Trailer, quite a few revelations about Cyan's long-term project have been woefully missed by most. A word about this project, before we get to the sweetness: It is codenamed MUDPIE." (Read on for more.) [updated by timothy] Due to a defective brain node, certain sentences were posted redundantly in this story. The node has been cauterized, and the sentences too.

    "It is going to be an organic, realtime multiplayer game running on the same 'Headspin' 3D engine (which Cyan bought from the now-defunct Headspin Technologies along with a bunch of Headspin's programming staff)as realMyst and is going to take place in the Myst/Riven universe.

    In the blizzard of Myst information, the sweetest snippet of all has basically gotten lost in the shuffle: a Screenshot of MUDPIE. People think at first it's a small chamber until the realize that the blob front and center is a person.

    The engine is very pretty and relatively low on bugs, if a bit slow. Some people think the edges of the front pillars aren't soft enough, but they look fine to me :). For more info and clarification, see [this info page on Cyan's site]."
