Myst Creators Announce Obduction

Posted by Soulskill on from the just-in-case-you-myst-that-style-of-game dept.

vivIsel writes "Cyan, the company behind Myst, is taking another shot at an game in that vein — this time in a new game universe, with the Unreal 4 engine. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they haven't gotten a lot of traction with traditional game publishers, so they are turning to Kickstarter with a $1.1M total ask. The Kickstarter video also has some neat shots of the Cyan headquarters — which looks a bit like one of the buildings on Myst island itself."

  1. As a Linux user I want to support them, but... by wjcofkc · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I use Linux exclusively. According to their kickstarter page, Linux support is currently up in the air with no promises. This makes me weary as in the end that usually equates to no. I suppose I could dust of my MacBook, but all the same, I would rather be able to play it on my main OS of choice. If they could commit 100% to Linux support, they would already have my money. As long as they are not sure, then neither I am I.

    Licensing the Unreal engine means Linux ports are less likely, and the game is much more expensive.

    For what they're trying to do, why not go Unity like so many other Kickstarter games?
