For my secret project for Mysterium 2023, I’ve spent the past 8 months making a replica of one of Gehn’s holographic Imagers from the game Riven: The Sequel to Myst… And thanks to some patent-pending new tech I’ve developed that I’m calling an Andotrope, I’m excited to say that the holographic part actually functions! ...

It’s Riven‘s 26th anniversary! In honour of the occasion, I’ve spent roughly 350 hours upgrading the Riven Journals, marking their largest and most significant update since their original restoration in 2006. What’s New: Implemented support for mobile/tablet touch devices, with adjusted & enlarged click/tap areas throughout. Puzzles using drag-and-drop mechanics have been modified to incorporate...

I’m a bit late sharing this on my website, but here’s our entry for the second annual @cyanworlds #CyanCake2 competition! This entry is set 25 years after Riven’s demise. With the rest of the villagers having moved in, Tay’s hive became full, so they built additional huts along the cliffs… …Or I’ve come up with... Read More »
What’s that? Today’s Riven: the Sequel to Myst‘s 25th Anniversary? And because the whole game is based around the number 25, that makes it an extra special anniversary?? Time for me to release something extra special then! Time for me to release a fully restored version of Riven Elementary. Download Riven Elementary Restored What’s... Read More »

I couldn’t resist having a go… Around 60 hours of work between us later, here’s the end result! (YouTube link in case the above video doesn’t work for you) We started with planing the... Read More »
My wall clock in my house recently died, and with there being a running joke that I’m a time traveller thanks to my DeLorean, I thought I might as well build a replacement clock myself so it could be extra unique. Here’s what I came up with: a self-setting, self-correcting, self-adjusting wall clock/chronometer that tells... Read More »
The #Myst25 Myst 25th Anniversary Kickstarter rewards are finally getting sent out! Since I got lucky & somehow managed to be one of the first in the world to gain access to one, I thought I’d post some photos & a bit of a review of them. Particularly since I’m the guy who made the... Read More »
If you haven’t already heard, Cyan are running a Kickstarter campaign for Myst’s 25th anniversary! For $99USD you can get a copy of all the games (including the elusive 3 & 4), updated for modern Windows & Mac computers, plus it comes in a box that looks like a Myst linking book. Or for $169USD...

It’s been so long since I updated my personal website, I decided to just start from scratch with a whole new one. Something that’s not, well, entirely coded by hand in Notepad so maybe I’ll be more likely to update it as updates will be easier. I’ll re-add more old content whenever I get around... Read More »
That’s right, the Riven Journals are back online! You can read more about them below or dive right in. I recommend beginning with either the middle Journal or the rightmost Journal, and leave the leftmost Journal for last – you need to solve the other four before you’ll know how to solve the leftmost one,...
