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! ...

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 »
On the 7th of November 2020, Cyan Worlds announced the first annual Myst Island Cake Baking Contest, under the #MystIslandCake hashtag. 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 »
There’s a running joke amongst my friends that I’m an actual time-travelling mad scientist – mostly because it’s more true than false. So I figured, why not run with it a little and have some fun with it. So that’s what I’ve done here – I’ve restored this old Mad Scientist’s Knife Switch into perfect... Read More »

For the 2018 Supanova pop culture convention in Brisbane, Australia I had the ridiculous idea to make three very similar costumes following three rules: Internet memes That are at least 15 years old Involving a giant banana I still can’t believe that I managed to get three costumes out of something so restrictive. To go... 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...

I live in a house that has the occasional indoor dampness & mould problem after heavy rain, so years ago I purchased a sizeable dehumidifier. The way it works is similar to a standard air-conditioner except the hot and cold sides are right next to each other, to make it far more efficient and much... Read More »
This is a project I’ve been working on for six years – a replica linking book from the video game Myst… Aka, a real Myst book. (click to embiggen) This is a “working” replica of a Myst linking book. It’s made out of a copy of the same book Cyan originally scanned as a... Read More »
