Riven Team
Riven, the sequel to the best selling game
of all time, and winner of 7 major awards, including best graphics and
gameplay, is slated to come out on October 31, 1997. Though some retailers
might receive it by mid-October, they are not allowed to sell it before
the above date. riven has really come a long way from its ancestor, Myst.
Although they both have the same game engine, and the basic point and click
interface, Riven has been progressing in the graphics region a lot. The
graphics in it are 10 times more detailed, and are photo-realistic. That's
mostly beacause Cyan has gathered a lot more people to work n it than on
Myst. On Myst, there were only 5 people working in their garages with low
standard computers. But now, the Myst team has gotten 5 times bigger than
before. They have around 25 people working on top of the line computers,
with a lot more budget and time on their hands than before.
The
Story
In Riven you will be exploring five
different islands, solving puzzels in ordr for you to escape from Riven,
and save Atrus' wife, Catherine.
