Hi Rand!

Myst has been the defining game for me for a very, very long time (and it is my favorite series of games--ever). Thank you and everyone involved in the creation of Myst and the complex lore behind it for this wonderful series.

This is a simple question with a, likely, very complex answer.

How did the idea behind Myst, and the adventure start? Were you mauling over ideas, or did you have the concept in the back of your head for many years before you were able to start on the game?

I'm very excited for Obduction!

Thanks!

Thank you very much! I appreciate the answer, and the time you're taking to do this. I'm excited to see what the future holds. The backing for the Kickstarter really goes to show just how many people love Cyan, Myst, and all of the wonderful worlds you and your company have created.
