You really should make Ryven a game. And also I'm thinking of doing the same thing (when I learn CAD and flash).

Hey there I'm Atrus' Boss, CEO of Cyan, Inc. Good work, but watch the copyrights. lol. You need some updating... Myst 3 will be called Exile. Watch for it.. it will be out soon. Keep writing

I love the game Myst and it took me awhile to get through it but it was a lot of fun . It's a game you can't quit. Riven on the other hand is a litle harder for me . I don't understand something , I heard there is a Myst III soming and 2001 but the way th y make it sound is that Myst III is after Myst and I thought Riven was after Myst and that it was the last one of the games anyway i think everyone should play them both at least once and have a great time .

Comments:
Brilliant site you have created!

Comments:
Greetings! Just a note to tell you I enjoyed your artwork. Your world was done with great detail. I'm surprised you're not working for Cyan already! In case you don't know, you can apply for a job with them at their site at cyan.com. Seriously, you do hav the gift...or do you know that already? Karoh

GREAT GRAPHICS! GET OUT OF THE RYVEN NAME. THIS IS "THE ART" MAKE A LINKING BOOK AND GIVE THIS AGE OF YOURS YOUR TOTALLY UNIQUE NAME. THERE ARE SOME GUYS INTO MYST THAT HAVE THE START OF SOME DECENT AGES IN TEXT. THEY NEED YOU ,TOO. TRY THE WEB SITES OF THE RIVENGUILD. THINK ABOUT IT. THE WHOLE MYST/RIVEN GAMES, ATRUS, T'ANA AN D'NI BOOKS WILL MAKE STAR WARS LOOK LIKE THE MOVIE: 2001 (OLD YET STILL AND ALWAYS A CLASSIC) WHEN THE SERIES OF MYST MOVIES HIT HOLLYWOOD. YOU GOT THE GIFT DUDE! GO FOR IT

Great stuff! Fantastic! What else can I say to encourage you to continue? I really enjoyed it. Has Cyan offered you a job yet? :-) Walt

Have a look at my site and see what you think! It is still under development but please sign my guestbook!

I'm a pro animator. So, I know you must be mad and a mega-nerd doing this all by yourself. It looks very very very nice. You got to 90% of the Riven quality, with this old funky 3D studio. Congratulations. You would be a top employee for any studio, that s if you don't already work at one.

Pretty cool! I wish I could create images like that on MY computer!

Pretty cool. I wish I knew how to create images like that.

COOL Page! How'd you do the graphics?

Comments:
Haven't had the time to finish Riven yet but really like it. Love your site - you are very creative. Had a few problems navigating but that could be me. I also enjoyed reading your comments about the making of Ryven - got a chuckle here and there! Kee playing!

Comments:
Love Ryven. It inspired me to make my own Age, except mine is going to be a program and not web-based. Keep up the good work!

Hi! If you ever update this site again, please write RIVEN instead of RYVEN. kinda bugs me¨(-: xxx mela

Cool game. Its alot like Myst.Hope you finnish it soon.I came on becaus my computer isnt playing CDs so I cant play and Im addicted.

Comments:
Please, please update this again!

Comments:
Instead of having a link that says "Enter Ryven", make a linking book pic with a linking image. it would look so cool. If you can (which I wouldn't even if someone asked me to), animate the images from the portholes. Still bubbles look a little funny. ove the sounds! And the graphics are awesome too. Another thing, in the little terrarium/plant thing, make the plants look more life-like. No offense, but they look like cartoons. I LOVE THIS GAME! I'd send this to the ppl that made Riven for the hec of it, if I were you.

Comments:
Ryven! Is there any perticuler theme there?

Comments:
get in touch with Rickard Johansson and perhapse you could get Ryven posted in the rivenguild library

Comments:
Great Game Can't wait for the rest?

Just like to say waht a kewl ryven game- I just got Riven yesterday and I"m enjoying it very much :)

Comments:
Bonjour. I votre homepage est intéressant. Combien de temps avez-vous été sur l'Internet? Quoi qu'il en soit, je dois aller vague déferlante plus de pages de Web. Bon e Chance!

Comments:
I love this page. I still have it on my favorites even though I have not noticed any updates until now. Your page was the very first geocitites page I went to, and now I have my own page. I have cheated my way through Riven and am going to play Myst more oon. Wonderful job, and I would love to know how you did your layouts and graphics!

Comments:
I like Ryven!!! Very nice, not a Riven clone, but the same feel. Also, I think it's cool that it's not full of Java and stuff, 'cause I have a problem with getting Java pages to work right. What mouse village? Is it inside the tree dome? I couldn't get farther than the telesco

Comments:
Very cool graphics and good idea (in making an age on the I-net and all). I didn't know things like this existed!

Comments:
This is great! Probably the best I've seen in this genre. Keep rendering :)

Comments:
Amazing graphics! Very cool, but the end comes too soon!

Comments:
Cool renderings

Comments:
Cool site, even though it's never updated. Some pretty good 3DS MAX work, and a different (but not never before done) approch at rendering water. I also noticed that many of the people who posted on the message board are wondering how to do 3D graphic d signs, well if you want to know just swing by my web-page and join the group.

Comments:
Great site, I love it, but you REALLY need to update Riven. It was supposed to have been updated...4 months ago?

Comments:
Good

Comments:
I like your age very much. It would be nice if it was bigger, but its off to a great start. I have a very fast net connection (T1 ethernet) and I could move about your age very well. Keep it up!

Comments:
I like Riven but how do you finish the game?

Comments:
Very impressive. My dang server is too clunky to do this "age" justice. So get busy and put together a disc version, would ya?

Comments:
This site is sooo cool!I can't wait until you upload mor gameplay! P.S. What Mouse village?

Comments:
Excellent work! Your artwork really struck a chord with me, cuz I'm designing an adventure game myself. It's only in the conceptual stages, but still, your work is great incentive! All I want for Christmas is Lightwave 3D... I know this is probably al you hear, but your really ought to add the the game and make it longer. It seemed like you treated us to amazing visual splendor, then before you know it, the game's over! One last thing: did you make the textures yourself, or copy/manipulate the ones from Riven? Keep up the great work!

Comments:
I might suggest you make an age book and submit this age to the rivenguild library.

Comments:
This is quite interesting... how much do you plan to do? Did you use any of the preexisting game graphics in your stills? And what are the functions of the buildings in your stills?

Comments:
WOW!

Comments:
very impressive work on island puzzle ... i was looking for any info on a "sequel to riven" as i have completed two preceeding (assuming there will be a 3rd)until such time i will become a regular to ryven..there aft for that matter

Comments:
I think this is great that you are able to do this. I wish I were as talented. I hope you enjoy riven it is a great game. There is too much to see in one game

Well done-oughtta make it into a real game

If you're intrested in producing sort of rivenesque games, I'm doing a sequel to an old Hypercard game I made several years ago. It got a lot of its inspiration from riven, but isn't really a direct imitation, it was originally called "Crawl Space" becaus it takes place mostly in the innards of a strange vehicle. I want my thing to be more of a detached and haunting sci-fi thing. Just drop me a line if this intrigues you.

Why the heck did you do those graphics?!?! I think you spent WAY too long on them!!!!

Nice renderings in the Ryven! Were they done in softimage?

This is an awesome site! I'm and avid Myst and Riven fan and this is the only game that comes close to the caliber of those two. If Cyan knew of your skills and of this world you created, they would probably hire you to work with them. The sound is a litt e less than impressive but that can always be changed. Other than that, the game could challange any of the other Myst immitations (Which are'nt all that increadible.) I would recommend this site to any Myst and Riven lover. Keep up the good work!!!

Comments:
I really like your site, and I like Ryven. You aren't planning to actualy make this a real game sold in stores are you? Because if you do, I'd definately buy it!

Comments:
First of all, I think your Ryven stuff was awsome! Second of all, I want you to e-mail me (if you can) your answers to theese two questions: 1. What do you like better, Riven or Myst (i, myself, like Riven better because it is more intense, fun, and challenging because in Myst, all you have to do is turn on all the marker switches, then turn off the one at the dock, pull the paper out, bring i to the fireplace, enter the figure, and give it to Atrus! In Riven, you have to play the whole game to win!) 2.Did you make those pictures from Ryven yourself?!? If so, how the hell did you do that!?! They are amazing! They look from something out of Myst or Riven, they really do! Well, that's all I have to write. Now I will go to see your mouse village. (whatever that is!) Bye!

Comments:
Marvelous job. Too bad some people can’t see you are just another (rather talented) fan like us. I guess we, who like Riven and Myst as much as you are able to understand...

Comments:
The graphics in the game completely blew my away. So it may be a short game but the graphics make up for that. Hope to see more of you.

Comments:
You do amazing work. The quality of the environment for a web page is wonderfull. To top it off the server and your code are quick.

Comments:
You seem like a very intelligent man. The start that you have on Ryven is immaculate. I hope that you continue in its production.

First I stripped her naked. How she did kick-bite and scratch. I choked her to death,Then cut her in small pieces so I could take my meat to my rooms,cook and eat it. How sweet and tender her little ass was roasted in the oven.It took me 9 days to eat her entire body. I did not fuck her though I could of had I wished she died a virgin.

Comments:
You,You,Why are you trying to rip of Myst or Riven.Did you ever think how much time the people at Broardburd & Cyan have worked on these games? You are taking all of the glory out of these games.Myst and Riven were the two most fun games I have ever played.You people make me sick.You people just use other peoples ideas to further yourself.Last you make me sick people like you make me sick. You a e riping off one of the greatest games of all times.Maybe you should have thought about this before you did it.Get an original idea and go with it dont rip off all these peoples hard work.As always the pleasure was all yours Ima Sandwich

Comments:
I stumbled upon a world that reminded me of others. Yet somehow, this world was different. What you've created here is stunning. I was immersed in its beauty and found it hard to tear myself away. I, like many, have the imagination to create such worlds, but unfortunately lack the skill. Make 'Ryven' a reality!

Comments:
Wow...I'm impressed. Please become a computergamedesigner will you and make a game even more gorgeous than Riven - you sure have talent!! Love,Lena (hugh Rivenfan)

Hello. You have something going for you here. Your images remind me of myself. Ever since I beat Riven and Myst and read the three books I've wanted to create my own worlds on my pc. But they've never gotten farther than my head or a sheet of paper. eep up the good work. You have a creative mind buddy. Use it. Don't waste it. Email me sometime. Adam

To explore all the Books and Ages is the most challenging and interesting quests of all. May all those who seek knowledge enjoy.

You are doing a great job with this page. I hope you get to make your game. That would be cool.

Comments:
Wonderful work. Wish I could create stuff like it.

I liked your site, I was looking for some information about Riven, 'cause I just bought it and it is very difficult to move around and to get to different places. for now, keep up the good work and good luck in everything you do. Frank

Comments:
Man, I love your Ryven. And your page inspired me. Now, I am writing an age inspired totally by Ryven. Of couse, I could never be able to make graphics like yours. Thank you!

Comments:
(My apologies for not leaving an e-mail address. I have only been "loaned" the use of this machine for the day. Also, I found your home page a little too violent for my taste.) I enjoyed your Ryven scenery and hope that you are able to develope a story for it that you are pleased with. If not, I empathize--creating your own world is much more fun than simply copying others, but a heck of a lot more difficult and time consuming. I envy you your computer ability if not your sense of humor.

I'm in awe! I fell in love with Myst and Riven from the beginning and I think everything you've done is wonderful! "Well, now you've got the justice you deserve. You can stay here in the little haven you've created for youself, in your tiny island universe, and play god with your 'creations'. " ~Atrus to Ghen : )#1

I was really impressed with with what you've done. I think the mouse idea should be fleshed out some more just for the hell of it. It looks like too much fun to leave it alone. Your Riven tribute is wild. You've really managed to capture the feel of th games, but I can see your point in wanting to go off on your own tangent. Keep it up, it all looks great! I'll be stopping by to see the latest now and then.

I like your journal.

You made all this stuff? AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

Comments:
Very well done. I think you have nothing to apologize for. Since I've finishe Riven, and the brothers Rand won't be coming out with anything new for awhile, this was an unexpected pleasure: to be able to explore a new area. Thanks.

Comments:
Your graphics are cool. Your words are funny. When I grow up I'm gonna make computer games as a hobby. Of course, marine biology will bring the money in.

Great game! The graphics and sounds are great, and you did a good job of immitating Myst and Riven. I think these graphics are better than the ones in Myst! Just wondering, is it supposd to be an island around the Riven chain? E-mail me when you're don with the site. Again, good job!

Hey, neat site. As you can see, I got here with webtv (I have a playstation), but I'm thinking of buying a computer and I really would like to know what kind of set-up you're running, if you wouldn't mind taking a few seconds. I'd like to do some not TOO omplex graphics and I figure anything that can do this level of artwork is a place to start. Thanks for any help you might be able to offer.

I don;t understand what he means by dark. I don't think it's dark, literally or otherewise.

It is obvious that you are good at what you do, and that is appreciated. Yet, personally I don't like the "dark" presentation of this place. When you find out who I am, and visit my page you will understand why. But again, you are good at what you do.
