OK Rand and Robyn, you guys have created the most amazing worlds to ever grace the computer games world... From 1 hour in... The brothers start discussing RIVEN and moral decisions and deep convos....
Riven is without doudt the greatest virtual world ever created.. It has changed a lot of people's lives... Please don't shrug that off...its been a very important part of my life!
Love this interview guys and really looking forward to the documentary... If even one of the ideas that Philip has talked about gets in, it will be incredible...
Thanks Miller bros for what you have done and made for us....it will never be forgotten. Or it has not yet been written 😉
I wish Rand and Robyn were interrupted less! They were talked over a few times, wish they were given more space to talk
i agree :(
Love how Robyn behaves like the act of creation is a mysterious process he doesn’t quite understand. Only a master of it would admit such mystery.
It actually would make it simple for others if people were more hoenst. For years I wanted to be like my favourite game designers, or musicians or filmmakers trying to reverse engineer and guess how they came to do such incredibly original stuff........and as the years went by adn they opened up more about it...and I grew up and saw and tried more things.........I realize almsot all of them just "winged" it......and had very little "mind" involved. It's basically following impulses and inspiration and that will THEN lead you to try very context specific things that other people may describe as an unique way of doing things.....................but we all have that. The idea there are rules and specific ways to go about doing things........or the total lack of self-awareness from some creators....of how easy things are for them and WHY.......is jsut kinda silly.
Wonderful hearing from the two guys that changed my life!
The LEGENDS Rand and Robyn. We LoVE you guys and love your games! THANK YOU!!!

Enjoyed this! And I'm a proud backer!
what a fantastic interview!
This is a great interview.
28:50 Had I played Myst back in the days and found myself stuck at the various puzzles, then of course I too would've stuck at it and just tried and tried for days until I got it right. Because back then, when I didn't have a literal library of games but just a select few I'd either gotten as presents or painstakingly saved up for, I actually PLAYED the games I had, and back then I also had the TIME to sit down and try and try and try. Nowadays though, as an adult with limited free time, and with the internet readily available, I want to enjoy the game I am playing but at the same time I don't wanna be stuck on it forever, so if I'm stuck for longer than 5 minutes, fuckit I'm looking up a guide, and then if the answer is something I know I could've figured out or that I think "oh, so I WAS on the right track" then I don't feel too bad about it.
Philip seems cool, I'm excited for the documentary. I like that Rand and Robyn seem to have a good relationship, not like some old band mates that are bitter and resentful. It's good to hear that they enjoy working together.
If they ever did get the band back together, with a meaty budget and decided to revisit the world's of Myst, maybe even re-imagine/reboot the series it would be a literal dream come true for me. I would personally love to see a remaster/reboot of Uru with a focus on single player and optional online play.
They could kickstart that shit and their budget would just explode xD
@@BeardedDanishViking True!
When I go on a watermelon kick, that's about what I can eat at a sitting. It's, like, 99% water, right? :D You do you, Rand!
What I wanna know is, because I've read that Rand made the decision to go from pre-rendered backgrounds and live actors to real-time 3D models in Myst 5 because he felt graphics had come far enough. If Myst was made today, would they have scrapped live actors altogether? Then again I think I do have the answer to that one, because in Myst VR the actors ARE replaced by 3D models, which were then patched out in favor of the old film clips because fans demanded it. So I guess that's a yes?
But then motion capture is the new hybrid.
@@0u0ak Yeah and I wish we used more live actors instead of digitizing them aka motion capture.
OMG, I am so excited for the documentary! I texted my whole family and I said, guys, there's a kickstarter to make a Myst documentary! And my sister texts me back and goes "WTF Drop the name! Drop the name!" xD I am so excited! Definitely going to contribute, I just need to decide how much! Thank you guys so much for giving of your time to tell this wonderful story!
THAT INTRO WAS LIT. I MISSED OUT. NOOOOO
