![]() Heretic was a 1994 first person shooter by Raven software using the Doom engine. ![]() Tonight, this thursday evening, at about 10:30pm EST we’ll be hosting a Heretic server for some deathmatch action. Currently on the 22nd, they are almost exactly at half-way. It has a month from it’s October 17th starting date, ending November 16th. Myst and it’s sequels should be in any vintage computer game collection and I have a very good feeling about Cyan’s new IP. ![]() As you can see from the video, they want their vision uncompromisingly so, and good! The fate of the project goes to the fans. I think given the developer’s success, they could bring a exploration adventure to the table and get a big publisher deal but that’s not going to happen. Cyan’s games are legendary, influential and pretty damn successful. However, I always find myself booting them back up the feel of mystery and dread they created was special and I know I’m not alone. I’ve been terrible and lost-prone in every Cyan game I’ve tried. The more money put in, the bigger and bolder the game is. They’ve kept their company tight, small and independent on purpose not only to keep development focused but also to build-in some reward for backers of the project. The game is said to have a very traditional focus with next-gen visuals (Unreal4 tech should look great) and I trust Cyan on that. What makes Obduction exciting, besides the very cool style of the concepts and the pedigree of the developers, Cyan, (Creators of the Myst series) is what I’m hearing from them. There are and have been a lot of gaming revival and spiritual successor Kickstarter campaigns worth backing.
