Screen Invasion Interview
Today we have a special surprise for you. We were recently interviewed by Screen Invasion about the project and its direction for the future; you can read (and listen to) the interview there as well as check out some new screenshots!

Wow, how exciting!

Is it just me or do the clouds considerably better and less flat now than compared to the demo?
April 3rd, 2013 at 8:20 pm
Those seem to be the clouds from the original game… I think these are original screenshots with fancy wireframe stuff pasted over them, to demonstrate the camera matching. Just a wild guess though 😉
April 3rd, 2013 at 8:22 pm
You’re correct; the screenshots just serve to show how we’ve matched the geometry of the original game. All the textures you see (including the sky) are not our own but part of the original render from Riven.

Speaking of camera matching… More dev blog please! It’s interesting reading material, and it’s been so long since the last post 🙁
April 3rd, 2013 at 8:34 pm
We’ll… think about it. 😉

Very cool, guys. Are you graduating from college this year or do you still have more time to go?

Oh my heck you guys! I see all the screenshots and demos and videos you guys are putting out there and I want to die because they’re so beautiful and resemble the original game so well! 😀 Love what you are doing, keep up the awesome work ;D

Any chance we can get any subtitles ? Even if browsing the web in English is easy, understanding voice is not always simple, especially when people are talking fast.

Great idea! I don’t have a bunch of time to contribute at the moment, so I started a Google Doc anybody can edit. Let me know if there are any problems.

I’m transcribing the recording at https://soundcloud.com/starryexpanse/screen-invasion-interview by the way, because it’s a little more edited and concise.

Hey guys I have a question. I was able to get the original riven to work on my mac running Lion 10.75 by downloading Riven X and downloading a torrent of the game. It overall works great, and I played it in it’s original resolution I believe, which was a small-sized window. I was wondering however, what the original resolution for Riven is? Also, although the quality is pretty good when I play it, the quicktime videos are a little fuzzy. Does any one else have a suggestion of maybe another site to download the game in top quality for mac? Maybe I have the best resolution there is and it wont get any better, I’m not sure. Hope this all made sense.

I have a question: is there any chance you might get the orginal models and textures from Cyan? That would save you a lot of time!

Screenshots ? News ?
May 23rd, 2013 at 9:15 pm
we’re not dead!

Hey! It would be amazing if you guys added a Forum to this site, I’d browse it quite a bit. We could talk about different parts of Riven, ideas for possible implementations of the new engine, our excitement for the completed project, etc.
May 24th, 2013 at 3:00 pm
then give us some dev-blog updates =D
May 27th, 2013 at 2:09 pm
Hello, was wondering if you guys have thought about starting a “kickstarter” for this project? If not, give it a go.
June 22nd, 2013 at 12:22 pm
Thanks for the suggestion. We’re not planning a Kickstarter right now, but it’s an option for the future!

Now vacation is coming, smells good for Starry Expanse project. Can’t wait to see what’s coming. Wonder if Zib can give us a little preview ? 🙂
June 28th, 2013 at 3:09 pm
At the mysterium this year ? 🙂
July 1st, 2013 at 8:27 am
Hey guys not sleeping !
I have a simple question:
Is the starry expanse project again this year (2013) at the Mysterium ?
Waiting for an answer 🙂
July 4th, 2013 at 3:49 pm
Both Zib and ironmagma will be at Mysterium, and we’ll be presenting Friday, August 2nd. See you there!
