@@picklesnoutpenobscott3165 There's no real value to these books *apart* from the fact that it was used in Myst. They're literally just reprints of old magazine articles, produced as cheaply as possible. Usually you buy stacks of these kinds of books by the *metre* to fill out bookcases for set dressing, nobody is after individual books of this type.

Apparently this is a very common book, they made a lot of them and they are still available

As someone who has made hollow out books a few time. In the future, mix up 2 part glue, 1 part water. Using a brush you coat all the sides of the book. The water will help pull the glue in to the pages to help secure it. Let it dry. Then you can cut out to your hearts content. Then once you have your hollowed out area, use the same glue to glue in the side (similar to your epoxy spread).

Aww we're so glad you guys enjoyed the video!

Myst was my very first video game EVER and holds a very special place in my heart. So many happy childhood memories of me and my dad playing through the series, solving puzzles together and and developing our own theories around the infinite amount of lore in the game. Sadly, not many people my age know it (I started playing it just around the time that URU released), so I don't get to talk about it with other people as much as I would like to. But every time someone even vaguely mentions Myst, it fills my heart with endless amounts of joy and nostalgia. Thank you for making this project! It made a weird nerd from the other side of the world very very happy :D

@punishedprops

3 жыл бұрын

Aww that's so wonderful!

I took Myst down in a 3 day weekend marathon when I was in my early teens. It was a breakthrough for me at the time, having been diagnosed ADD. It taught me that I could focus, if I was interested enough. And man was that game captivating. Even more so the sequels. It has been the benchmark that I hold to my adventure puzzle gaming experiences to date. I played all the way through the third game, Exile, taking about two days each time. And Riven was such a leap forward, I actually bought the coffee table book they produced about its development, “From Myst to Riven”. I’d always hoped the world of Myst and the D’ni would reassert itself as gaming progressed, especially in mobile platforms, but sadly it seems Cyan has mostly relegated it to the “History” shelf for now, with only a simple app port of the first two games. Fireproof games have released what I think of as the spiritual successor to the Myst series in their app based puzzlers The Room 1-3 and Old Sins. Worth checking out if you haven’t.

I've only just started watching this vid, but THANK YOU! If anyone was going to do a MYST build it was gonna be you guys! This game was pre-internet, back when PAPER books were mainstream, and was such a precursor to every puzzle-solving/adventure game that's come since. The fact that technology has now caught up to what was pure fantasy back then is amazing. Who would imagine that books could talk to the reader as if you where in the same room? Thank you Britt and Bill for making another old nerd happy, yet again!

My eyes lit up seeing this video! Not many people know about Myst, and its other 2 games Riven and Exile. I used to play the whole trilogy with my dad when I was younger, we had the walkthrough books and everything about it. I was fortunate to inherit the books and game set from him when he passed away a few years ago and it will always hold a special place in my heart. Those game discs hold hours of memories for me and I hope they do for you guys as well. (the ironic thing about growing up playing this game was that we played it in the early 2000s and I was just barely a teenager at the time. thankful I grew up with awesome games like this)

This is literally one of my favorite games from my childhood. Partially because it was just so good and partially because the memories I have playing it with my dad. He wasn't really into video games but he liked this one and we would take turns playing it (me while he was at work and him in the evenings) and sharing our notes, hand drawn maps, and passcodes. Riven stumped us and we never ended up finishing it but we had a lot of fun with both.
