This project has never been dead - not to say it is anywhere near release, but, it has never been dead and will not be in the near future.
I have chosen, or been chosen, to lead this project, which will be set in the Myst universe but not directly related to the Myst storyline. Players will not be expected to know anything about the Myst universe already, so if you have never played Myst, you will not feel lost.
At this stage of the development I am focusing heavily on making the gameplay dynamic. I feel that the time has come to stop making adventure games revolve around pushing little buttons, and The Source Ages will reflect that accordingly. Much of the gameworld will be much more interactive than it has ever been in a Myst game.
We are currently looking experienced people with a desire to make a Myst game. If you are interested in helping with this project or just have some questions feel free to e-mail me.
Watch for new content. We should have something for you to see soon.
