HEY EVERYONE! I’ve entered into Cyanworlds’ Riven Cake contest on Twitter. Here are the cakes I’ve made.

This golden beetle viewer is a chocolate fudge cake with chocolate ganache covering with fontant for details. The shell is white chocolate painted gold with edible paint and the wings are isomalt.

This one I did with the leftover cake pieces. Its a Whark statue with choco-fudge cake, white chocolate ganache, and chocolate fondant as the main covering, with plain fondant and edible paint for details.

Here are the references from in game I used. If you’ve never played Riven, I cannot recommend it higher. It was the first videogame I ever played and it still holds up today.

If you like these cakes, go check out all the other entries people have done under the #CyanCake2 on Twitter.

20 years ago today Riven: the Sequel to Myst was released! To celebrate its anniversary, I've just finished work on another major upgrade to the Riven Journals. Check them out at https://www.riumplus.com/riven-journals/

What's new: - The background music now plays on more modern browsers (including on most smartphones) - There’s a new compatibility shim to display the mouse hover text, which replaces window.status which has been deprecated for quite some time - All Perl code has been modified to work with newer versions of the language, which means the cookie handling parts work properly again. This means all .cgi pages work, there’s no more script errors, and Journal 5 is actually completeable now - All PHP code has been modified to now work with version 7 of the language - Personally checked that the Easter Eggs are actually accessible, since no one’s found them yet (they’re pretty hard to find!) - A couple backend logic errors have been corrected (which were present in the original Riven Journals… I have no idea how I missed them for so long) - The Prefetching code has been updated with more hints, which should make browsing around the Riven Journals super fast with very quick page load times

.....And just to add a little extra icing on the cake for the anniversary, it’s my pleasure to unveil some previously-unreleased, never-before-seen Riven concept art of the schoolroom Wahrk counting number game. Enjoy. :)

Any fans of Myst or Riven out there? Today we have the fearsome whark. Ngl, this was one of my favorite of the creatures to find. On the other side of a glass wall, that is.

 Whark Commissions for Obduction?

add a limited edition numbering, maybe on a tag, and i would love to have all the Wharks meet up at a Mysterium.

Hey that’s a good idea! D’ni numerals, of course. I haven’t actually sent any out yet, so I could still implement this. I don’t really know how many I should make though...?
