Here is the summary for yesterday’s Meeting, along with the raw and cleansed chatlogs kindly hosted by Doobes!

Ages of Doobes

Doobes was first, with an update on the four Ages he plans to release simultaneously, along with an expanded GoMe Pub. In particular, his last work is The Vale, which has a bit of an Eder vibe to it and... wasn’t written by a D’ni Writer! Mystery!

Also notable is the lightmapping technique, which will soon be added to Korman. The Ages are tentatively planned to be released on late September (or by the end of the year), on as many shards as possible.

To keep updated on Doobes’ work, check his blog and his Facebook page.

The Cavern Events neighborhood

Next, Attaboy20 announced his plans to resurrect the Cavern Events Hood and bring back its original mission: to encourage player exploration, inform people of events, and perhaps organize a few original events. As an example, a gathering of cat lovers at the Guild of Cat lovers hood is coming up soon!

If you have an event you would like posted to the imager please send a KI mail to Attaboyrish (KI# 7903211) (not to Attaboy20!).

100 All Guilds Meetings Interlude

At this point, Korov’ev turned the Meeting in a free-form chat about the AGM origins, with the help of Doobes, Kae Ebonrai, AgeExplorer, Tweek and others who were there in those times. You’ll just have to read the transcript :!:

Lyrositor was present too, but he was sleeping (snoring). Unfortunately neither Leonardo nor Whilyam could be present; maybe some other time

D’ni Language Classes

Shokhootahn Rehn then announced that the two more students who have completed the 101 class! Also, the current graduates are RonnieG, ChrisKB and Firmament Hype. Three groups are still making their way through, at various stages.

Next November will be the 10th anniversary of the language classes: there will be a celebration and a party, so stay tuned for more details! Rehn is looking for D’niJ who could help with music.

Those who would like to start the lessons should contact Rehn via PM or KImail (see below) (be sure to include your KI number in the message!). Shokhootahn Rehn is in the Hood most days at 10:00 KI time and 20:00 KI time to answer questions regarding the current lesson.
The D’ni 101 classes are held on Friday at 21:00 KI time, with a repeat on Saturday at 10:00 KI time. Both classes will be held in the Guild of Instructors’ Hood.
Magic Bot is employed to announce last-minute changes to class times: to get notified, add him as a buddy (type “/addbuddy 27527” in the chat), then send him a PM with the word “advert”.

r’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights

For the next 6 weeks, Story Nights will continue with the life of the kings of D’ni. Original Story Nights will deal with the reign of pharaoh Cheops, a disaster that hit the family of Faresh, and the announcements of a new stone and a new ferry system.

For August 18, Story Night Europe will be postponed to Sunday 19 at the usual time. The 23:30 event are unaffected, but thunderstorms can cause power outages (’tis the season); in that case, r’Tayrtahn will try to contact someone from the regular audience, so they can relay his situation.

Story Nights are held in Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday night, gathering at the fountain at around 23:00 KI time, with the story starting at about 23:30 KI time.
For Story Nights Europe, the gatherings are on Saturday starting at 13:30 KI time, with the story starting at about 14:00 KI time. On AGM days, the event will begin at 14:30 KI time.
The stories are told using voice chat, so you will need to have your speakers, headphones or KI devices on. If you would like a reminder, please send r’Tayrtahn a KI mail (with your KI number included in the text) and he’ll add you to his buddies list. His KI number is 58324.

Here is the summary for yesterday’s Meeting, along with the raw and cleansed chatlogs kindly hosted by Doobes!

Myst 25th anniversary celebrations

Minasunda opened the Meeting to present the events scheduled for the anniversary weekend; ideas for additional events are welcome. Wearing the Myst T-shirt is recommended!

Friday 21, 12:30 KIt, in the Watcher’s Pub:
One For All – All for the 25 Years of Myst, a markergame organized by the French community. Davide will provide the music. Details and discussion here.

Please do not use magic commands during the show (save for “meet”, “link” or “w”). After the dance show, there will be a dance party (with music from Seeker) and one of Yoda’s great fireworks. If you won’t manage to be present, a video will be recorded, but it won’t be the same Details and discussion here.

Throughout the celebration weekend:

Ages of Doobes

Despite some hearing problems

Doobes was next, to present an Age he is planning to release for the Anniversary: Kotsahvosahn, a.k.a. the Waystation! This Age is actually a Cavern location, located at the southeast end opposite Ae’gura and the City proper; essentially a larger Hood.

Waystation to what?, you might wonder; well, to the Guild of Messengers, of course! Kotsahvosahn ties into the Lothias storyline (which starts here), along with a couple of other Ages to be released.

To keep updated on Doobes’ work, check his blog and his Facebook page.

Korman 0.07

Hoikas then announced the latest release of the Guild of Writers’ Age creation Blender plugin: Korman!

Highlights of this release include the ability to export cameras from Blender into Ages, a simplified responder graph and a fix for casting light through transparent textures.

If you were used to PyPRP, Korman is closer than ever to be a complete replacement, mostly missing some GUI popup dialog features (like the ability to pick up and read notes) that depended on the camera export.

The return of the D’ni Jazz Club

Tweek showed up to announce the return of his Myst fan site D’ni Jazz Club (thanks to some necromancy that must not be spoken about). The official opening is planned for Sunday 23, possibly with an additional surprise!

Ages of Tweek

Moreover, Tweek announced that he has done some work on the Intangibles Gateway Nexus, and aside from a couple of things left, all it’s missing is some GUI wiring. For the pessimists who thought the project was dead, nope! Stuff is still happening!

Tweek also mentioned that a new, expanded build of Fehnir’s House is almost ready, save for a stuck door; he asked Thor if he could borrow his hammer, but now he’s having some trouble lifting it.

Fahets has also been improved and expanded, version 2 will be 3–4 times larger with 3–4 sub areas planned.

D’ni Language Classes

Shokhootahn Rehn was next, to announce that one more student has completed the 101 class. Four groups are still making their way through, at various stages. Due to the U.S. holiday, daytime classes for Monday 3 are canceled.

November will be the 10th anniversary of the language classes: there will be a celebration and a party, so stay tuned for more details!

Those who would like to start the lessons should contact Rehn via PM or KImail (#58324). Be sure to include your KI number in the message, or he won’t be able to answer you!
The D’ni 101 classes are held in the Guild of Instructors’ Hood. Rehn is in the Hood most days at 10:00 KIt and 20:00 KIt to answer questions regarding the current lesson.
Magic Bot is employed to announce last-minute changes to class times: to get notified, add him as a buddy (type “/addbuddy 27527” in the chat), then send him a PM with the word “advert”.

r’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights

For the next 2 weeks, Story Nights will continue with the life of the kings of D’ni. Original Story Nights will deal with the fate of the more violent factions in D’ni under King Jaron.

Because the post-AGM Story Night Europe session was skipped due to the U.S. holiday, Saturday 8 will be a two-fer. As mentioned by Minasunda, the Saturday 22 session is also cancelled, replaced by the Myst Anniversary Special Edition on Sunday 23.

The 23:30 KIt events are unaffected, but thunderstorms can cause power outages (’tis the season); in that case, r’Tayrtahn will try to contact someone from the regular audience, so they can relay his situation.

Story Nights are held in Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday night, gathering at the fountain at around 23:00 KIt, with the story starting at about 23:30 KIt.
For Story Nights Europe, the gatherings are on Saturday starting at 13:30 KIt, with the story starting at about 14:00 KIt. On AGM days, the event will begin at 14:30 KIt.
The stories are told using voice chat, so you will need to have your speakers, headphones or KI devices on. If you would like a reminder, please send r’Tayrtahn a KI mail (with your KI number included in the text) and he’ll add you to his buddies list. His KI number is 58324.

The Lost Art Season 2

Korov’ev closed the speaker session by announcing the upcoming release of the teaser for Season 2 of The Lost Art, the machinima by the MystiTech group. The first actual episode of Season 2 will follow soonish™!

Here is the summary for yesterday’s very short Meeting, along with the raw and cleansed chatlogs kindly hosted by Doobes!

Halloween Party

Minasunda opened the Meeting to announce the Halloween Party that will take place in Mir-o-Bot’s Space Ahnonay with MagicYoda’s Fireworks, on October 31 at 13:00 KIt. Keep in mind that summer time will end on November 4 in the US, but on October 28 in Europe, so the event will be an hour earlier than the usual!

Seeker will provide the music, while Mir-o-Bot will provide the location (to get there PM “link” or “meet” to the bot; its KI# is 32319).

While no actual contest is planned, getting creative with avatar costuming is encouraged!

Myst25 Kickstarter

Korov’ev gave a quick update on the status of the Myst KS: the games have been released on Steam, and Cyan is hard at work at squashing bugs that have appeared recently, especially regarding Exile and Revelation. Some community members have posted workaround fixes, though it’s advisable to wait for the official updates!

Addendum: as part of the community rewards, Cyan has managed to dust off and polish a few of the old original Myst 3D files and turned them into 360° 3D views, available at Cyan’s Youtube channel.

Addendum: r’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights

Due to unexpected travel plans, r’Tayrtahn’s Story Night Europe is on hiatus until October 27. Starting on October 27, Story Night Europe will be two-fers through November, with the exception the US holiday of Thanksgiving (November 22). r’Tayr will be traveling that weekend, as well.

No changes are planned to original Story Night.

korovev · **Posted:** Sun Nov 04, 2018 9:43 am

Here is the summary for today’s rather short Meeting, along with the raw and cleansed chatlogs kindly hosted by Doobes!

Sunday Music Sessions

Max announced his next Music Session, all about the “Dias de los Muertos”! The event will be on Sunday 4 at 12:00 KIt, with some pre-show music starting around 11:30 KIt. The stream is at UruTunes, and the location is... anywhere in the Cavern!

Myst25 Kickstarter

Korov’ev gave an update on the status of the Myst KS: manufacturing of the physical rewards is almost complete; however, they will take 4–6 weeks to be transported to Blackbox for processing, which will take 2–4 more weeks. To make a long story short, the rewards aren’t going to arrive in time for Christmas; best guess is early February.

However, the game discs will follow a different production and packaging cycle: they will be processed in November–early December, so they are likely to arrive around Christmas!

As for the macOS versions, some of the games have started appearing on GOG and Steam – and six of them are officially, right now.

Uru: CC, however, still has some issues that need fixing; it is expected to be officially available in the next few weeks. If you find any bugs or problems, be sure to report them to support[at]cyan[dot]com.

On top of that, the Starry Expanse team has partnered with Cyan to post five of their own 3D printer models, in addition to the five already released.

New D’ni words

To help an ongoing community project to translate Words, a.k.a. the Prophecies of the Watcher, back to D’ni, Richard A. “RAWA” Watson decided to share five previously unknown words. They were picked by Larry LeDeay, based on how often they appear in Words,.

The words are:

kílo (KIlo), v. bring (sounds like Kylo Ren)
seren (seren), n. light
rahshahth (raSaT), n. dark
l’izchah (l'izca), v. cry
kosuh (Kosu), many
