ABOUT CYAN WORLDS

In 1987, brothers Rand Miller and Robyn Miller formed Cyan, Inc., and

created several titles of a new kind of computer game.Their products took

a direction unique in the gaming world: non-intimidating, whimsical worlds

for children to explore. Cyan received innumerable awards, including “Best

New Use of a Computer” from the Software Publishers Association in 1989.

In 1991, Cyan began work on Myst, a project that would become a

phenomenon, catapulting computer entertainment into popular culture.

The goal was to bring Cyan’s formula for building immersive, richly interactive

worlds to the mainstream audience.They built a new vision – completely from

scratch – a world that took advantage of everything CD-ROM had to offer.

And now the journey continues. Cyan has been quietly expanding to create

a world unlike anything previously possible... a world that will never end. No

longer bound by the physical limitations of a CD or single computer, Cyan

Worlds has combined an unmatched legacy of photo-realistic environments and

interactive story with new, proprietary real-time 3D technology that will once

again set the standards for virtual entertainment.
