At the time of this post, there are about 50 hours left in Cyan’s Kickstarter for their new game, Firmament! The game will be designed for VR, but it will run on PC just as well. A macOS version will be possible if the $1.4M stretch goal is reached. But let’s hear it from Cyan themselves:
Firmament is a deeply immersive narrative adventure game for both VR and PC that stays true to the storytelling, artistic integrity, and inventive puzzles that Cyan holds dear.
This is an entirely new property - the beginning of an exciting new Cyan universe, delivered using Unreal 4, one of the most powerful game development technologies available.
Firmament is designed for and will be built from the ground up to take advantage of the VR sense of presence and a seamless interface. Stunning and enigmatic locations (with a certain callback to the steampunk roots of Myst) were conceived to allow for highly immersive and eclectic visuals for which the world-building artisans at Cyan are known.
But unlike previous games you don’t travel this world alone. You'll have a clockwork adjunct...
Firmament will be designed for VR, but built to play on PC as well. All backers will be able to play the game on both platforms, and effortlessly switch between VR and PC to continue your progress in the game.
A Word to Mac Users
Cyan has always been a big Mac supporter. Myst started out as a Mac title, and over the years, Cyan has always tried to release each of our games for the Mac. We'd love to continue that tradition with Firmament, as an indie studio, but with the minimum funding and resources we anticipate having available, and the complexity involved, this campaign will be focused on Windows (PC and VR).
BUT... We've have announced a Stretch Goal!
The stretch goal would allow us to build both a Mac version and PS4/PSVR version. We're really hoping that we can reach the extra level of funding that allows us to build the Mac version. And of course, the world of gaming is changing quickly, and we'll continue to keep an eye out for other solutions that allow as many fans as possible to play Firmament.
