Further updates while I have been away are, Spider: August 15, Unnoficial Riven Page (Jim Stephenson): August 18, Cyan Cam: August 19, Riven.com: August 15 (MAJOR UPDATE!!). Also, Telanis added a nifty little game to his page. I took me a while, but I got it.
Sorry about the delays in the other galleries. I hope that they'll be up soon. I'm working on a new age. It's going to be something different from all the other ages. Unique to the end. I'll post it today or tomorrow.
Also, if you go to the System Requirements page at www.riven.com You will find a Journal written in German. I translated it and stuck it here.
" I have to admit, I am a little disappointed in the "newly returned"
Spyder. I got all excited when his new page came out, and he
posted that first update. Even the dailys were update at least every other
day. However, he hasn't said a thing at all since then. I
was hoping that the Spyder would give us lots of exciting
glimpses into Cyan, etc. Once the game finally comes
out, I don't think anyone would really care to follow his
posts anymore.
I guess I was just hoping he'd end up in a bang, rather than fizzle out like this....Oh well, I still check his page hopefully."
This was written by Doug McBride of the Riven Lyst. I totally agree. I'm still checking everyday, and as soon as there is something new, it'll be right here.
Jim Stephenson's Unoficial Riven Page made some interesting posts, including that Riven will cost around 59$, and it is going to be released in mid October. I agree with him when he says that we should take any release information should be taken "with a grain of salt." The last update he made was today, so go check it out. Also, is there a new section to his page coming? Check it out on September first!
Nothing to the Riven page or Cyan new, but don't worry, they're not over due. I am expecting a new Cyan cam very soon. They have been keeping up with their weekly updates pretty well. I'm that they are very busy so we should expect possible delays.
I'm having a "No Limits" writing contest. You can read all about it from the contest page. Enter by September 15th to win!

Ok,
-Page 1 is fine... no problems there...
-Page 2 is a spoiler only if you haven't played Myst. It basically
summarizes the entire game... But there is 1 NEW screenshot from
Riven.**
-Page 3... Well, what can I say?... HOLY <insert favorite expletive
here>!!! This is like the Holy Grail of spoilers! They are summarizing
the beginnning of Riven! They are telling us the story! (5 more
NEW
screen shots here)**
-Page 4... Ok, I give up. Why don't I just NOT buy Riven at all?
I can
just read this article and cover the whole thing. (5 more shots,
4 NEW
ones)**
-Page 5... Uhmmm, guys? Did somebody at Cyan get pissed at y'all? Or did this all actually get released to the press? (5 more NEW screenshots)**
-Page 6... Well, you've got the point by now... 5 NEW screenshots** and a whole slew of spoilers...
-Page 7... Ok, this page is fine. Nothing wrong here... We know
all this
stuff... (1 NEW screenshot)**
-Page 8... is.. and exact copy of page 6.. What the heck?
Ok, to summarize.. a few points:
- This is WORSE than the Norwegian screenshots and the comic book
timeline combined!
- There are 21 new screenshots in this thing... Somehow I'm not
believing that these were approved by Cyan... But, you never
know...
- For the love of Yahvo, don't read this thing! (Unless, of course,
you
like spoilers.. and I mean SPOILERS...)
**Note, I don't know if these images are good or bad. A Cyanite
will let
us know...
Am I overreacting, like I did about the Quicktimes? I think not...
I
have not read this article word for word... I just scanned over
it and
picked out the choice phrases, which all stood out to me as spoilers....
It's not so much the article that worries me, but the images
that
accompany it...
Cyanites?
