		As such, cyan is the complement of red: cyan pigments absorb red light.
		Cyan is one of the common inks used in four-color printing, along with magenta, yellow, and fl; this set of colors is referred to as CMYK.

		The Adrenaline Vault recently interviewed Rand Miller, CEO of Cyan Worlds, to discuss where the company is in its quest to bring photorealism, as well as deeper interactivity and storytelling, to interactive entertainment.
		The "Changing Our Worlds" phrase is a play on words that acknowledges our change in focus to broadband entertainment, but it also reflects the fact that the worlds we're building now are dynamic and alive.
		The worlds themselves are wrapped around the rich D'ni history, making use of the incredible amount of information that has been translated from the numerous D'ni transcripts.

	Robyn Miller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After releasing a number of children's adventure "worlds", the brothers finally hit on a success with the computer game Myst, which remained the number one-selling game for the remainder of the 1990s.
		Miller is known for his contributions in the areas of direction and design, especially in the area of visual design—the look and feel of the Myst and Riven worlds.
		Richard Vander Wende, co-director and co-designer of Riven, was likewise responsible for orchestrating the visual language of that world.

		Cyan and their worlds have been part of my life for so very long and the thought of their brilliance coming to an end makes my heart heavy.
		Cyan has pasted on, no more am I to be blessed, with the tails that I have grown to love, with the world that no more will bring me the joy it has always done in the past...
		Cyan had created a whole new type of game, copied by many, but the originals are unique in the way you were (and had to be to solve the games) immersed in the world of the D'ni.

	Blue's News: Edit Message
		Cyan Worlds has laid off all but a few employees, retaining only co-founder Rand Miller, company President Tony Fryman, and a small skeleton crew.
		Cyan is not in debt with Ubisoft and saying such a thing doesn’t help out any situation." Ex-employee Bill Slease indicated that "Cyan Worlds failed to gain the financial backing for their future projects.
		As a result Cyan's decision was purely financial." But he adds that, "Rand wants to hire back anyone who hasn't moved on if Cyan can secure funding for another project."* For now Cyan Worlds looks like it's on the brink of becoming another defunct studio.

	The legacy of Myst: A link to other worlds - FEATURES
		It was Cyan's fourth project and carried on their tradition to entertain without violence.
		Then in 1997 Cyan released "Riven: The Sequel to Myst." When asked about Riven, the Miller brothers said that they thought of it as their "Lord of the Rings," while "Myst" was more like "The Hobbit." In the full experience, if Myst taught you how to walk, than Riven taught you how to fly.
		With a deep story, amazing graphics, and beautiful worlds to explore be sure to keep an eye on the clock when you play because time has a way of quickly slipping away.

		Using what appears to be an updated version of the Uru engine, Myst V brings to life a fantastic world (or set of worlds) that might not reach the level of detail seen in Riven, but certainly feels fully realized.

	A tribute to Cyan Worlds - Topic
		Sorry, I cannot give up the hope that as long as the Cyan World exists as a company, and it still does even though there is only a skeleton crew left, that it will be making a comeback.
		I think I understand how this has been a very lean time for Cyan, and how this reduction is about the only way they can preserve Cyan as a company while arranging for their future.
		Cyan should be proud to have fans like this.
