Video: The Myst 'Classic Postmortem' from GDC 2013

Courtesy of the GDC Vault, Myst co-creator and sound composer Robyn Miller shared at GDC 2013 the design and production details behind one of gaming's most iconic first-person adventures.

"We had an idea when we created Myst that most people don't like puzzles. Gamers love puzzles, but we weren't creating Myst for gamers. We were creating a game for essentially non-gamers."

Courtesy of the GDC Vault, Myst co-creator and sound composer Robyn Miller shared at GDC 2013 the design and production details behind one of gaming's most iconic first-person adventures.

Later last year, Miller's brother Rand discussed how several Myst creators have come together for the new adventure game Obduction (successfully funded via Kickstarter with $1.3 million in pledges) in this Gamasutra interview.
