Description
The stars look infinitely better if you make it bigger.
This deviation is my submission for the ID contest.
I wanted to depict how Myst calls people together to the same purpose.
I always played Myst alongside my best friends, driving ourselves positively mad to all hours of the night attempting to crack puzzles (I wasn't entirely sure we were gonna survive Riven
). Between that and the fact that I've met some awesome people through the Myst fan base, I always think of Myst as a sort of network that draws people together.
And it draws the coolest people.

This is awesome. And kind of hits on how the game echoes real life, too!

I know what you mean by the network. I've always felt that Myst was a community. I've NEVER played any of the Myst games for the first time by myself. And I've always felt a kinship with those Myst fans, even though I've never met them.

Thank you! 
I've never played them first-time-through by myself either. I'm not even sure I'd have the perseverance to go through all those tough puzzles on just my brain.

I know...without my siblings (whom I usually played the games with) encouragement and ideas, I probably wouldn't have made it as well.

A very powerful piece and a great ID idea. I like it! And you're right. I've also met a lot of great people through the Myst fandom, though nobody as insane as I am about Saavedro yet. XD

That is *so awesome*. It really does say a lot about our little community and how it draws all sorts of people from all over the place. Amazing work!

You stand good chances in the contest! that is exactly the same impression that I have. i really love MYST and my life wouldn't be the same without it. By the time I saw the first MYST trailer of my life (which was Exile and later realMYST) I thought to myself: "I must have this game!". Then I bought all the titles that already existed and later Revelation, URU and EOA. I still have hope that Cyan will release another title. I don't believe EOA was the last of them.
