Mist Island will become a mini-golf course this year
Butcher79
Almost 30 years after the release of the original game, Myst fans can visit the mysterious island with friends to play mini golf together.
The course, inspired by the legendary puzzle game Cyan, is scheduled to be released later this year as a paid downloadable content in the Walkabout Mini Golf. It will have all the same features as the other DLC releases, including cross-platform multiplayer from Quest to Steam, and a guest pass that only allows one player with a purchased course to bring their friends to a round. For developer Mighty Coconut, the partnership is giving a significant boost to its real estate licensing efforts to adapt to theme park-like multi-user minigolf courses, following the previous announcement of a course inspired by the 1980s Jim Henson film Labyrinth.
Myst, of course, was born in 1993 as a puzzle game set on a beautiful island. Players advance one click at a time. The name has been rearranged several times, first as a real-time XNUMXD environment and more recently for virtual reality. Mighty Coconut head Lucas Martell sat down with us in our studio and shared some details about the upcoming release and development status of Walkabout.
“Our goal is not to recreate Myst itself, and we need a different set of things for physics and everything else. So it's going to be pretty accurate compared to the original, but we'll have to recreate it a bit, and there are a few changes we'll have to make to the island to make it work as a mini golf course,” Martell explained. “So I think this is something that the fans will get and understand, and we're trying to be respectful and reverent about what's been created, but at the same time, it's a mini-golf version of a theme park. So sometimes we need to move the rocks and open a couple of places for people to have fun, but it will still be very, very recognizable as an island from the game.
He confirmed that the course will start at the dock, the same entry point for Myst since it launched.
“We got in touch with the Cyan people and it just so happened that they played Walkabout anyway, so they knew about us, we obviously knew about them, and once we started talking about it, everything became clear. it’s just like they have such a great mindset,” Martell told UploadVR. "It was great because they're like, 'Oh no, we want you guys to have the freedom to do a few of those settings, it doesn't have to be the same.' And we all said we didn't want him to try to step on the heels of what Mist did. We want this to be a tribute and just a love letter to the game."
Watch a 5-minute snippet of our interview in the video embedded above. We didn't include it in the Myst video, but Martell confirmed to us that active work is ongoing on a port of the Walkabout Mini Golf for iOS and Android that will include cross-platform multiplayer with other versions. Mighty Coconut has over half a dozen courses in development and is starting to work on ideas that won't be released until 2023.
