Introduce yourself!
What has drawn you to explore Moiety culture and what kinds of things would you like to develop?

Shorah! I'm KathTheDragon (KathAveara on the Moul:a forums (I really should bring that in line with everywhere else...)), budding linguist and conlanger!
Frankly, I love these spin-off projects in the Mystverse. In my opinion, they're the best thing about this fandom, and I'd love to be a part of that. As for what I'd like to develop, most of my skills revolve around language, so I could certainly put my hand to building a Rivenese language from the few samples we've been given.

Awesome! I was always envisioning an interesting script. My main line of thought was of a script similar in style and function to Arabic. Perhaps some D'ni Writers created a Moiety script like Cyril the Byzantine did for the Slavic Rus (The origin of Cyrillic after all). I'll create a vector image of what I had in mind at least aesthetically. I thought that would be different for the Mystverse.
...and welcome! Its always great to hear that these types of projects are what make the Myst fandom great. I'm always more keen on big fan expansions myself and its a great way to get creative and immerse yourself in the world and lore that the D'niverse inspires what with the infinite potential that comes from Age writing.

I have some experience with designing writing systems, so I'm sure I could come up with something. Of course, it would be smart to wait until the basic structure of the language has been worked out, first...

Cho! I guess my reason to be here is how the game implied that the Rivenese lived Happily Ever After, despite the obvious plot hole of the ‘Gehn-Jugend’, the consequences of the exposure to D’ni technology and the chances Katran had to write a Tay linking book. Hopefully it didn’t end in tragedy

Yeah, it won't end in tragedy, but that part is what I want to develop. I have a basic story and game premise involving this clash of cultures. I'll do a write up of the plot in a separate thread tonight. Nice to have you here Korov'ev. dario and Korove'v... What kinds of skills do you guys have that you think you could lend to the project? Art, writing, 3d/Unreal, other? We're strongly in need of concept art people actually.

Shorah, everybody! My name is Ashley. I have played MYST, Riven, and Exile, but haven't gone further, and I've read all of the novels. Yali's vids on Tay have been super engaging and I'd love to be able to contribute to the community however I can! I am a writer and actor living in New York.
I am so thankful just to have Black Moiety as a place for fans to gather and discuss. I can't wait to see where it goes.

One thing I can do for sure is being the GoMe liaison.

I'm River, a game developer with skills in Unreal and 3D modeling. I also have experience in web development, but it seems you already have that covered . Riven is my favourite of the Myst games, but loved all of them apart from Myst 5 which to me felt like a completely different game. EDIT: Thought I'd also mention I'm RRR3000 on the /r/Myst subreddit, and the guy who made the modpack for / is hosting the official /r/Myst Minecraft server.

Welcome river! I was just about to track you down. I had lost the email you gave me on Mystcraft. Do you have Unreal? Perhaps you'd like to check out the Tay project file I uploaded and posted here. We DEFINITELY need some help on the Unreal/3d modelling/scripting side of things.
