Riven for iPad Now Available
Cyan Worlds, Inc. is at it again. They have successfully ported Riven: The Sequel to Myst to the iPad, with the installation clocking in at just about 2 GB in size. Here's what the company had to say in the press release:
Cyan Worlds is pleased to announce that Riven for iPad is available on the App Store. It took a lot of tender loving care to get the iPad version just right. It wasn’t easy but we’ve polished the images, movies, and sounds, and still managed to squeeze it into the 2 gig size limit. With a special price of $5.99US, you’d better get it now before this introductory deal is over.
It's unclear on Apple's page when the deal will be over, so if interested, best to get a copy now. There is also no word yet on if either this game or Myst will be ported to Android for other smartphones and tablets, but Cyan has not yet ruled that out officially. The Guild of Messengers will keep everyone updated!

All Guilds Meeting - January 2013
Another month, another All Guilds Meeting. This time, Doobes was on a well-deserved vacation, so Lyrositor took over moderating duties for this month. As usual, both cleansed and raw logs are available for your viewing pleasures, as well as the customary summary of the event:
Christian Walther
Christian was our first speaker and summed up the recent series of events concerning the licensing problems with Bink, which interrupted the normal flow of development and testing. To be concise, a portion of Uru's code was discovered by RAD Game Tools (makers of the Bink video codec) to contain copyrighted code from their Software Development Kit (SDK). They demanded that the code be removed from all CWE repositories, an arduous task to say the least. Developers promptly began the process of rewriting repository history to remove these files. Most of the work has been acheived by now, fortunately, and only a few tasks remain, and H'uru has already resumed its normal development pace. Read more
PhysX Compatibility Problems Discovered
To all Uru players, there is a chance that your Uru Live installation(s) will cease working because of a problem with MOUL's physics engine, PhysX. If this happens to you, don't worry, it's an easy fix which will require downloading a different driver, as outlined in this post.
Indeed, as a user on the OpenUru.org forums discovered recently, MOULa users (and users of most MOUL-based shards) that get an update to PhysX through the NVIDIA Update Service or perform an install of PhysX at version 9.12.1031 or later, either from the NVIDIA website or a supplied driver CD, should also run the optional legacy installer. This is not necessary if PhysX version 9.12.0613 or earlier is installed. Read more
