And again...

I'm back and I'm ready to post more links to fan-Ages!
Ok, let's get right to the point:

http://expage.com/mtar1

If you've been to the Oceanic Age (you can access it on a previous Age post) and found a journal, you probably now about M'tar, the Age of Awe. Well, here you can check it out. Again, you have to use your imagination to see the Age, but the description is very nice.

Aveara is supposed to be an awesome Age...but for some reason I can't do anything on it besides read a neat story. I do that by clicking on "chapters" and then "launch chapter". I'm not sure if Aveara's supposed to be a game or an Age or what, but I would really appreciate any enlightenment.

This is L'halaa V'road, the land of purple nights. It's another PYOPA-style adventure (like the Oceanic Age), but here there are dead-ends and a plot. It was one of the first fan-Ages I found, and I really enjoy playing it. To play it, scroll down to the picture of the rose. From there you can get to L'halaa V'road.

This website has beautiful Age pictures. A must-see if you like Age pictures! The only sad thing is that you can't walk around in it.

This is the Age of Serenity. Here you can read about yourself exploring it. It sounds very nice, but I can't help imagining Serenia, from Myst IV Revelation. But I think the Age of Serenity was made first. Anyway, the person who made this obviously had a clear image of what the Age looks like.

Ok, that's all for now. But still more to come!

Quick spring thoughts

I'm going skating in a few minutes, so I better make this quick.
First of all, I wanted to say that soon it'll be spring. I'm pretty happy about that.
Another thing I'm happy about is pretty much opposite: snow. This winter has been very mild, and recently it snowed. It's beginning to melt again, but at least it's something. I'll just stretch the scattered days of snow we got over the whole winter. That will require a lot of stretching, but oh well. Today, or at least sometime this week, I will also post more links to Ages. Coming up is M'Tar the Age of awe, the Age of purple nights, and others.
Ok, I really have to go now.
Bye,

Nicole

Even more Ages

Wow, that was quick, huh?
Here are some more fan-Ages:

http://www.dnilegacy.com/

This is the first game I found in my Age Hunt, and maybe even the first Age. You can play online or download to play offline...I know, kind of obvious. D'ni Legacy has really neat Ages, nice graphics, great storyline, and it even continues the Myst tradition of tons of journal-reading!

http://www.tsahno.com/

This game looks awesome, but unfortunately it's not out yet. Still, you can look at the screenshots and trailers on the website, and there's even a (rarely-updated) newspage.

http://www.agesofilathid.com/

The Ages Of Ilathid is another awesome-looking, not-out-yet game. I am totally amazed by the screenshots, by the way. There are going to be NINE Ages, too. At least that's what the introduction says. I hope it comes out soon!

And that's it for now! But I'll keep posting, just you wait!

Ages

Today I decided that I'm definitely not a journal person ("journal" including blogs). However, I think you already figured that out.
I made a new notebook escape the room game today. There are two rooms in it, making it the largest notebook escape game I've made so far...except for maybe the Arcade Escape one.
Maybe I should start making escape the room games on the computer based on these notebook ones. That would be cool.
I'm really starting to miss Myst. That's rather strange, because I have gone for a long time without Myst games. I guess now that I know there won't be any more I miss them. Well, at least Cyan is still making games. And there are lots of fan-Ages.
Speaking of which, I have been meaning to post some links to various fan-Ages at some point. I have some free time and desire now, so I might as well post some now!
Here are four:

This one links to two Ages: Nightglow and Greenstone. There isn't a whole lot to do but there are is a great description and cool drawings of the islands. Definitely worth a look!

http://web.interware.hu/frenzy/myages/

When I first came to this Age there was just a desert, but now you can go to several Ages. When My Ages gets some sound, puzzles, and more Ages then I will officially call it a game. For now it's a fan-Age with really good graphics!

http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Labyrinth/7077/reefage.html?200519

The Reef Age is another Age you can wander around in. Lots of stuff to explore here! The graphics are ok, but the Age itself is pretty cool.

http://expage.com/0ceanic

The Oceanic Age is what I call a PYOPA, a Pick Your Own Path Adventure. In other words, a choose your own adventure game. There isn't a lot of exploring, but it's nice all the same. There is a journal that seems to hint at something bigger intended for this Age.

That's all for now, but tune in next time, when Nicole will post links to some of the better-known Ages that all Age Explorers will need to visit!

Adoptees of Whenever I Want To

Hi!
Sorry for the long absense, I was uh...trapped in an alternate world where there are no adoptables...yeah... *shifty eyes*
Anyway, here's my next set of adoptables.


(Left to right) Zhara, Iris, and Lyndie were (also) adopted at An Orange October:
