TCT 48: In Review

Happy Easter! For our Spring 2024 edition, we bring you:

  • TCT Talk with Ankhangel, Dalken Starbyne, Esto Centura, Maurus, and Sh’aeri, covering Riven news & hype as well as a TCT year-in-review
  • Chapter II of Deep Dive with Esto Centura, exploring the Preafter era
  • Sh’aeri’s That’s Just Me Of Course, reflecting on 20 years in D’ni
  • Musical Piece: “Rowena Forest” by Sasha Strange
  • A Riven Sound Effect Mystery?

Additional show notes:

  • Note that our TCT Talk was recorded prior to the subtitle “New Discoveries of the Lost D’ni Empire” being removed from the promotional material for the Riven remake – this appears to no longer be part of the title.
  • Our deepest apologies to the Video Game History Foundation for butchering the name of your organization multiple times – You guys are doing very important work helping to preserve art in a medium that often makes preservation very difficult!
