I have a base storyline ready this would involve discrete areas and transportation not unlike ages but without using linking books.
A couple of years back I approached Cyan re licensing the game engine for an independent project the current status looks like the engine will now be open source.
As the project will use the avatar and control the discrete areas can be built using existing Python and Blender skills.
This post is an open discussion to hammer out any difficulties re-licence or concerns with infringement of intellectual rights.
[Clarification] I am after making sure there is no overlap between the existing Myst cannon and the new project. However the storyline is sufficient in scope to allow for there to be some overlap in the future.
Like Uru the project will require a new opening sequence common to all players the opening puzzle will be the collection of parts required to build your personal communication device similar to the KI in function although I envision this as something more like a Kindle or the Pad that Jake always had in Trek DS9.
Like Uru you will have some personal space and a avatar personalisation like the closet but with a couple of tweeks.
The storyline has Shells rather than ages and the only thing you can take between shells is information. I envisioned one shell per shard but again this in not fixed.
I have a back story prepared but not however set in stone, all aspects are open to discussion.
