Prominence Release Date Announced

Pre-Orders Now Available with Exclusive In-Game Bonus

Long Island, New York -- Digital Media Workshop, Inc. today announced a release date for their upcoming first-person, point-and-click adventure game, Prominence. The game will launch on November 6, 2015.

Prominence will be available via Steam ( http://store.steampowered.com/app/270230 ) and directly from the official website ( http://www.prominencegame.com ).

Pre-orders can be made through the official site, and offer an added bonus: Players can choose to join the Letarri colonization mission, which will give them the option to select a title and have their name appear in-game as a founding settler of New Letarr.

The final round of beta testing is currently in progress. Developer Mike Morrison reports, “Reactions by players in the closed beta have been very positive, particularly with respect to production values, story, puzzles, and emotional impact. We are also implementing some enhancements based on player feedback so that we can offer gamers the best possible experience when Prominence is released.”

Pre-orders are available here: http://www.prominencegame.com

Prominence will launch on Win XP/Vista/7/8/10 in English and German, with additional localizations planned for French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, and Russian.


ABOUT PROMINENCE
After living for generations as persecuted refugees, the Letarri people launch an interstellar mission to colonize a new world. When things go terribly awry, the fate of their people falls into the hands of a lone adventurer. Now it's up to you to unravel the mystery of what happened. Can you save them and their mission, or is it already too late?

Prominence is a first-person, point-and-click, science-fiction adventure game. Players solve narrative-driven puzzles, gain and use special skills, interact with computers, and hack subsystems while they collect clues about the mission and the crew.

Is the DRM edition from the developers web site Steam free or you still have to play using Steam?

I was never able to get Mission Critical to work on any of my systems, so that would be an extremely nice addition to GOG. I love so many of the FMV games from those days.

Happy launch day! The release is coming shortly and we can't wait to share Prominence with you all. smile emoticon
We just got word a little while ago that our German localization team was unable to finish translation and testing in time for today's release. They report that it should be completed early next week.
We apologize for the delay. We want the translation to be spot on, so that German players can have the best possible experience!
As a result, we're reworking the launch settings in Steam and in our builds so that we can release the English version today for everyone, and then players who want the German version will automatically get an update next week that will switch the game over to their native tongue. (And should work with their existing saved games, too!)
The English version will release today as planned -- as soon as we've reconfigured our launch scheme and revised the Steam packages. We thank you for your patience!
Thank you and pel koloro!

Includes Steam key and DRM-free download for Windows!

The DRM-free version does not require Steam to play. And pre-ordering the game, you get both a Steam key AND the DRM-free version.

The purchase at prominencegame.com also seems to be done through HumbleBundle, which usually gives a choice.

Also if you have an account at Humble Bundle, try logging in and see if the game is there. You might have to add the purchase ID number somewhere (I had to do that for some game, but don't remember the details).

I went back and checked two of those older games, Homesick and Tormentum, and both of the emails still take me to a Humble Bundle page with both a Steam key and a download link, without having to log in.

If you pre-ordered and are waiting for the DRM-free download version of Prominence, we're working on it! Our unified Windows install builder is having trouble with the game that we didn't have in earlier iterations. As soon as this is fixed, we'll get the build out and it will appear on your Humble pages. We apologize for the delay!

If I had to complain about anything, it would be:
-transition graphics are terrible
-the mouse use/navigation takes a little getting used to but once played for a little while, it becomes less aggravating.
-no resolution options. I have no idea what the game is playing at even though I have my monitor set to 1080P. And this hearkens back to my first gripe above.

But if you are on the fence, buy it. I am over 2 hours in and am enjoying it very much.
