Prominence Release Date Announced

I had some problems getting the game to play, but realized I was the problem! Enjoying it so far and as I thought, it has a decidedly Mission Critical feel, especially something I've discovered, but I LOVE that old game, and I think I'll love this one, too.

Just need to talk about this one, seek and maybe give help!

Please look in hints to offer help, this is for discussions only. Glad you are enjoying it!

Sorry! Thanks for the info!

I could try and help if you post in the Hints Forum BubbaJake

Its an absolutely fantastic game and the voice overs are superb just great acting. Better than some of the big budget games. Highly recommended

If you're using the DRM-free version, there's an updated version on the Humble download page, as well as a patch if you've already downloaded the original version. I found it by accident and forgot to pass it on. It's been up since 11-19.

Thanks Uncle Reg but do you happen to know if you have to download both the patch and the program or is the link to the program already patched. I ask this because I want a fresh copy to burn.

It appears that the program file is already patched.

The original version was named prominence_setup.exe and was 1,900,090,556 bytes size.

The updated version was named setup-prominence-complete-1.0.0.29-en.exe and was 1,895,110,211 bytes size.

The patch was named prom-update-to-1.0.0.29-en.exe and was 619,460,709 bytes size.

Note that the update and the patch both have the same 1.0.0.29 version number, so I think it's safe to say that the full program that is currently available for download on the Humble site has already been patched.

If you wanted to be on the safe side, you could download both the updated version and the patch and burn them both along with the original version to a DVD. All 3 should fit on a single DVD, which have a capacity of about 4.7 Gigabytes.

I completely agree about the voice acting! I can almost SEE the characters when they speak and the intermittent sounds (walking. background sounds, etc.)that go along are priceless.

UNCLE REG I don't know if it's the DRM version, which I would prefer. Thank you for your info.

...-1.0.0.29-en.exe.torrent (the one I'm playing)
update...1.0.0.29-ge.exe
...1.0.0.29-en.exe
(ellipsis are mine. I didn't post complete link info)

That's right.

Also wanted to sneak in here to say that if you're going to backup your DRM-free versions of Prominence, you may wish to wait until January because we have a bunch of extra goodies that we plan to release to owners of the game in the coming weeks, including...

If you wait, you can back them all up together. (They'll probably all fit on a single 4.7GB DVD.)

Or, you can make your own special 2-disc edition if you want to burn the extra goodies separately.

The fun begins later today (Wednesday)! Shh! Don't tell anyone.

Hello Mike

I must say that Prominence was fantastic. One of the best games released this year. And might I add the the voice acting is one of the best of all time. Much better than most of the big budget development company's. Thank you for the adventure and experience. I am hoping that we visit the Letarri people more in possible future games.

So if I am not mistaken...just re-downloading the game will be the patched version and no need to add the Patch? I was just about to burn my DRM free copy so thanks for the heads up on waiting for the goodies. Would you lets us know when they are ready? Might there be a Prominence DVD Image included with the goodies please that we can use to print out on our burned disk? I am anxious to listen to the Gag reel with the voice actors, that should be fun.

How awesome Mike! You rock!

Yes. The full-game installer includes all the latest patches. (And we'll probably have another patch or two before all is said and done, I think.)

And I'm also happy to report that the first of the goodies is ready!

The complete soundtrack in digital format -- with more than 40 minutes of original music (14 songs from the game + 2 bonus tracks) -- is the first in our series of free bonuses for everyone who has purchased the game.

Steam owners will get an update that adds a new "soundtrack" directory with the music, while Humble Store and Humble Widget purchasers will soon be able to access the soundtrack as a separate download from their download page on Humble.

To accompany the release of the soundtrack, we just released a new Developer Chat. :)

In this episode, two-time Clio Award-winner Tom Griffith and I take an extended coffee break to chat about the Prominence soundtrack development, the origins of Old Letarri for the choir, the foley sessions, the voice-actor casting/auditions, and more.

Thanks and happy adventuring (and listening)! :)

There was another new patch for the DRM-free version released today. It's up on the Humble download page now. The soundtrack is also there for download.

It's on my review list... but my list is very long :( - bumping this game to the top though! :D)

Just finished Prominence earlier this week. Easily my favorite game of 2015. Waiting on a retail release.....hint, hint.

I'll second that.

Thanks Uncle Reg for the update. I am waiting for all the goodies to be uploaded before I burn everything to disk. Can't wait for the Outtakes from the voice acting.

Good eye, sir! That was the update to improve compatibility with integrated chipsets (particularly Intel HD Graphics models under Windows 10).




We finished editing the outtake reel over the holiday break. Shh! Don't tell anyone. ;) We're trying to decide whether to release it this week, or if we should release the walkthrough/guide (or part of it) this week.

Hi Mike

I vote for the Outtake Reel.....don't need a walkthrough as I finished the game long ago. At any rate, will you tell us all when all the Bonus material and any Patches are complete so we can do a final burn of your fabulous game?

Thanks Mike!

Ana

I would appreciate that info also So thanks in advance

Releasing both would be a good idea also.

Chief

Hey cg_mike

Have all the extras been released now including the outake reel?

Can anyone tell me if my download of "Prominence" is the final version ??

I have version "1.0.0.29 826 MB" which I downloaded at the beginning of December 2015.

Thanks.

Mad

Mine is 1.1.0 build 45

Ana

Thanks for that info, BrownEyedTigre

Can I please ask where you downloaded your version then ??

I'm a Steam fan, Mad. Mine is on there.

Ana

Thanks, BrownEyedTigre

I remembered (much later) that I got this game from Humble Bundle - so I went to look - and the updated version was sitting there ready to download.
And I now have it !!

Cheers.

Mad

Enjoy!

Ana

I hope to !!
