NASA and other solar observation teams just witnessed a truly epic (400,000+ mile long!) prominence lift from the surface of our sun and blast into space. Today, we released the official Prominence trailer. Coincidence? Fate? The universe's attempt at a spoiler? You decide.

October 7, 2010
We've added three new screenshots. Check them out by clicking on the thumbnails below, or head over to the Screenshots page. And if you like them, we hope you'll drop by and "like" us on Facebook, too. :)

All our efforts in digging through hundreds of demo reels to get the best cast we could afford really paid off. We had a blast recording all the talented voice actors and had lots of laughs while getting some great tracks. Meanwhile, art and programming are deep in the trenches working on the next build and some other goodies. We'll have more about that soon. Stay tuned!

September 5, 2010
Voice casting is now complete! Recording sessions are lined up for this week as we move another step closer to release.

August 23, 2010
This week’s update: The list of completed "final art" is growing longer everyday. Very exciting! A clever change to part of the inventory interface also sneaked in, as well as a few bits of story polish. We also did a heap of casting work for the voices. Auditions are rolling in and we hope to cast a majority of the characters this week. Script for the trailer got passed around, too, but shhh! don't tell anyone... ;)

August 5, 2010
A new build just went out to the testers with more than 400 updated art and audio files, plus a bevy of feature, puzzle, and gameplay tweaks as we move closer to completion. Rumors that the epicness of this latest build had anything to do with massive increases in solar activity during the past week are unsubstantiated.

July 6, 2010
We've posted a previously unseen environment sketch to the Behind The Scenes part of the site. Check it out in the Concept Art section, or via the thumbnail below.

June 22, 2010
The Prominence programming department waits for no man....or art, for that matter.

Kevin: "I'm gonna make a new prototype for this puzzle."
Mike: "Okay, do you need any art mock-ups?"
Kevin: "Nah."

May 23, 2010
This week, a new build went out to the test group. Except for a handful of puzzles, the core gameplay is finished. Most of the gameplay-based sound effects are complete and implemented as well. Art, music, and voice-overs are all being polished, tested and tweaked. Code work is focused mostly on optimizations, quality-of-life features/options, and debugging.

April 3, 2010
Tom and Mike spent a full day in the studio editing and mixing all sorts of sci-fi sonic goodness for Prominence. It looks like there will be probably be one more foley session in the not-too-distant future. Quick, everyone! Run for cover!

March 18, 2010
Rumor has it that the Story department (i.e. Kevin and Mike) recently locked themselves in a room and finished most of the dialog/script for the main story and the side arcs. Placeholder voice recordings have begun. Once these placeholder versions are approved, we'll bring in the professional voice talent and record the final versions.

February 2, 2010
Windows 7 used to hate Prominence -- or maybe it was the other way around -- until our elite programming team (i.e. Kevin) pummeled it into submission. Either way, Prominence will be playable on XP, Vista and Windows 7 systems later this year.

January 17, 2010
We're looking forward to releasing Prominence in 2010. Check out our latest newsletter (you can sign up for it right from the homepage) or find us on Facebook.

Happy Holidays to all from the Prominence team!

September 15, 2009
Laptop adventure gamers rejoice! Prominence now supports several common widescreen resolutions. We'll do more testing in the coming weeks, but it seems likely that this new feature will be included in the final release.

August 27, 2009
The Art Department (a.k.a. Mike) finished designing one of the last environments in the game, and it's pretty cool to have come this far. It feels like there's still a billion more things to build, texture, light, render and animate - but holy cow, we're almost 100% playable!

August 14, 2009
The Programming Department (a.k.a. Kevin) has been working on code for some of the in-game animated effects. He's also been working on some UI enhancements, including screenshots when saving games and other good stuff - most of which we can't talk about just yet...

August 12, 2009
Tom and Mike spent time in the studio recording a bunch of foley and sound effects. No fruit or vegetables were harmed during the session, and rumors of flying pizza cutters are probably greatly exaggerated.

July 1, 2009
We've posted a new work-in-progress screenshot. We're also on Facebook now. Check out the official Prominence page on Facebook. :)

December 28, 2008
As much as we would have liked to release Prominence in 2008, the game isn't quite ready. While we've done our best to keep things on schedule, this is our first game and it's been tough to estimate just how long certain things would take. We've worked too hard for too long to start cutting corners now!

December 25, 2008
Happy Holidays from all of us on the Prominence team!
