Is it dead? :(

[DigitalMediaWorkshop]

Nope. :) Very much alive. The most recent updates are on Facebook and the main web site (links are in the description), but we'd still like to do more Developer Chats before release.

I guess this means a 2012 release isn't happening. What's going on with this game?

[Saxifrage Russell]

Nevermind! Watched dev chat #1 and I now see you're *aiming* for a release this year. Will this be available on Steam?

[Saxifrage Russell]

What is the release date for this game?

[quidproquo2004]

Looks like a gem. I'm looking forward to buying it!

[Lenin Uljamov]

I have a question:

Is there any way that game will be ported on Linux or MacOs, if not please explain the difficulty to port the game on another system rather the default Windows?

[AWGMJANS]

Sounds like a game i would enjoy. The only real interesting adventuregames are the Myst, Rhem and schizm series. It's about time something new comes up.... Hope this is not just another dull adventure game with endless conversations and boring, unlogical puzzles. I wanna be challenged in puzzlesolving. A good story is great but the puzzles must be good. Thats most important! If i want to experience an excellent story I will read a Jack Vance novel. Please dont postpone this game any longer.

And will there any chance to have an option du make the gameplay feel like the original Myst or the Revin sequel? (prerendered views in the 4 or 6 directions)

[MoepOMania]

How much would you say have you been influenced and inspired by the Myst series to make this game?

And what do you say to the opinion that Prominance is a mixture of Myst (the puzzle and adventureaspect) and Portal (the scenery)?
