Dual Wielding And Other Improvements



Greetings, adventurers!

Some long-awaited features of the Fixpack have been released! They include dual-wielding, Steam Cloud support, fast-travel (single loading screen) to questgivers, and monster respawn in areas. Moreover, already known recipes are now marked in shops. We are working hard on the DLC and the other planned features (the remaining part of the Fixpack) of the base game as well.

We will release at least one additional major update before the end of the year. This will include a very important editor (tool) to provide improved modding support for the game.

Since the game has translations in 11 (eleven) languages, localization of new texts is a bigger challenge than we previously believed. Therefore, we will have to postpone all text-heavy features of the Fixpack (such as companion-specific epilogues and expanded romances lines) to next year. As a result of this optimization, their release is expectable at the same time or somewhat earlier than the DLC.

You can take a look at the full changelist below:

  • Dual-wielding for warrior and outlaw classes
  • Fast-travel to questgivers using the quest journal
  • Item tooltips now show which classes can use the item
  • Monster respawn in areas
  • Already known recipes are marked in shop UI
  • Added savegame file compression to reduce file size
  • Added Steam cloud save support
  • Added GOG achievements
  • Skeletons are now immune to Crimson Plague
  • Changed curative sap sounds
  • Siracca is now recruitable during To The Quick quest
  • The game is now available in two more resolutions
  • Corrected a visual bug that appeared on resolutions other than 16:9
  • Corpses of ghouls required for Destroy Them All quest no longer despawn if left unlooted before the quest is finished
  • Hearts required for Destroy Them All can no longer be stolen from ghouls and cultists
  • Trapped under the surface quest now fails if the player reports to the Spymaster before finishing it
  • Love's Labours Found quest now properly ends when the player pacifies mourning Beran
  • Urghos' aura no longer reacts to ranged attacks
  • Overlapping cutscenes concerning the stairs in Rothgor's Realm no longer block the player from progressing

As always and for all of you who continue to support Black Geyser and who continue to provide feedback here or on Discord, thank you so much!

New Expansion Pack Coming To Black Geyser



Ho there, adventurers!

The Kickstarter campaign for our expansion pack (DLC), Tales of the Moon Cult was successful. Thank you so much to everyone who supported us! Missed the Kickstarter? You can still pledge via PayPal on our Backer Portal.

[h3]Standard Box With Lorebook, Base Game and Expansion Pack - For $43 Only[/h3]

In the meantime, we received several e-mails asking if the standard boxed edition of the game is still available (it wasn't during the Kickstarter, and won't be manufactured in the future either). We checked our old stock and found a couple of copies in perfect state, so we decided to offer these to everyone - including our existing backers, of course. If you love game boxes, lorebooks and want to get the base game+expansion pack as well, you can get all these for only €39 (+ shipping). This is currently less than $43 (+ shipping). There are only a couple of copies left, so don't miss out!

[h3]Standalone Goodies For Collectors[/h3]

Goodies such as the Cloth Map of Isilmerald, the keychains, T-Shirt and mousepad are currently unavailable (the limited stock we have will be required to fulfill the Collector's Edition reward tiers). Having said that, if there is enough interest for them, we will have them manufactured again (manufacturing is only possible in big batches unfortunately). Interested in any of these goodies? Let us know please.

Tales of the Moon Cult Kickstarter Live!



[h3]Greetings adventurers,[/h3]

[h3]We are live on Kickstarter - with awesome rewards and add-ons![/h3]

If the campaign is successful, Black Geyser will get a new DLC - Tales of the Moon Cult! This expansion will add new locations on the world map with brand-new content, creatures, items, spells and riddles! It also introduces a complex questline focusing on the Cult of Zoria and their answer to the avarice and corruption affecting the nations of Yerengal. A completely free fixpack (not requiring the DLC) will be developed as well for Black Geyser, adding Strongholds, Dual Wielding and a number of other features to the base game - you can read more on the campaign page.

[h3]Collector's Edition Box & Exclusive Goodies[/h3]

This Kickstarter is also the last chance to get the Collector's Edition Box (with goodies included) of Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness.

We've received lot of e-mails from you, asking if the original Black Geyser Collector's Edition Box will be available or not. This truly warmed our hearts, but many things have changed (and not in a good direction) here since 2018. Especially material prices and manufacturing costs/conditions for premium boxes and hardcover books from printing companies skyrocketed. If we offer a Collector's Edition, it means we don't want to give you a box & goodies of questionable quality, while we still want it to be as affordable as possible to a wide range of fans. After a long discussion, we concluded that we'll offer the Collector's Box of Black Geyser for a last time (with all goodies included: hardcover book, cloth map, T-Shirt, mousepad, keychain) and will also include 2 additional keychains of your choice - we now have a brand-new Moon Cult keychain as well! If you already have the Collector's Edition Box but want to get a Moon Cult keychain, you can of course pre-order it as a standalone add-on.

Let's make Tales of the Moon Cult a reality together as a major DLC for Black Geyser!
