Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness News

Over on the PC Gamer forums, we're raffling off a new RTX 3060-powered gaming PC provided by the creators of Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness. Black Geyser is an RPG inspired by classics such as Baldur’s Gate and Icewind Dale. It's releasing on Steam in Early Access soon, and the small team behind it has built this custom gaming system to promote that August 26 launch. One person who enters the sweepstakes will win the PC, which includes:..

Ho there, adventurers!

While we put the finishing touches to our Early Access build, we're proud to announce that we've partnered with Intel to give players the opportunity to grab a demo build of Black Geyser. With the clock ticking and the event opening in a few hours, you'll be able to get a key and play through the opening sections of the game: we wanted to give you all a heads-up.

How do you win a key?

Simple! Head to the page, follow the instructions, and as long as all the keys haven't gone, you'll get to jump into Black Geyser.

It's important to us that as many people as possible get a taste of what the game has to offer, and while the demo build isn't as vast as Early Access, we hope it gives just a glimpse of what we've been working on. We hope you'll encourage your friends to grab a demo key, but also dive in yourselves to explore what Isilmerald has to offer.

Please note these keys are Steam and Windows only.

We can't wait for Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness to launch into Early Access on August 26th, on Steam and GoG. We hope you'll join us on that journey: ‘Wishlist’ and ‘Follow’ us!

Ho there, adventurers!

As we march towards our August 26th Early Access release date, we just wanted to give a short update on a few little things we’ve been working on.

You wouldn’t be surprised to hear that we’re hard at work on quality assurance right now, as well as making smaller refinements to the Early Access version to ensure that your Black Geyser experience is as bug free as possible. However, while we might have missed some bugs(that’s the whole point of Early Access!), we still think it’s incredibly important to get the game in your hands as polished as possible.

One of the things we’ve recently done was to take a pass at the existing lighting in locations and buildings to ensure it’s all consistent. We realized that a tavern entrance in the town of Crimson Crossing didn’t look quite right - it had a bit of a lighting problem. As a huge tavern that’s important for travellers preparing to rest their weary heads after a long journey, how would its visitors find it? We’ve taken the time to not only add stronger lighting, but also far clearer signage...

Here's the before and after.



Previously in Black Geyser, there was no way to interact with signs when you wanted to establish a location: there is now!

Simply click with the mouse cursor on any signs in the game and the name of the location will be displayed. It might be a small change, but for immersion and getting to know your surroundings that little bit more, we think it makes a big difference.



Next week we’ll be rolling out a series of blog posts to talk about the Gods of Yerengal, crafting, a closer look at the world and how the greed system works.

Oh, and as a final surprise, here’s something we’ve been working on...



Look forward to jumping into the Kingdom of Isilmerald when Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness launches into Early Access on August 26th, 2021 on Steam and GOG. Don’t forget to ‘Wishlist’ and ‘Follow’ us!

Ho there, adventurers!

Late last month we were excited to finally launch our Steam Page. The page took a while to put together and we’re incredibly pleased with our community's feedback on it, as well as the latest trailer.

We have some additional news to share with you: Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness is going to be available on GOG, and the page is live right now! We're thrilled to have Black Geyser heading to GOG, and we hope this helps the game find a whole new audience outside Steam to increase our ever-growing community.

If you head over to the GOG page, you’ll be able to not only Wishlist the game but you’ll also be able to sign up to receive notifications to stay up-to-date on all things Black Geyser.

If you’d like to find out more about the game, we posted a community Q&A on Steam a few weeks ago where we answered many of our fans’ burning questions. You can find that right here. Interested in taking part in the conversation and chatting with other members of the community? Hop into our Discord.

Ho there, adventurers!

Today's an important milestone for Black Geyser. We've finally released our Steam page, unleashed our latest trailer to show just some of what we've been working on, while also having answers to some prominent community questions. Best of all, we've officially announced our Early Access date: August 26th, 2021!

[h2]New Steam Page[/h2]

Our Steam Page took quite some time to get right, but I think it's fair to say we're all incredibly happy with the result. Eagle-eyed fans who were busy searching for it found it well ahead of this announcement, and we're pleased to say feedback has been incredibly positive.

Not only does it give those new to Black Geyser an overview of the game and what they can come to expect, but it also answers some burning Early Access questions. Just head to the page (you can click below) and look just under the carousel.

We're keen to gain as much feedback as possible with how it looks, what comparable games you see, and whether you think anything is missing. Just let us know below, or head straight to our Discord. Oh, and don't forget to 'Wishlist' and 'Follow' us.
