Black Reliquary - FAQ
Hello Everyone!
Here's some answers for a few questions we've seen and anticipate seeing over the Early Access launch of our mod.
[h2]1. What is Black Reliquary?[/h2]
Black Reliquary (BR) is a total conversion mod for Darkest Dungeon (DD). It overhauls almost the entirety of the game's content and reinvents most of its mechanics and systems.
[h2]2. When will BR be released?[/h2]
It will be released on 24th of March, 2023
[h2]3. When will BR be out of Early Access?[/h2]
When it's ready (we mean it)!
[h2]4. Is Darkest Dungeon required to download BR?[/h2]
Yes, as well as the Shieldbreaker and Crimson Court DLC on Steam.
[h2]5. Why is BR in a Bundle?[/h2]
The mod will be obtainable as a bundle that also includes Darkest Dungeon and two of its DLC: Shieldbreaker and Crimson Court. This is done in such a way as to check for the ownership of all the necessary content. The mod itself is free, and so will be the bundle if you own all the other content, and all profits from purchases of this bundle go directly to the Red Hook.
[h2]6. When will BR be translated to x language?[/h2]
We plan on adding the translations after the 1.0 release.
[h2]7. Will BR have a steam workshop?[/h2]
Not at this time.
[h2]8. Can I mod BR?[/h2]
It is possible, but the game has been so heavily modified that we do not recommend you do this. Do at your own risk
[h2]9. Can I use Darkest Dungeon mods on BR?[/h2]
Vast majority of mods made for DD will not function properly in BR. Only do this if you know what you're doing.
[h2]10. Will I be able to play on my old BR saves?[/h2]
Unfortunately, no. The Steam store edition is considered an entirely different program than the original and cannot share files between each other.
[h2]11. I opened BR for the first time, and there are already several saves already started? What's going on here? [/h2]
This is a result of BR storing its save data in a different directory. BR stores its save data where non-steam versions of DD store their saves.
Any pre-existing saves are a result of you creating a save in a non-steam version of Darkest Dungeon. Be careful, opening existing saves in BR or opening BR saves in non-steam DD is extrememly volitile.
[h2]12. I opened BR and all the text is a teal mess- what do I do?[/h2]
This can happen when you own a non-Steam version of the game prior to the Steam version and selected a language other than English. The mod currently does not support other languages, so the solution is to select English in the game's options. Once you have done so, restart your game.
[h2]13. I have the mod on Linux- why do all the add-ons look the same?[/h2]
Unfortunately this is out of our control, due to how Darkest Dungeon handles non-Windows editions. You are able to enable these add-ons by selecting the one at the top, however it forces ALL add-ons to be active, which will include a photosensitivity mode that drastically adjusts the game's visuals.
[h2]14. I ran into a bug, what should I do?[/h2]
Alongside the Steam Discussions, we also have an official Discord server for Black Reliquary, where we often check for bug reports and feedback on the mod.
[h2]15. Can I use assets from BR for my own mods or games? [/h2]
This depends upon a few factors. The majority of content was created originally by us, but some content still belongs to Red Hook. We do not allow public releases or unauthorized edits of our assets (private/ unshared assets are allowed), but content created by Red Hook remains their property.
[h2]16. Do you have social media accounts?[/h2]
We have a Discord server, a Twitter page, and a YouTube channel.
[h2]17. This soundtrack is cool, where can I download it?[/h2]
You will be able to get it on Steam when the mod comes out in Early Access:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2329400/Black_Reliquary_Soundtrack/
[h2]18. Do you have a press kit? [/h2]
We do! It is available here.
