Steam Workshop, Modding, Flails And More

GrapeOcean Technologiessteam_community_announcementsworkshop

586d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40772385/0efb012a09bdff69dc76cdfbbf863cdceaeb40b5.png Ho there, adventurers, We're excited to announce that flail items, user-friendly modding, and Steam Workshop support have finally arrived, allowing players to enhance their gaming experience like never before! For modding support, we summarize the most important features below:

Mod Manager with Steam Workshop support: Easily manage your mods with our new Mod Manager, which includes seamless Steam Workshop support for hassle-free downloads and updates.
Modding Toolkit: Access an amazing mod toolkit featuring a generic form editor, asset browser, creature editor, item editor, and spell editor to bring your creative ideas to life.
Asset Browser: Use your own images and sounds in your mods with our intuitive asset browser, allowing for a personalized touch to your creations.
In-Game Editing Mode: Press F9 in the game to activate Editing Mode, enabling you to easily place position markers and spawn points in game areas.
Simple Mod Publishing: Upload and publish your mod on the Steam Workshop with just a few clicks, making it easy to share your creations with the community.
Additional Tools in Development: Stay tuned for more exciting features, including a dialogue and quest editor, currently under development.

Dive in now and start creating your own mods to share with the community!

Modifying existing game files

For existing game data files, the Modding Toolkit for Black Geyser currently supports only file-based modding. For example, when you modify an NPC, the toolkit saves the entire NPC file into your mod, rather than just the changes made from the original version of the NPC. Therefore, if two mods modify any stats of the same NPC, they will be incompatible. This is because the second mod will completely overwrite the NPC file used by the first mod. As a result, a warning will be displayed, and only the changes from the mod that is loaded last will be applied to that NPC.

Managing Incompatible Mods

For incompatible mods, the Mod Manager displays a warning. This doesn't mean you must uninstall one of the mods; rather, you should ensure that the two mods are not active at the same time. If you choose to keep both of them active, be sure to understand how their changes are applied based on their loading order. The Mod Manager allows you to set the loading order for active mods, which determines the priority of their changes in the game. Additionally, organizing incompatible mods into different modsets—distinct collections of mods you can create in the Mod Manager—can be a good solution as well.

Ensuring The Best Experience For Mod Users

While file-based modding has its limitations, it also has the benefit of providing a predictable experience for players. In the example above, you can be confident that the modified NPC in your mod will function exactly as you have tested it in your local game—ensuring a consistent experience for everyone using your mod. In the future, we hope to add content-based modding as well for existing game data files. This aims to extend the Modding Toolkit with an intelligent, scripting-based feature that will enable you to manipulate existing game files on a content level.

Steam Cloud, Dual Wielding & More

By the way, in case you missed it, we recommend checking out our previous update as well. This introduced Steam Cloud support, dual wielding, fast travel to questgivers and several other novelties to the game.

Fixes and Improvements

Below you can find the complete list of changes and fixes of the current update:

Added Flails as a new weapon type
Introduced Steam Workshop support and Mod Manager
Introduced Black Geyser Modding Toolkit
Command Company now correctly applies the Havoc bonus
Fixed an issue in Deron-Guld Mine which caused keybinds to stop working
Duchess Kjarvalr no longer offers investigation options after the trial started
The dialogue with Tattered Woman no longer triggers for invisible characters

We are truly grateful to everyone who has joined us on this journey and continues to support Black Geyser. The Black Geyser Team https://store.steampowered.com/app/1374930/Black_Geyser_Couriers_of_Darkness/

Dual Wielding And Other Improvements

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40772385/04cf91597fe931de7e5720e828bdb50712040338.png 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! The Black Geyser Team https://store.steampowered.com/app/1374930/Black_Geyser_Couriers_of_Darkness/

Tales of the Moon Cult Kickstarter Live!

GrapeOcean Technologiessteam_community_announcements

1020d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40772385/799139259ea7fdfdab1cd2552137ac94a3fb2834.png

Greetings adventurers,

We are live on Kickstarter - with awesome rewards and add-ons!

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.

Collector's Edition Box & Exclusive Goodies

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! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40772385/d2dc720ddbe1c295a1f17ad160fc7116fede1e50.gif The Black Geyser Team {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40772385/8e6acca77dbbdca35e5caaa516989bd1f4a95e0c.png https://store.steampowered.com/app/1374930/Black_Geyser_Couriers_of_Darkness/

Brazilian Localization Released

1069d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40772385/e463fd61c5c86d53af6233ecfce1ae6be20170ea.png Ho there, adventurers! First of all, we are truly happy to announce that Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness is now available in Brazilian Portuguese! Our eternal thanks goes to Edson Belo de Oliveira Júnior (@mundonasher) for the Brazilian localization of the game. This translation wouldn't have been possible without his highly professional work method and selfless dedication to the project. Regarding the future of Black Geyser and the developer team, THANK YOU so much for providing truly valuable feedback in our the Google survey (it will remain open for some more time). Based on the results of the survey, we have decided to organize a Kickstarter campaign for the DLC in the near future. We also managed to secure the required minimum budget for organizing such a campaign. For more details on the planned DLC, see this post. If the Kickstarter is successful, our team will be able to stay together and create a DLC for the game. In this case, a free fixpack will also be developed for the base game, which will be delivered as a free regular update to all owners of the game (you won't need to own the DLC to receive this update). Even though we call it a fixpack, it will contain new features and important QoL improvements as well (check out this post for the complete list). Since a successful Kickstarter campaign for the DLC enables the Black Geyser team to stay afloat, it will also allow us to plan a Black Geyser sequel in details and launch another Kickstarter later to fund its development. Sadly, if the DLC Kickstarter fails, our studio will most likely be forced to shut down. We will inform you as soon as we have more details to share about the upcoming Kickstarter. This update should happen within two weeks. Mac & Linux: For technical reasons (such as Apple's notarization process), the current update with the PT-BR localization for Mac and Linux will go live after a couple of days. Thank you for your patience. The Black Geyser Team https://store.steampowered.com/app/1374930/Black_Geyser_Couriers_of_Darkness/

Asking Your Genuine Feedback

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40772385/f75ef0d60d34060ac36afc7db1c8cca166e596b8.png

Ho there, adventurers!

Sadly, we don't have good news today. We were truly happy on 8th January when Black Geyser won the Bronze Medal in the "Game of the Year Awards 2022 - Best RPG" category on RPGWatch, but now, darkness approaches. We reached a point where we just can't keep going in these circumstances. We will need to make a successful Kickstarter soon to help finish our DLC for Black Geyser. This DLC would be released around August, giving a major boost for Black Geyser sales as well. We already have substantial content finished for this DLC, so its development won't happen from scratch.

Why Kickstarter is Necessary

A successful Kickstarter allows us to complete the development of a brand-new DLC for Black Geyser (take a look at planned DLC features). Once released, the DLC will automatically improve Black Geyser sales as well. (Existing backers who already pre-ordered the Black Geyser DLC add-on before will be offered another cool reward for their support in the new Kickstarter.) Your support in Kickstarter is a win-win situation, because it allows you to pre-order the DLC at a discounted price. As a part of the DLC development, a free Fixpack will also be created for Black Geyser (with long-awaited features such as strongholds, dual-wielding, expanded romances, or the option to travel directly to questgivers from the journal menu - see complete list). When the DLC is released, this standalone Fixpack update will be delivered automatically to all owners of the base game. Players who don't own the DLC will also receive this free update on Steam and GOG. After creating the DLC and Fixpack, we are planning to re-use the Black Geyser game engine to create a Black Geyser sequel and other brand-new games. We have created a FAQ below, and there is a Google survey as well that we ask you to answer. Thank you in advance for your feedback!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I don't do Kickstarters. Can I use PayPal to support your campaigns instead? A: Yes. PayPal pledging usually opens on the last day of Kickstarter campaigns. Q: When should the Kickstarter launch for the DLC & Fixpack? A: This depends on several factors, but we would like to launch it in April.

Create Your Full Party, Difficulty Rebalance and Spanish Language

GrapeOcean Technologiessteam_community_announcements

1348d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40772385/6972e50de56a40f2f77e55c9a367f637ac84a874.png Ho there, adventurers! The current update brings long-awaited features as well as some surprises! Summary of changes:

Create up to 5 custom characters during character creation if you prefer
A free online tool to create character builds that you can import into the game
Charisma, Focus and Dexterity now enable more enjoyable and versatile character builds
Balance: improved early-game and end-game difficulty for smoother gameplay
Spanish localization (both for Spain and Latin America)
Lots of bugfixes

Create Your Full Party

When you start a new game, Black Geyser allows you to create your main character as well as up to 4 custom characters for your party. These additional characters won't be present in the prologue and tutorial of the game; you will be able to recruit them a tad bit later. Their location will be displayed in the Summary screen of the Character Creation UI, as well as in the Party Manager UI during the game. We will also list their locations below (SPOILER ALERT):

On Merchant's Road, standing by the eastern edge of the rocky outcropping north of the smoking wreckage.

At the Isilbright Gates, by the lion statue on the right side of the bridge.

Just outside the Crooked Haggler, to the left of the entrance.

Inside the Crooked Haggler, standing at the bar. If the game progresses to the main quest "To The Quick" before recruiting the second and third custom companion, they move inside the Crooked Haggler. Creating your custom party no longer requires you to own a copy of Black Geyser, since we also created a completely free, online Character Generator website for you. It allows you to create and download a custom party, which you can import directly into the game if you wish. Since you can use this website from any location, you can have fun with character builds even when you don't have Black Geyser installed on your current device.

Balance and Attributes Update

In terms of balance, the current update addresses two earlier issues of the game: early-game areas were too easy, and the second half of the game could be unfair due to a harsh spike in difficulty. In terms of attributes, three stats (Charisma, Focus, and Dexterity) were redesigned carefully. For a precise description of balance and attribute changes, please take a look at this detailed documentation.

Spanish Localization

Both versions of Spanish localization (Spain and Latin America) are now available for the game! We want to express our eternal thanks to Miguel Lara for creating these translations for Black Geyser. Without his selfless and precise work, the game wouldn't be available in Spanish now. We also want to thank Oscar "DonHart" Gómez for his participation in the LATAM version of the Spanish localization.

Our Future

We are a very small indie team with a particularly meager budget and a single product. If you like our work, you can support the project by posting a review on Steam to let others know what you think. We would love to create a sequel for Black Geyser, taking into account the lessons we learnt so far as well as your awesome feedback to make the sequel an even better and refined product.

Fixes and improvements

You can now create a full custom party instead of a single character if you prefer
You can also use our free website to create your characters
Added Spanish and Latin American Spanish localizations
Improved game balance
Redesigned Charisma
Increased damage bonus of Clean hits from 25% to 50%

Fresh Update and Localization FAQ!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40772385/bde70ce5c2fefa71b881a2a1c502ff198c82c5d6.png Ho there, adventurers! Since the release of the game, we have received many questions from you on several topics, including the future translations of the game to various languages. In this update, we are presenting a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) that gives answer to the most frequent questions we have received. At the end of the update, you can also find the changelist of the most recent patches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: I thought the game would be translated to my language by now. Why are some languages available while others are still not? Do you prefer some languages to others? Answer: There is no preference between languages, we would love to add all of them. The only thing that determines which languages are added are our possibilities, including our financial options. The game currently has more than 280,000 words of text, which is an extreme amount of text for an indie title. Translating this many words is usually very expensive, and takes a very long time for an affordable translator. Question: I still don’t get it. Why were some languages already added that have a much smaller player base compared to other, major languages that are still unavailable? Answer: As a small indie studio, we are adding languages that we can, not the ones we want to. For example, some of the existing/upcoming translations were made by our friends or enthusiasts of the genre/game, who are professional translators but translated Black Geyser basically for free or at a very low cost. We don’t prefer adding language X to language Y because we like X better than Y, but because there was enough time and budget for language X. Skipping/postponing language X wouldn’t have helped for adding language Y at all. Question: My language is still not there anyway. Should I forget it? Answer: Definitely not! As soon as we have more information (such as an ETA) about a particular language, we will let you know. By the way, Russian and Turkish translation will be added very very soon. We will post more information about them in the upcoming days. Question: As a small indie studio, you still had a budget for the game and translations, what happened with that? You also had a Kickstarter campaign. Answer: As stated on our Kickstarter page, the Kickstarter funds were only a part of the funding that we secured from external sources. Unfortunately, as an indie project, we faced many difficulties in the years following the Kickstarter, including the challenges caused by the pandemics. Based on community feedback throughout the years, we also changed the scope of some things in the game and refined/reworked certain features. Altogether, the overall budget required to complete the game increased by the time the pandemics ended. Therefore, less budget remained for translations than we initially anticipated. Question: Why don’t you allocate more budget? It would allow you to add the missing features and languages. I have also posted a negative review about the game with the hope it will encourage your company to fix bugs faster and add the missing languages. Do you not listen to these reviews? Answer: We do not have any external funding. Black Geyser is currently our only project, and it is the only source of revenue for the team. We appreciate all feedback, including negative reviews as well, because they are very useful to us for deciding how and where to improve the game. Regarding your question, paradoxically, the more negative ratings we get, the less the game’s revenue will be, even reducing our financial resources to the extent where we’re unable to improve the game by adding missing features or language translations. At the moment, our team is very small, and while we read and process every single review, we lack the resources to implement all requests in a short time. Question: If you have had so many issues, why have you released the game so early? I’m glad to see you are constantly improving the game and listening to player feedback, but why didn’t you do these much earlier? Answer: As a small team, we have been doing our best. If we had been able to postpone the release and refine the game before the launch, we would have done it. Black Geyser has been our dream project, but there are financial limitations. The question wasn’t whether there can be a “Perfect Black Geyser” or a “Black Geyser that needs refinements”, but whether Black Geyser exists or not. Based on the feedback of our community, we felt the only right decision was to stay together, release the game and then keep supporting it as we do now.

Latest Update & Future Roadmap

clownst0ppersteam_community_announcements

1542d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40772385/64540b83725263191210abeb049ec331b8fe5353.png Ho there, adventurers! In March, after a hugely positive Early Access period, we launched Black Geyser into 1.0. We were incredibly proud to have addressed many of the issues that players raised and our small team did our best to identify and fix key concerns. While the game wasn’t perfect and there remains plenty to accomplish, we’re glad to see that our continued efforts have seen our recent raft of reviews vastly improve player perceptions. We’ve still a long way to go to get the game where we want it to be and have been working hard on not only our next update but also our future roadmap. In last week’s update, we added the Pass Time feature alongside other improvements. Where today’s update is concerned, there’s quite a lot of improvements that many of you have requested (full changelog here):

You can now use the worldmap to travel to reachable areas without the need to visit area border
Multiclassing is more worthwhile: previously, XP requirements of chosen classes were summed for multiclassing. These XP sums are now reduced by 20% for using two classes, and 40% for using three classes, making multiclassing more fun.
Magical bags for additional item storage: Bottomless Bag of Bulguras and Superabundant Sack of Swinishness
Rebalanced final battle and the ability to pre-buff before most key battles

Besides this and before the end of the month we’ll also be adding the following (with more to come):

37 brand-new Steam achievements
Dozens of new banters for party members
Finished (extended) companion quests for Bjalla, Jade and Hamlin
Dozens of side quests fixes

As far as our mid-term plans are concerned - and some of these may arrive before the end of the month - we’re wanting to further expand on our quest journal and travel system. These changes will include:

Quest journal mentions the quest giver name and location
Quest journal offers a button to travel directly to quest giver (allows a single loading screen instead of multiple loading screens across outdoor and indoor areas)
Customize the shortcut for ingame highlights (currently, it’s hardcoded to the TAB key)
Compare a weapon item to both equipped weapon sets (three-tooltip comparison)
Potion Case, Ingredient Pouch and Parchment Satchel item to hold potions, ingredients, scrolls and recipes

Finally, our long term plans are very much in the works and while we don’t yet have a firm date on when they'll arrive, we’ll have them to you as soon as possible.

Finished (extended) companion quest for Arvex
Customizable ability bar by player
Item descriptions will list the classes that can use the item
Pets
Strongholds
More spells
More love for unarmed combat (such as items giving a bonus)
Two-weapon style (dual wield)
Flails
Deluxe Edition
Game OST as an independent asset
Revising many fetch quests to make them more complex and interesting
Additional, complex side quests
Create a full party during character creation
Savegame file compression to reduce disk space usage
Modding support (including the possibility to lift class restrictions of races)
Additional localizations (translations) of the game

For everyone who has joined us on this journey and continues to support Black Geyser we’re incredibly grateful and we look forward to you diving into these latest updates. /Black Geyser Team https://store.steampowered.com/app/1374930/Black_Geyser_Couriers_of_Darkness/

Pass Times Travel To Black Geyser

clownst0ppersteam_community_announcements

1549d ago

Ho there, adventurers! Having released our latest update we're pleased to say that a key community requested component has been added: Pass Time. The Pass Time feature allows your party to wait an arbitrary amount of time, rather than time passing in real-time. It's particularly useful when you need to wait due to a quest or want to change the time of day (day or night) and you don’t want to visit an inn. Like anything in Black Geyser, it's down to you whether you choose to use this, or avoid it completely. Besides this we've made additional improvements to brewing and drying, enemy encounters, loot and sounds. As always, you can visit our stream of update notes here.

Black Geysers Officially Launches

clownst0ppersteam_community_announcements

1599d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40772385/9296d59e03afcdc8d4aa7b7598ff724ffdd2102b.png Ho there, adventurers! After years of development, a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign, and over 6 months of Early Access, Black Geyser officially launched into 1.0 today. In that time, we've worked incredibly hard to implement your feedback and improve on the things that matter to you.

What We've Improved

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40772385/01222bf49ed0a12c287f417577687062bad04b47.png Black Geyser's most requested improvement. We've vastly improved load times to significantly improve the speed at which you can enter and exit buildings and zones. We continue to work hard on improving these even further. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40772385/8b9147bee074d5029c0552ca9e1d0648cad8ed3d.png You suggested, we delivered. Our tutorial wasn't perfect, and Black Geyser was difficult to start out in. We've overhauled the tutorial, cleaned up our signposting and given players much more help through its opening hours. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40772385/59d0260b5f22d3f87f5c6797391f2ee76087544d.png Magic lacked spark. You right highlighted that casters were far too weak compared to other classes in Black Geyser, so we completely reworked their abilities and balance to significantly improve their potency. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40772385/19c4e407adae701e7d8b5cec8a2bfce4c7d8b53f.png You wanted even more content and we were happy to oblige. Black Geyser was already a large game, but when it comes to old-school CRPG's, we agree you can never have enough. We've implemented all new quests, Chapter 3 of the core story and made significant improvements to plenty of others. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40772385/bf2453ae148c66b05ce0b253948a4b0fafb15e24.png Hitting like a wet noodle is never fun. Many players raised concerns that their characters and their abilities weren't scaling properly, leaving them feeling far too weak against ever tougher enemies. We've fixed this, so you'll feel much stronger as you explore the wilds of Yerengal. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40772385/3d025e54f729d2474c2629d2ef740b73dabb5ea7.png Everyone should be able to play Black Geyser. Mac & Linux support were important for us and our community, and never more so than with the Steam Deck having arrived (we have hopes!). We're pleased to say Black Geyser is now available on both. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40772385/ad6a2f7cac7d73282defe3799909acd593440d24.png We want our encounters to be tactical and challenging. We've added all new boss mechanics and unique encounters to Black Geyser. These are designed to make fights much more tactical, while ensuring greater difficulty for those who choose to seek out these enemies. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40772385/a27def0014fb2bb0b354f472e839f571ced6b92f.png Wrap up warm for these cold spots. You can now explore the northern frozen harbour of Freynagar, separated from the city by a huge ice dome, or take a trip to Amanuel's Hoard, the seaside fort owned by the greediest man in history. These new zones come with a cold warning. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40772385/07da2c598c5fc977bfa52ae7173191fd55032bf0.png Love to make potions? Its got much better Our crafting wasn't as intuitive as it could be, and it was too time consuming. We've streamlined the process, implemented automated recipes (have the items in your inventory? You'll be able to craft at the press of a button) and refined the process by making it much more accessible.

Final Thanks

Finally if you've missed it, we've a launch trailer below! Thank you to everyone who has been on this journey with us and don't worry, we're not finished yet. We've plenty of updates on the horizon. For all those diving in for the first time, be sure to stop by our Discord and chat by the fire. The Black Geyser Team https://store.steampowered.com/app/1374930/
