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:
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:
Ho there, adventurers!
The Kickstarter campaign for Tales of the Moon Cult was successful. Thank you so much to everyone who supported us! The expansion pack (DLC) is expectable to launch before August 2024. Missed the Kickstarter? You can still pledge via PayPal on our Backer Portal.
Ho there, adventurers!
The Kickstarter campaign for Tales of the Moon Cult is launching on 17th October (next Tuesday)!
We're still working on some features of the campaign. If you plan to support us, please help our planning by clicking the "Notify me on launch" button on its Kickstarter page.
If the upcoming Kickstarter campaign is successful, our studio will not have to shut down. In this case, the launch of the Tales of the Moon Cult expansion (DLC) is expectable before August 2024.
The DLC introduces brand-new areas with new content and a major questline focusing on the Zoria Cult and their answer to the corruption of greed affecting the world. Some of the planned features for the free Fixpack are as follows:
Greetings, adventurers!
We are happy to announce that we are going to launch a Kickstarter campaign very soon (early October) to fund the DLC's development - its Coming Soon page is already live on Kickstarter!
We encourage you to log in to Kickstarter and subscribe to its launch notification on the Coming Soon page. Your subscription (the number of subscribers) will help us a lot in the planning of the campaign, including the stretch goals.
If the Kickstarter campaign is successful, our studio won't be forced to close, and the DLC is expected to arrive before August 2024.
You can check out this forum post for more details on the DLC and its associated Fixpack. We want to emphasize that this Fixpack will be a free Steam/GOG update to all owners of the base game, so you won't need to purchase the DLC to get it.
Backers of our previous Kickstarter campaign who haven't received their physical rewards yet (game box, lorebook etc.) will receive all items well before the start of the DLC campaign, as all shipping will be completed before the end of September.
Thank you for your support and be sure to join us on Discord, or across social media, to let us know your thoughts.

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 Jnior (@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.

Greetings, adventurers!
We are thrilled to announce that Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness is now available in Italian! Our heartfelt thanks goes to Giacomo Falconi from Wordbridge for the Italian translation of the game.
In March, we informed the community about serious issues regarding the current and future operation of the Black Geyser team. We are still working on these issues and will come to a final conclusion in August that we will share with you immediately. Thank you for your patience.
Since our last update, several fixes and improvements have been implemented as well. You can read their list below.
Ho there, adventurers!
We are thrilled to announce that Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness is now available in French! Our heartfelt thanks goes to Vincent "Goat Buster" Lagaillarde for the French translation of the game.
Since our last update, several fixes and improvements have been implemented as well. You can read their list below.
Greetings, adventurers!
Just a quick update before the Winter Sale. We are happy to share that the French translation is coming very soon, in January 2023! If you have been waiting for the French localization and don't own the game yet, the upcoming Winter Sale is a great opportunity to get Black Geyser.
Since our previous Steam post, Black Geyser received two updates with several improvements and bugfixes. You can see their combined changelog below. Moreover, you can always visit this Steam topic for the most recent changelist of the game.
Ho there, adventurers!
The current update brings long-awaited features as well as some surprises! Summary of changes:
Greetings, adventurers!
As you know, a major game update is coming tomorrow that also includes the option to create your own custom party (more details can be found in our previous post).
In the meantime, we have also created a completely free, online Character Generator website for you. It allows you to export and download your character (or a full custom party), which you can import directly into the game (after tomorrow's update). As you can open the website from any location, you can have fun with character builds even when you don't have Black Geyser installed on your current device.
You don't need to own the game to create a party with this online website. Anyone is welcome to use it!
Thank you for your continued support and feedback!

Greetings, adventurers!
A major update for Black Geyser is coming next week with long-awaited features and improvements:
Ho there, adventurers!
We are glad to announce that the French and Italian translations have just started! Currently, the following localizations are in progress:
Greetings, adventurers!
The current update not only brings a fully finished Arvex companion quest along with several fixes and improvements, but we are also thrilled to announce that Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness is now available in Turkish and Russian! Our eternal thanks goes to Gkhan Halil Dzgn from 23 Studios for the Turkish translation, and to Roman "Scarab-Phoenix" Matsuk for the Russian translation of the game.
Additionally, we are happy to share that the Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese translations are now in progress! Regarding other languages, we will update you as soon as we have more information.
For more information on why some localizations arrive sooner than others, please take a look at this Steam post: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1374930/view/3362515187788465634
Mac & Linux: For technical reasons (such as Apple's notarization process), the current update for Mac and Linux will go live after a couple of days. Thank you for your patience.
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.
Ho there, adventurers!
As we continue our post-launch push to improve on all that you've asked, we've delivered two recent updates that deliver key requests: additional party banter and achievements.
Alongside this, we've added the Staff of New Dawn (an item offering resurrection) which sees those who carry it no longer needing to visit temples if a party member dies. We've also finished and extended the Hamlin, Bjalla and Jade companion quests. Take a look at the full notes below.
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 wasnt perfect and there remains plenty to accomplish, were glad to see that our continued efforts have seen our recent raft of reviews vastly improve player perceptions. Weve 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 weeks update, we added the Pass Time feature alongside other improvements. Where todays update is concerned, theres quite a lot of improvements that many of you have requested (full changelog here):
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 dont 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.
Ho there, adventurers!
Over the last couple of weeks and since we've launched Black Geyser, we've been delivering updates almost daily to address your feedback. Since our last major notes list, we thought it time to deliver another. If you want to keep up with the frequency of our patches, you can always find real-time updates for our notes here.
March 29th, 2022
Ho there, adventurers!
First of all, we wanted to say thank you to those of you who have picked up Black Geyser and ventured through the dangerous Kingdom of Isilmerald so far. Weve loved seeing folks try the game and have been using your valuable feedback to fix and patch the items youve brought to our attention.
Below youll find a full list of patch notes from this month so far. In the coming days well be showing off our roadmap and sharing the major issues were tackling so you can stay up to date on all things Black Geyser.
March 18th, 2022
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.
Ho there, adventurers!
Black Geyser is just 3 days away. Are you ready to explore its world and become corrupted by Greed? Enjoy our launch trailer!

Ho there, adventurers!
With 3 days to go until Black Geyser launches, we wanted to quickly give you an update on its pricing as we prepare for release.
Currently priced at 24.99 / $24.99, we always wanted Black Geyser to be available at a reduced price during Early Access. Those diving in early werent receiving a complete game, there were plenty of bugs and unfinished content: its only fair!
Having now delivered over 20 updates to Black Geyser since August 2021, with sweeping changes, bug fixes and major improvements all thanks to you, the game is where we want it to be (though there's more to come). For anyone whos unsure what weve improved over the past 7 months, feel free to take a look at our new and improved Steam page.
Whether its improved load times, a new and updated tutorial, quests, combat scaling and fresh locations, almost all areas of Black Geyser have been improved and expanded.
With that in mind, and to ensure further expansion of the game as we march on past launch, well be slightly increasing the retail price to 29.99 / $29.99 on March 17th.
If you know youll be buying Black Geyser, wed highly recommend you pick it up now for the reduced price, to grab yourselves a bargain.

Ho there, adventurers!
There are many mysteries surrounding the gods of Yerengal and yet their influence is felt throughout the kingdom. It starts from the icy tundra of northern Jotnar, moves to the rising dunes of the Eastern empires, and beyond the endless Zandur sea. Our understanding of them depends on our ability to look to the dawn of creation...
Generations ago, Alnarius, the King-god of Love, and Tilindia, the Mother goddess of Nature, created the universe, and Yerengal was their greatest creation. The first beings, also known as the Many, were created by Alnarius and Tilindia. They have been formed by Tilindia, but shaped by Alnarius, who gave them purpose, passion, and ambition. The Many were tested in order to demonstrate their worth, allowing them to show they can and would live in harmony with this new planet.
As the Many prospered, they began to refer to themselves as Man. Having realized the purpose of their existence, Man cared for the planet and sought the mysteries of their existence. The power and influence of man grew as did his faith and his faith granted the gods abundance in nourishment.
When new gods joined Alnarius and Tilindia, they welcomed them with open arms, even though many of these new gods yearned for the great power the two originals possessed. Alnarius and Tilindia, however, were happy to share their creation with them. These new gods did not always come from the light of the sun, but rather from the shadows of a void, attracted to the power of human infidelity or worse qualities such as chaos and disharmony.
The shadows of the land were made by a very powerful devil-god named Rothgor, whose intentions were evil. It was he who rewarded creatures for doing wicked things and causing Man to doubt and fear. Over time, the new gods developed the same passion and ambition that filled man, many of whom formed alliances with each other to gain more power.
They desperately strived to attain and maintain power which failed, but Rothgor's aim has not changed. In his single-mindedness, he simply wanted to become strong enough to destroy Alnarius and Tilindia, which in turn would return everything back to pure darkness.
Alnarius and Tilindia were extremely powerful due to the land of Man, however. Rothgor could not overthrow them, so now he lurks in the shadows, influencing the fates of men in some way, always trying to undo their hard work.
Because of Man's prosperity, Rothgor eventually became sickly and weak. It wasn't until he was visited by Zornilsa, the goddess of greed, that he realized her potential. Rothgorhe welcomed her with open arms, and together they created the Black Geyser, the very embodiment of their darkest, coldest aspects combining to undo the world of Man. As the Black Geyser poisons Man's mind and soul with greed and envy, it lurks in the shadows of Man, working much more subtly and with far more catastrophic results.
Now, the Kingdom of Isilmerald is facing a precipice of chaos, and mistrust has spread throughout the land. People of all backgrounds, whether highborn or lowborn, have become fascinated by material things. Splintering has occurred within the blessed kingdom of prosperity, resulting in distinct factions.
The Black Geyser has corrupted both sides so much, that both now prepare for war.

Ho there, adventurers! Since Black Geyser released into Early Access in August 2021, we've been blown away by the sheer amount of feedback and support we've received. We knew that the game wasn't quite where we wanted it to be, and we wanted to work hard and use this time to refine our vision. In total, we've delivered over 19 huge updates. From significant improvements to loading times, all new quest chapters, to a fully reworked tutorial and fresh zones: 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. We've also delivered Linux and Mac Support, a full rebalance for casters, implemented improved boss mechanics and delivered major improvements to its combat and damage scaling. We're not finished, and with our launch date agreed as March 17, 2022, we've still more to do in the coming weeks! We wanted to thank everyone who has been on this journey with us, and we can't wait for you to dive into the full release as we get over the finish line. In the coming days, we'll be releasing more information on what's on the horizon, as well as some blog posts giving any new players greater insight into the world we've been creating and our all-new launch trailer.

We wanted to thank you all for your patience as we worked on this release, and we're also happy to say it brings with it a whole host of additional improvements, including more global performance tweaks. Here's the full details:
Our friends at Lost Pilgrims have just launched Vagrus - The Riven Realms into full release here on Steam.
We love to support other titles, and there's few better than Vagrus: a turn-based, open-world, dark fantasy RPG. The game moves out of Early Access with well over a hundred hours of playable content. Vagrus and its haunting world were born from decades of tabletop RPG campaigns played by the founders of Lost Pilgrims, which adds vastly to the games unique atmosphere and the richness of its setting.
[previewyoutube=a9YepcSLYEI;full][/previewyoutube]
Vagrus is an award-winning roleplaying game with a narrative focus, open-world exploration, and strong elements of strategy. The player takes the role of a vagrus - a caravan leader who strives to survive in a strange and dangerous dark fantasy world by leading a traveling company on all kinds of ventures.
Ho there, adventurers!
Our eleventh update contains many bugfixes and improvements based on your feedback:

Ho there, adventurers!
Over the last few weeks weve been hard at work putting Black Geyser through its paces, to make sure its as bug free as possible across both PC, Mac and Linux systems.
Unfortunately, in recent days weve encountered several critical issues on Mac and Linux that has led to use making the difficult decision to delay their respective releases by several weeks. Were incredibly sorry for this, and know there are plenty of you who were looking forward to exploring Isilmerald.
Where both platforms are concerned, unavoidable issues have arisen in the building process for these platforms, and the team is working hard to resolve them as quickly as possible.
As soon as we're able, we'll be providing Mac and Linux users with an update on when you can expect to be able to play Black Geyser.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
