Developer GrapeOcean Technologies has taken to the Steam page of classic cRPG Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness to announce exciting news. In early October the team will launch a Kickstarter campaign to fund the DLC development. The expansion will be titled Tales of the Moon Cult & you can find out more here.
If the Kickstarter campaign is successful, the studio won’t be forced to close, and the DLC is expected to arrive before August 2024. The DLC will be accompanied by a Fixpack – a free Steam/GOG update to all owners of the base game that doesn’t require the purchase of the expansion.
Back in March the developers have shared an update on the importance of the Kickstarter support:
“Finishing the DLC development helps us to overcome difficulties and survive this temporary period of darkness. Local economic forecasts for the 2nd half of 2023 are now carefully optimistic, but without your support for the DLC, there is no way we can survive till then. 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.”
