Are you certain a game called Black Geyser will not be LGBT propaganda material? :troll:

It will be the COOL and codex approved LGBT propaganda

Straight up copying the Pillars-UI is not the worst choice.
It's not the only thing. Those pics are quite reminiscent of Tides of Numenera, despite not being "biological":

The second one is.

Anyways, I'm just noting that they're being inspired by everything related to the Pillars engine & games. Seems deliberate.

Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture
I need a new isometric RPG so badly that I am unironically waiting for this game. Please help me

Go play Pathfinder: Kingmaker
I loved Kingmaker and I really enjoyed my time with it, but, even if character creation and party management are 10/10, I can't force myself to go through the entire game again for two reasons:
- there is no atmosphere. Everything is too bland and uninspired. To me, in the immersion department it's the exact opposite of Icewind Dale I.
- the game has too much downtime. During the first playthrough I actually enjoyed the kingdom management parts, but now I find it meaningless, repetitive and boring.

Kingdom management and forced companions is what kills replay-ability of PFKM

Lets hope this game won't have either of those

Btw why this game is not released yet 5 years after its kickstarter

Backer Beta internals: Deron-Guld

We have extended the Late Pledge Campaign of Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness! It will end on the 23rd of January, 2020. We decided to extend the initial deadline (26th of December) after receiving numerous requests from players who are keen on getting the Backer Beta / Early Access but aren’t able to pledge until January. Before we proceed with presenting some Backer Beta internals, here is some information on the ways you can pledge.

The playable Backer Beta will be delivered on March 24th, 2020 to backers who

  • pledge (or have already pledged) for the Early Access reward tier (or any upper tiers), or
  • pre-order the “Early Access to Backer Beta” add-on.
Click here to pre-order the Backer Beta access for 22 euros ($25) as a standalone add-on. (Note: if you are not an existing backer or haven't pledged for any reward tier that includes a Digital Copy of the game, then this add-on will give you only the Backer Beta but not the full game. For the latter, a Digital Download or Early Bird Digital Download pledge – or any upper reward tier – is required as well. Other rewards of the original $99 Early Access tier are not included either.)

044a1e6f9a41c1236a2329149c894c09_original.png

If you want to get all Early Access rewards instead of just the standalone Backer Beta add-on, then you need to pre-order (or upgrade to) the original, complete Early Access reward tier ($99):

  • If you are not yet a backer, you can use our PayPal-based backer portal to pre-order it.
  • If you are an existing backer with a BackerKit account, please contact us so that we can re-open your locked order in BackerKit before you can upgrade to the full Early Access tier.
If you need help or have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us on Kickstarter or through our Facebook page.

Deron-Guld: a desperate city on the brink of collapse
With the backer beta quickly approaching, we wanted to show off a location that will feature heavily in the portion of the game the beta will explore: Deron-Guld. Deron-Guld is the second largest city in Isilmerald, an important mining town and economic powerhouse in the region, and the capital for the rebellion against the kingdom. By the time the player first arrives in Deron-Guld, things are going very poorly for the residents. Can you intervene to save Deron-Guld? Can you even discover the poison eating at its heart before it’s too late?

Following is some concept art for areas of Deron-Guld so you can get a better feel for how we designed it behind the scenes. The city itself has always been centered on mining and trade rather than decoration, and the recent troubles have done nothing to improve it, so solemn stone and wood comprise many of the buildings. Nonetheless, Deron-Guld has no shortage of areas to discover and stories to engage in.

Below you can see the market. Like everything else in Deron-Guld it has come on hard times; a blacksmith’s shop and a general store are all that remain open amid the desperation. People need to eat, after all, and no war machine can function without steel…

The following picture shows the concept art for the Curious Cat, the one inn and tavern in Deron-Guld. While the outside may be as simple and unadorned as any other building in the city, the inside is the one place where locals can get a flash of color and music to forget their troubles.

And, of course, no war-torn city would be complete without a well-populated graveyard. But can war alone account for the bodies strewn haphazardly on the ground? What eats at the mining capital of Isilmerald? We hope you’re ready to face the desperation festering in the rebel city of Deron-Guld.

In the meantime, stay warm and stay out of abandoned mines. Have a joyous Böoreste!

Ahhh yes. First a clearly vapo-shovelware 'holy shit someone actually named their product Black Geyser" "holy shit someone literally copypasted Pillars of Eternity UI entirely" "holy shit Dwarf CRUSHMASTER" - and now, over time, a significant minority of Codexers desperately convince themselves that perhaps this will be a REAL RPG can't be worse than pillows haha amirite

Just like that other wonderful game skeptics were skeptical about what was it sword coast something? Ah yes great times worked out real well there

These guys literally doesn't seem to have anything decent to show. People want to up their pledge to play the demo? Lol

Pretty hard to believe a demo of an area will be available in 3 months when they clearly don’t even have a map ready to show of the area.

It’s hard to place scripts and play test an area without a map.

I’m sure this geyser will cover itself with glory.

You need to be under the effects of very strong drugs to convince yourself that this game will be even remotely playable.

This game will be the ELEX of RTwP games.

Don't insult ELEX man, it's in a class of its own.

Gayser is just a long running meme until proven otherwise. And I don't expect it to pull a Grimoire. Plus, RTwP means it will have to be good in non-mechanical ways to stand up to :obviously: scrutiny.
