KickStarter Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness - Tales of the Moon Cult expansion on the way

[Joyvankek]

So the game is a decent indie(Supposedly), and as a curiosity we have a thot that like gypsies and was banging one of the devs, shilling this game on codex.

 

[ArchAngel]

Seems this might become above average game once it releases its Ultimate Completed Enhanced Edition.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Yeah, a DLC that includes the things they promised during the base game - dual wield, strongholds, ice golems, etc.

More importantly the CRUSHMASTER

 

[Robber Baron]

I wish the game allowed you to change the portaits of your party members. Other than that - very good. Classic and clean

 

[Robber Baron]

THE vanilla high fantasy adventure since forever, like playing a game based on Salvatore's book you've never read(the good one, from the childhood)
spent several hours promting and inpainting my imagination with stable diffusion because inspiration demanded fanart
All while listening to Conan the Barbarian soundtrack

Bjalla in the grass field, Deron-Guld on the horizon

I wish I could inpaint my imagination with stable diffusion but I think I'm probably too old for that now.

Of course, it's a BG clone, not affected by Sawyerysm or other unnecessary bullshit.

Is there any reason to play this over the original BG? I haven't played the first one in many years (and never with Mods like SCS), so novelty isn't much of a factor. If this is just a budget-BG experience that doesn't do anything different or better, I'd rather not waste my time on it over taking another stab at Sarevok after so long.

Authentic herb crushing and drying experience.

It does many things in a completely different manner, it is more complex, more 'modern' (in terms of UI/QoL) experience.

But BG is simply a better game, even without my nostalgia glasses on. Graphics, sound/music, UI, narration and sense of a journey - it is all bit better with BG.

Still, I would recommend giving Butt Gey-ser a go, despite a stupid name it is a rare type of game, it would be new for you so you might like it more that original BG at the moment.

So I remember Black Geyser back from the days one of the devs was posting horrible ideas on the forum and we were all laughing at them and picking everything apart.

What happened? Did the game actually become good? Or even merely okay?

My baseline is "I liked BG1" for the measurement of "good/okay"

Also, are the very hilarious names, concepts and plot elements still in?

 

[covr]

What horrible ideas? It has crafting, crafting is almos always stupid idea in such type of game. It has silly greed mechanics, but you can't blame them for trying something new.
Some names are dumb, like in every other crpg (Jaheira? Jan?).

 

[Angthoron]

Negro please, the game is literally called Black Gay Sir. And the studio is gRape Ocean. And for a brief marvelous moment their barbarian class was called the Crushmaster. If you don't think this goes a bit beyond a funky spelling of Ian, I don't know what to tell you.

But at the end of the day, the game is basically a low-budget but not too terrible BG clone with some fresh ideas.

Yep, "crushmaster" etc is what I'm referring to here. It was amazing.

 

[Sotomonte]

Someone asked that question and this is what they answered:

Although in their previous answer you could totally understand the opposite

 

[Infinitron]

They hired an English-speaking writer and toned that stuff down.

It was even funnier than that, it was the dev's GF iirc.

 

[covr]

I was not aware of that, being late to the party has some pros I guess.
My point was, in terms of naming stuff, the game is now not much stupider than Baldurs Gate.

Paging GreenMagicSpell

Ex-gf, keep up, man.

 

[Roguey]

Ex-gf, keep up, man.

It seems to be on and off.

 

[Angthoron]

Oh, oops.

Is she hot?

 

[Feyd Rautha]

40% off! It's a steal.



e: BG1 is my favourite IE game so I should probably try Black Geyser.

 

[GreenMagicSpell]

looks like it is being review bombed :-(

 

[The_Mask]

looks like it is being review bombed :-(

Why?

 

[Roguey]

It's not being bombed, it's just that 8 of the last 16 reviews have been negative.

A woman, on codex?

Skeptical but warm welcome!


You got some serious balls (walls?) to hang out with us degenerates.

Are you uh... still involved with development? Was wondering if GrapeOcean has plans for what they're doing next.

 

[GreenMagicSpell]

Not involved... directly. Rumors here and there. About financial issues aswell

8 negative ones in a row. Saying the game graphics quality is not like Divinity. I mean, I wouldnt buy the game if I want Divinity quality level cause I can watch videos. People actually buy a game, play a game, and realize after X Hours that it is not like Divinitty and then leave a bad review for an indie that published multiply* times that they are in crap situation of Steam-Based Sales. Must be an utter ass hole

EDIT: found this single source. My personal source confirmed its still true :-(
