The Magical Artbook Project & Other News

Ho there, adventurers!

Our Kickstarter campaign for theTales of the Moon Cult expansion pack ended successfully. Thank you very much to all those who supported it! Those who missed it can still back the project via PayPal on our Backer Portal

Moreover, we just checked our old stock and we still have a couple of copies of the beautiful standard box for only $43 + shipping (with handbook/lorebook, base game and expansion pack included) available on our Store Page.

Magical Artbook - A New Project

We've also got some questions in our inbox, asking whether a dedicated, standalone Black Geyser artbook in full color will be available. Since Black Geyser has beautiful art, that's actually a great idea, but such a hardcover book has a high total cost, so if the demand isn't high enough, such a project wouldn't be successful. Therefore, we decided to open a survey where you can indicate your interest in such a standalone artbook.

This is not the artbook included in the collector's and boxed editions of the game, but a bigger, brand-new ongoing project. It would feature full-color concept art, constructs, locations, monsters and portraits from Isilmerald and the world of Yerengal. 

Thank you again to all those who has been on this journey with us! If you haven't visited our camp yet, be sure to stop by our Discord and chat by the fire!

Less than 20 hours to go - Black Geyser Expansion Pack
5 months ago – Wed, Nov 08, 2023 at 04:48:36 PM

Ho there, adventurers!

It's less than 20 hours to go for Tales of the Moon Cult Expansion Pack kickstarter and only $1200 is missing for the current goal!

Spirit NPC Designer addons - they don't require you to pledge for the Expansion Pack

If you haven't pledged yet because you already have the DLC from 2018, we have good news: you can join the campaign for only $5.35 (or 5€), this is the Supporter reward tier that makes all digital add-ons selectable for you. Here are a couple of options for you to consider:

  • For an amazing price of $7.50 (or 7€), we have a Design Your Own Spirit NPC add-on that allows you to design a custom NPC to be included in game. If you prefer, you can start designing the NPC an online website immediately after pledging. Also, your name will be added to GAME CREDITS as well! 
  • Holidays are coming - surprise your friends with a Lorebook PDF for 7€ (monster manual sample below!!!) or with digital wallpapers for 3€ only!
  • Talking about holidays, we have a 220€ Collector's Edition Box Add-on that you can gift to your friends! This is the last time in history you can get a collector's edition from Black Geyser. It won't be manufactured again.

The Collector's Edition Box holds the hardcover Tales of Isilmerald book, a cloth map of Isilmerald, a T-Shirt, mousepad and three keychains of your choice

This update is addressed to the backers of the original Kickstarter campaign - we know many of you already joined the campaign of Tales of the Moon Cult (thank you so much!!), but not everyone. Those who haven't joined it aren't receiving updates from the new Kickstarter page, hence this post.

Let's keep the genre of classic-style cRPGs alive together!

Tales of the Moon Cult - Expansion Pack Funded
6 months ago – Tue, Oct 24, 2023 at 02:19:58 PM

Greetings, adventurers!

The Kickstarter campaign for the Black Geyser expansion pack, Tales of the Moon Cult launched last week and has already reached its base funding goal. Many thanks to all backers for their contribution - you are amazing! By the way, a more easily reachable, new stretch goal was also inserted at €25k:

This means that Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness will get a major DLC as well as a free fixpack next year. The fixpack will be delivered to all owners of the base game as a Steam/GOG update (patch), so there will be no need to own the Tales of The Moon Cult DLC to get it.

Key features of Tales of the Moon Cult will include:

  • Major questline focusing on the Cult of Zoria and their answer to the corruption of greed affecting the world
  • Indoor, outdoor and underground areas with new side quests and riddles
  • Brand-new spells and magical items

Should you have any questions or comments, you can share them here on Kickstarter, on our forums and social media, or directly on our Discord channels.

Kickstarter Coming Soon For Expansion Pack
7 months ago – Tue, Sep 12, 2023 at 07:55:46 AM

Greetings, adventurers!

We are happy to announce that 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 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 you're an existing backer already having the DLC add-on, you will be offered another cool reward in the DLC Kickstarter (for any pledges that normally give the DLC), so we've got covered here. Of course, you can still choose to get a second copy of the DLC instead, if you prefer.

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. 

A teleport spell would be handy now...

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.
