Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness Update #37 – Backer Beta is Ready

GrapeOcean Technologies’ isometric party-based RPG Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness is just about ready to launch into beta. According to the game’s latest Kickstarter update, the beta is ready, and the big question now is getting it to the eligible backers.

At some point, the beta should be coming to Steam and GOG, but for now the developers are going for a more direct approach. Here’s more on that:

Greetings, adventurers!

The Backer Beta has been ready for several days, and it’s bigger than we initially planned!

Having said that, as with every beta, it contains bugs – some of which we don’t know about and you will hopefully help us to find. Also, it lacks several features, refinements and performance optimizations that didn’t make it to the beta but will be present in the final game.

Getting the Beta on Steam and GOG store pages takes much longer than the official information we received about it before. Therefore, we decided today that we will be shipping the Backer Beta directly to the eligible backers (those of you who pledged at the Early Access reward tier and above, or chose the Backer Beta add-on).

Regarding Steam and GOG, everything seems to be on the right track, so the Beta will eventually be available on GOG and Steam as well (depending on whether you have specified a GOG or a Steam key in BackerKit). In the meantime, however, we will ship the Backer Beta as a direct download.

This process will begin on the 3rd of July at the latest and will take a couple of days. We will notify every backer whose reward tier included the Backer Beta via email with instructions on how to receive the installer. If you don’t receive such an email until 6th July, please send us a message on Kickstarter or via our contact forms.

Finally, a few teaser screenshots from the Beta[…]
