GrapeOcean Technologies celebrates this holiday season with a quick message to their backers and a new early access patch for Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness. So, without further ado, here are the patch notes and some Black Geyser lore:
Ho there, adventurers!
The Festival of Böor has begun! Every year, the nation of Isilmerald celebrates Böoreste, the Night of the god of Cold. Men and women prepare for the heart of winter with warm blankets and strong drinks. Bundles of sticks are collected by children, to be burnt as offerings to Böor to protect them from the cold. People build massive effigies for Böor, and burn them at the stroke of midnight on Böoreste to ensure the god's favor in the upcoming months.
While Isilmerald is busy with preparations, we added a bug report hotkey (Alt+B) that doesn't require you to leave the game any more when reporting bugs, and implemented several other improvements and fixes as well. This new update was was published yesterday on Steam and GOG. You can read the complete changelist below:We wish you a warm and joyous Böoreste!
