Developer GrapeOcean Technologies is back with a new update for isometric cRPG Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness. This latest fixpack introduces some long-awaited featured such as the dual-wielding, Steam Cloud support, fast travel, and more. The team is working hard on the DLC and other planned features as well.
“We will release at least one additional major update before the end of the year. This will include a very important editor (tool) to provide improved modding support for the game.
Since the game has translations in 11 (eleven) languages, localization of new texts is a bigger challenge than we previously believed. Therefore, we will have to postpone all text-heavy features of the Fixpack (such as companion-specific epilogues and expanded romances lines) to next year. As a result of this optimization, their release is expectable at the same time or somewhat earlier than the DLC.”
The contents of the fixpack include:
- Dual-wielding for warrior and outlaw classes
- Fast-travel to questgivers using the quest journal
- Item tooltips now show which classes can use the item
