Black Geyser - General Discussion / Re: Updates?

« Last post by ImprobablePause on May 01, 2019, 11:47:38 AM »

Hey tolkienfan1.

I just wanted to point out our most recent update if you haven't seen it (posted yesterday) and also reiterate from that update that we are going to have another update (with a gameplay video) coming out in a couple weeks. We're going to be making a serious effort to release updates with more frequency than we have been recently, along those same lines. I can't guarantee it will be every two weeks, but it will be more frequently than before.

You can see our most recent update here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/grapeocean/black-geyser-couriers-of-darkness/posts/2494699

I opened a Discord account to keep up with more frequent posts. I do wish you had enough staff to keep us regularly updated on this forum, but I understand having only so many free hands. Still, I'm glad I'm not the only one who is getting a bit nervous about the support we've given as backers. Many of us shared--up front--our desire for regular updates, no matter how small they seem, so we know progress is being made.

Maybe I'm spoiled, but I see people like Jeff Vogel posting all over the place about the most minor progress with his new game "Queen's Wish" that he funded through Kickstarter. "I made a monster today, and I tested it, and it kicked my butt!" (Okay, maybe not that minor, but you get the picture...) If this is supposed to be at a beta backer stage by spring (only what, 1-3 months away?), don't you have a more detailed trailer to share? I guess what I'm saying is: You need to market the heck out of this game!

Enough said. Hugs and love for all of you!

Ok, fair enough. Unfortunately I don't have a Discord account and no intention to get one, so I am stuck looking at this forum.

I get what you mean. I will say this: overall, the devs (me especially) tend to be more active on our Discord. So if any info comes out or you have any questions you would like to see answered quickly, that's where to go for the quickest information. Forums are updated as well with new things when possible, but the kind of casual mini-updates you're talking about are much more likely to happen (and have happened) on Discord.

Ok, thanks!

And just FYI, when I say "update" I don't necessarily mean a KS update. I'm just looking for something, anything, here in the forums. Just short posts about game systems or other little bits and pieces of info being posted here by the devs would go a long way.

While we understand your concern and want to keep you as informed as possible, it has only been about a month and a half since our last update. We'll be releasing another one soon.

Haven't had any updates or information in several months. Getting a little concerned about the project.

Not as of yet. We should have some news on that near the start of Spring.

Hey zdsdead. At the moment, we are not planning on including rewards involving design elements in the backer beta; these will instead be included in the full release of the game. Not to worry though, we certainly haven't forgotten! We'll be letting backers know more about these rewards as development proceeds.
