Black Geyser: IE Inspired Game Options

[Bill Bisco]

So one of the ads for Black Wyrm Lair led us to this site: http://www.blackgeyser.com/

It looks like Baronius is behind it via this site: https://sites.google.com/site/towerofbaronius/

At any rate, it's very cool to see another Baldur's Gate inspired game in the works. I hope this can be successful!

Black Geyser: IE Inspired Game

it's very cool to see another Baldur's Gate inspired game in the works

Agree , Especially a Project initiated from the roots of Baldur's Gate Modding Community!

I hope this can be successful!

Me too, ,
Best wishes for Success to Team in the Kickstarter Campaign!
I always like : the Black Geyser Logo, the Scale of the Sprites & Maps/Scenery Integration,
the GUI, the Narration/Songs/Harp theme/SFXs/in the Teaser, The Dialogue Three/Arborescence/Colors/Options Box, etc.,
I have a feeling of Simplicity & Efficiency/Game-Play, Game Design & Art Works looks Fun, Nice & Inventive,
Intrigued by the RP rules Background & Mechanism, waiting for VFXs/Spell Effects, & of course Battles Animations,
Looking for Black Geyser Game Engine Specification/Render/Applications/Improvements : like day & night cycle, climatic effects, etc., vs Infinity Engine Specifications ...
Anyway, I Want my Beta!

These 10 second ads are getting really annoying now.

[Baronius]

Do you get them repeatedly at the same place? I just checked the code that we got from the Black Geyser team, it seems to be OK.

It sets cookies per domain/subdomain (this is generic behavior of cookies). So, for example, if you visit the following:
www.blackwyrmlair.net
greyclan.blackwyrmlair.net
forums.blackwyrmlair.net

then you will get an ad for each. But if you visit www.blackwyrmlair.net and www.blackwyrmlair.net/Mods multiple times (or if you visit the forum any number of times), they will display the ad only at your first visit (because we are in the same domain/subdomain).

What are you experiencing?

[Bill Bisco]

I've gotten the ad 3 times on my phone and on my computer now. I don't know how it tracks the entry whether by login or IP or whatever.

I just tested again. Yeah, I guess people like me who use multiple browsers and multiple computers are going to see this ad a lot. I still hope for your game's success of course.

This occurs each day on the same computer. Is it normal? Don't you want to add "skip" button?

[Baronius]

Are you using anonymous mode maybe? Something that clears your cookies?

It shouldn't appear on the same subdomain more than once for a long time.

[Senka]

Are you using anonymous mode maybe?

No.
I'm not complain just... curious

[Bill Bisco]

This Black Geyser ad just caused the forum to eat one of my posts. Good thing that I have a habit to always copy before submitting.

Still, this is unacceptable. Also, this forum has a problem with being logged into multiple devices/locations, it would be much better if it did not. I am constantly logging back in.

[Baronius]

Sorry to hear that, Bill Bisco. So far, we haven't received such reports from anyone else (which doesn't mean I don't consider your report genuine and important).

(Long ago, we customized some parts of the forum, maybe that's the problem?)

Does anyone else experience the multiple-devices-logging-out issue?

Again, sorry for the inconveniences.

[Vlad]

I'm using Google Chrome on all my devices, no anonymous, just regular mode. I enter the forum page always through the nice ad screen waiting for 10 seconds.

The Black Geyser team launches their Kickstarter this month. They also published a video presenting game controls and gameplay:
