Hello Mark,

I can't seem to finish Brain Hotel Remodeled. . .  It appears either the game logic has changed a bit from the original, or my gameplay is bugged.

[spoiler below]

I can't seem to find the Canadian coin to give to the elevator operator.  It doesn't seem to be available in the fountain, or at least I cannot find it.  Strangely enough, I can grab a second helping of pennies after solving the puzzle that uses the first helping

[end spoiler]

I do have a save game here:  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Uq5rE5ffhipb6NefEu70vQ8l5OtTmeL_?usp=sha....  I bet I'm just missing something obvious that will make me feel foolish once you tell me what that something is.

I am enjoying this new version of the game, and supported the kickstarter.  Thanks for making it.

Hello Lual Games,

Kickstarter backer here . . .  Thank you for releasing the game here on Itch in addition to that other game store.

I'm writing to let you know that I did have trouble getting the game started initially, but did figure out a "solution" that worked for me.  It might help others as well, but I leave that to you to decide.

My initial problem was that the "loading" screen stayed on "forever".  This is the screen that I mean (on my Google Drive):  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xGLBt1Fo8PxyuDUj9ijFQRIRxjZ6eIIQ/view?usp=shari...

That screen keeps moving (the bar moving from left to right) and the last line on that screen keeps changing, but the game never finishes loading, and very soon, the last line repeats the same statements over and over.  I left this screen "loading" for over 10 minutes before deciding that it was never going to finish loading.

The issue was that I installed the game by unzipping the game downloaded from here on Itch to a very embedded folder on my HDD.  The folder I installed the game to had a total of about 77 characters and was embedded to four subfolder levels like this:

F:\New Stuff 2022-10-05\Kickstarter\I Doesnt Exist\i-doesnt exist-win-release\

I solved the issue by copying the contents of the last above subfolder and all the lower subfolders to a shorter path like this:

F:\New Stuff 2022-10-05\Games\i-doesnt-exist-win-release\

(about 57 characters and only three subfolder levels)

Then when I ran the game, the loading screen as shown above displayed on screen for less than a second and the game immediately started.

So if any gamers are having trouble getting the game to "finish loading", the issue may be that the folder the game is installed into may be too long or have too many subfolders?

I hope this helps you troubleshoot with any gamers having this issue.

Thanks

yes, that was it (as you well know).  I see I missed a bunch of content as the full game starts, so I'm glad I asked.  Thank you very much for your very prompt response.

Hello Golden Coin games,

I'm having a small problem when starting the (full) game.  I can't seem to get past the old style telephone screen when I select "new game".  How do I get past that screen, no keyboard input, nor controller input allow me to proceed past that screen when I select "new game".  But if I force close the game and then restart it and select "continue game", I can proceed with both characters at the reactor, which I assume is the beginning of the game.

Choosing "new game" always takes me to the telephone screen and the game seems to be soft-locked there.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
