someone on YouTube commented on one of my videos and recommended this game. It looks really fun! but unfortunately I can't get the demo to start on Steam or from the itchio download. I don't know if you'd know what this error means?

Color management: using fallback mode for management

BLT_lang_init: 'locale' data path for translations not found, continuing

Hello!
A Happy Place takes a few minutes to start up for the first time, players usually speed up the process by retrying the startup multiple times or by waiting for a few minutes. The long initial wait time is due to the Blender Game Engine having problems with loading assets on launch. The warning message you included is also a BGE issue but does not prevent the game from opening or effect the game in any way.

Thanks for reaching out!

Thank you! I did eventually get the demo running, and I had a lot of fun! I'll definitely need to play the full game soon!
