I played the previous game early last year, thinking that I would just check out this "neat free game that GOG is providing me" and maybe lose a couple hours with it. When I realized my weekend had disappeared.

I had so much fun that I'm more than okay with buying the remake full priced... in a few months because money is a bit tight right now. :-/

Wow! How nice of you. This is really appreciated. Even though I never played much of the the original and did not plan to buy this one I will now put in on my wishlist (and buy it asap) because I want to support you people.

Apparently it's here already (at a 20% discount):

Edit: and in traditional GOG fashion, if you have the contents from the pre-order it still isn't marked as owned.

Thanks for the update. Buying the DLC bundle now. :)

1 - No worries. Like I said, achievements are fun but nowhere near as important as the game.

2 - All other bombs displayed the button prompt to pick them up, it was only the very 1st bomb in the pyramid which didn't.

3 - Okay, created a new game to test & the Type 2 video player worked. What's the difference?

4 - I'm guessing it's a glitch in GOG's cloud-sync, but my save games were just duplicated. Instead of having 2 (1 I save, 1 autosave), I have 4. The duplicates weren't there when I played yesterday but are there today. I should also note cloud-syncing was failing on my system before today. No idea why.

Finally, I want to say thanks. I loved the original version of this game back when it was initially released on GOG 6 years ago. I even loved the retro-style 8-bit graphics. The graphics of this new version may not be ultra-realistic 3D CG, but it's beautiful. If I knew this game was being remade & there was some method to help (Kickstart or whatever), I would have. I didn't know about it until GOG put it up for pre-order, and I bought it the next day. The new version may be a copy of the original in many ways, but it's also different enough to force me to solve new puzzles & enjoy the game all over again. Sorta like watching the original Star Trek or the remake. Not exactly a sequal, not exactly a direct remake, but enjoyable all over again. :D

Oh, globbits! For the first 20 seconds of the trailer, I went, "Meh!" The graphics style not wasn't really my cup of *insert-your-favorite-liquid*, there were lots of material from the game's cut scenes, which often signals there's not enough gameplay to show, etc. And then I suddenly found out I was tapping my foot to the rhythm, liking the visuals, appreciating the monsters. By now I've seen the trailer about ten times and wishlisted the game. Great music, great editing. Hopefully, also a great game. The last time I found myself totally mesmerized by a trailer was when Technobabylon got launched, and I never regretted getting the Deluxe Edition. Keeping my fingers crossed for this being the same case.

#4 is growing worse. It went up to 6 saves yesterday and is now 8 saves. 4 duplicates of the autosave & 4 duplicates of my manual save. I even deleted all the duplicates yesterday in-game from the loading screen so I was down to 2, but I'm up to 8 now. Found the save folder, it appears the file creation times & names are all different, but the game shows them all as duplicates in the load screen. It appears to be a problem with how the savecfg_user.cfg is being handled.

Hmmm.... Deleted all but 2 of them (leaving 1 autosave & 1 manual save), but they aren't all duplicates. When I loaded the game, I found I lost progress. Thankfully not much, but I did.

Yes, only 1 .cfg file, but here's where it is even stranger... All the saves I deleted returned. Their file dates were even spread across the last few days despite the fact they were all recreated today. I assume your question was about how they display on the game loading screen? Because I can't tell in-game. All the duplicates show as identical duplicates on the loading screen. They are paired off in groups of 1 autosave & 1 manual save, but they all show the exact same info & time stamps. I only see the different time stamps when looking at the actual files in Windows Explorer. But the funnier part is they all loaded the same game. I loaded each separate autosave & they all were identical. Then I backed up the most recent files & deleted the others, relaunched the game and all the duplicates returned as soon as GOG finished cloud-syncing. Checked the saves at the game loading screen and they all showed identical info to my last save. CLosed the game, deleted all but the oldest auto & manual saves, relaunched, GOG cloud-synced but didn't restore all my saves. Checked the saves at the game loading screen & found they showed as brand-new, 0 everything. Tried to load & it threw out this error:

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 14, in <module>
TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'int' objects

Let me know if you want to look at it directly. Send me a message & I'll give you access.

Shouldn't be any permission issues. I can copy/delete the files without issue through Windows Explorer. The game obviously has write access to create the save files at all, and it has the ability to delete those saves when I tell it to on the loading screen.

As for further troubleshooting, I could easily disable GOG cloud-syncing which would probably solve the problem for me, but that wouldn't help anybody else who encounters this issue & wants cloud-syncing, so I'm perfectly happy to help you troubleshoot more. But Discord?? I hate Discord.... It's the worst-designed interface I ever saw in a chat program. If that's the only way you're willing to continue, my help ends here because I won't install that POS again. Almost any other method would be acceptable to me, though. Skype, TS3, GOG chat, TeamViewer, email, phone... lol

Emailed you 45 minutes ago. It didn't go into your junk folder, did it? XD

Haha, it was but on the server level. It never came through to my Outlook. Will continue there. :)
