The Pirate Invasion is out!

[brell]

aquaMat, thanks for the info. I think I'll wait until I get more complaints about the signs. I never encountered these problems and neither did my testers.

I'm sure you'll find your way back

Hi Brell,

YAY for the release of TPI! Congratulations!

Now, the bad news: I'm stuck in 31494 (and the

secret

room) with no apparent way out. I can't go back the way I came in, nor are there any other apparent exits. Help?

Hi ryos !

It is good that there are new mansions. So we have something to talk about. ;D

About the room you showed. Through a peepinghole I see a brown knob of ... With that good news you will be able to go back to the right!

[brell]

Actuall there are more than one exit in this room :

I really liked Psycotronic's cabin. Nice! This ship is genuinely huge...I still have far to go before I reach the end.

Hehe this rot thing is nice. I don't why this is happening but it looks similar to the problem aquaMat had in another spot in the mansion.
As for the other problem, read and respect the signs.

EDIT:  Has anyone else encountered problem reading signs?

Yes, in room 30698!

Jack also fell between to rooms going from 31494 to 31493! I think he was jumping and landed in a slit or something.

Wow, brell....

...this ship is hoge !!!

I keep losing my way. Especially after I had to

finish

the game (okay, I got killed  8-) ), when I resumed it from an earlier save pedestal (say save 3 of 5 I had already made), I usually ended up at an entirely different save pedestal (as save 4) than before.....

And I still haven't figured out how to get back to the upper decks from the lower levels. Up there are enough doors I haven't yet opened.

An amazing thing, brell. Now I know why it took so long to beta-test.....and it must have driven you crazy while building it, I s'ppose.

I don't understand these problems reading signs. And ending up on a different save pedestal surely beats me. As for the rooms you are talking about, Rose, the sign gives you a hint but how you head that hint is delicate. I will take a better look at that.

Hmm.... perhaps I should play through TPI myself, so far I've only played it in he editor.

brell:

I guess you must have misunderstood me.
With

ending up on a different save pedestal

I meant, when I resume playing from an earlier saveing point (say 3 of 5), my next saving point (No. 4) is not the same save pedestal (4) it was last time...as there are so many options where to go.

I didn't describe a bug or anything like that....just my ability to get lost in that huge ship.
