I think it's a simple case of missing 32-bit support for people running 32-bit Java. As far as I can see, you only ship support for 64-bit (lib folder) and in your code, you only have this line:
NativeLibrary.addSearchPath(RuntimeUtil.getLibVlcLibraryName(), "lib");

You need to ship support for both 32-bit and 64-bit Java and load the proper one at runtime. Look at this explanation from caprica (bottom answer):

Holy s**t,
Thanks man. We will check out the link.

I managed to solve the black screen by using the java uninstaller to remove the 32 bit version of java. this left only the 64 bit version on my computer. (I had downloaded and installed the 64 bit download from the java website so why the 32 bit was there at all is a mystery.)

Thank you very much. Btw, love ur game.




We tried to reproduce the error without success yet. We tried using different versions of vlc and even uninstalling it, the game.jar stills works. As GRasputin and other users mentioned earlier, the problem is most likely connected to Java and not VLC.
Wallksys whats your OS and Java Version?

However, we will keep trying to pinpoint the problem. The update with the eventual fix is planned for the first week of december.
Windows 10 64 bits
java version "1.8.0_271"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_271-b09)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.271-b09, mixed mode, sharing)

Windows resolution is set to 1920 x 1080 but I can't see the full screen.

Had to reinstall Java to get it to run in the first place, but now it runs but is just too out of focus.

The problem with black screen is due to the use of two monitors which resolutions are not the same. Just drag the java window from one screen to another and you will see the content. Be sure that whole window is on other screen. Afterwards you can drag the window back to starting screen.

It works for me, I hope it works for someone else.

Try to start the game like this:
java -Dsun.java2d.uiScale.enabled=false -jar game.jar

Run the command from the same folder as the game, either from a cmd window or put it in a .bat file.
If that works, you probably have your desktop set to bigger than 100% and run Java 9 or later.

Ah, so it was because I was running the windows at 150%. (I use a flatscreen smart TV as my monitor, thus I need the zoom)

I simply set the zoom to 100% and voila, it worked.

I don't know about that console code, I'm not very educated in how to run commands for Windows machines.

That said, onto the game...

So the UI is a bit clunky, but not the worse I've ever used.

Story plot hole, I slept in when there was a knocking at my door and ignored the kissing going on but when I came back from jail the mother was acting like I porked her. Huh?

The concept is going places, but the presentation could use some cleaning up. Sometimes it feels like I'm watching a popsicle puppet play with little pictures attached.

We really appreciate your help with the technical difficulties to start the game.

Thank you for the feedback. We totally agree with the points mentioned. The step-mom should only react that way if you made some other choices at the beginning. We will update that part, so she shouldnt react that way if you choose to sleep.

We are still looking for a good way to fill the events and scenes with more life. In the demo, we tried this by using differents approaches. We agree that some parts feel like a puppet play. For example when we tried to show a fist bump between Erik and Carlos.


Here are some snippets from the next update:

ss2_1.JPG ss2_2.JPG ss2_3.JPG

ss2_4.JPG

The demo was very linear and should show the general concept of the game and the features.
The update will give the player more activities and places to explore. In other words, the tutorial is over and the player can start their adventure. The further the story progresses, the harder the enemies will become. Farming and allocating Combat-TP will help Eric to defeat his enemies. We added two features to the smartwatch :

  • Skilltrees (Ferocity = focus on damage, Juggernaut = focus on defense/life, Witchcraft = focus on Technique)
  • Characterpanel (keeps track of all important stats)
Implementing the skilltrees took us longer than we expected, but these two features are finally done. We are already working on new scenes and events for the update. Our original goal was to release the update by the end of this week. Since we used many of our available resources for the Skilltrees, we are unfortunately off schedule. The goal still remains to release it this sunday, but only if it feels polished enough.

Only happy to help fellow Java devs if I can. Plus, it's in the interest of us all to make Java more popular among porn gamers.
How hard is to make a game in java?
I know c and c++ language but only when I'm applying it in engineering , never tried making a game.

Depends on how hard you want to make it I guess. If you use standard UI components it is not hard. If you already know C/C++ syntax, you should be fine.

No offense to dev but I'll visit the game in two years to see of there any content available like most game in here and TFgamesite.

No point of download this game, windows are can't resize (funny you assuming everybody had big ass curvy 500ghz gaming monitor), nothing happen, nothing to click..... Just nothing.

I already wait 2 days to download this game, now it just another folder in my cheap laptop. I'm too depressed to fap....

I tried this on Arch Linux.
With the command:
Code:
java -jar game.jar
while in the game directory.
It loads fine but the videos won't load.
I am guessing it is a relative path issue.

This is my java environment:
Code:
[wraith@CrownJelly ~]$ archlinux-java status
Available Java environments:
  java-11-openjdk
  java-14-openjdk (default)
  java-8-openjdk
[wraith@CrownJelly ~]$ 

[wraith@CrownJelly ~]$ printenv | grep -i awt
AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit
_JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1
_JAVA_OPTIONS=-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true -Dswing.crossplatformlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Djdk.gtk.version=3
[wraith@CrownJelly ~]$

Why in gods name would you put out a game at the insane resolution of 1800x1000 and not have a way to resize it.

way too naive, but contains plenty of media, of low quality but good selection
dialogue is naive, and text is hard to read being pixelated. Why use Java for a RenPy game??
