The art is real charming too. \n\nI'm a real sucker for card-games, and the RTS part kind of works like an engine-builder, which is also my jam.\n\nI do think the initial ramp up takes a bit longer than it should, but I can imagine trying to balance early game to late game income generation is a balancing nightmare, so completely understandable.\n\nAwesome work!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"jharler","author_uid":"1001548","time":"2018-04-23T18:31:20Z","epoch":1524508280,"modified":1524508280,"text":"I wasn't able to run this.

I really enjoy RTS games and card-games so this was right up my allay. I did have issues right away, the enemy spawned a sinister hedgehog which instant killed all my low level defense. Nice game, really enjoyed it!

More really is unnecessary (30 would also work for this game) and just makes my laptop fly away :p if you just put a Thread.sleep in there somewhere it should already improve the situation.\n- Tutorial with pictures is really necessary for people who never play card games\/rts's. or maybe putting a quick key\/scene description in the pause screen? after I thought really hard for a minute I got it tho hehe\n- good stab at making your own music. got a bit annoying after a while unfortunately\n- my nervous newt was attacking and empty spot and then the game froze. I was clicking a lot, maybe that was it?\n- again when a corrupted blue slime jay attacked me and I switched to the card game screen I saw it was charging but then I also noticed that the game froze. I was just beginning to understand the mechanics :( It still responds to the close button so it seems like your event loop is still working...? I'm on ubuntu, maybe that matters\n- Tried one more time. When it freezes nothing prints to the terminal either. what does happen is that first the sound stops. then I can still do stuff in the top-down screen, but as soon as I switch to the card game it freezes. dunno if that helps\n\nSome thoughts on the game: At first it seemed really confusing but as I started to understand the game I liked it more. I think it's interesting how the only feedback from the card game was the sound which meant you had to keep close track of managing both situations which was a nice combination. the art was really simple but fit the game and as a whole it was pretty coherent. unfortunately I didn't get to play it very long each time because it froze within a minute or so (which is sad because I actually enjoyed the combination a lot!) maybe next time try to make it a bit more robust technical wise and you'll have a really solid game!\n","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Connor McGrory","author_uid":"1013660","time":"2018-04-23T19:07:22Z","epoch":1524510442,"modified":1524510442,"text":"Thanks for the comments so far guys, I think my program might have a slight memory issue so I uploaded a batch file that runs the game so long as it is in the same directory as the jar file.
