Downloading it right now. Will let you know of the results.
Well, unfortunately, it’s not playable for me. First I found a bug when I input my name. Every character is inputted twice. Then the game is utter slow, only giving 1fps for me, but on windows it plays at constant 60fps.
Any Ideas?
Very odd… Does it yield the same result when run via console?
I’m getting a solid 60 fps/tickrate on my macbook pro.
It ran at 17 fps from the console. First time, it showed this exception:

Second time, I ran it, but configured every option to LOW, and it ran at 17fps.

Sorry for the late reply! Been quite busy lately, and haven’t had a lot of time to work on my Java projects 
I talked to TheAgentD about the performance. Your card is one of the weakest cards that can run the rendering engine (even my laptop GPU is better). So as far as I know, there’s not much I can do at the moment.
3DO…
Now, that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.
I read something today that made me think of this game. It would be brilliant if you could combine this game with the Microsoft Hololens (I know, even the Dev Kit is not out yet). Then the army men could do their thing in your actual living room.
Great thing is… MS have integrated hololens with Minecraft, so there is definitely some kind of Java interface for it. Thanks Notch!
Now that would be something truly amazing to see.
That’s a shame, I guess you dont deal with retro games a lot.
Recently watched Once Upon Atari which had a segment explaining all of the 3DO history actually.
Peter Molyneux warns Microsoft against “over-promising” with Windows Holographic
Dont be a fool.
People in the VR business like Carmack and Abrash said augmented reality is way way way more complicated and farther away than VR.
It’s not coming anywhere soon. And once it does Microsoft will not pioneer it… The company that still has bluescreens and every product the release is buggy and unfinished to meet deadlines ? nah.
If anything google glasses will come along in the next 20 years
Really like the look of this. Downloaded it, but I couldn’t get it to run. I get an exception when at the loading map screen.

How much RAM does your machine have?
In the batch file included, try raising the max amount of RAM if possible.
batch file:
java -Xmx1G -Xms1G -jar Game.jar
1G is the amount of RAM. If 1 does not work for you, raise to 2.
Oh, I forgot to put the arguments before the -jar. Got it working.
