Over 1000 views! YAY!
I am happy to see that people are interested in this game, even if they don’t want to leave comments.
Now read that senteance again but only the words in bold and put an exclamation mark on the end. 
hint, hint…
Sorry dude, it works ok. It would be nice if you could run it in a smaller window.
lol
THIS IS A COMMENT
happy?
Happy you responded. ;D
Neutral on the comment :-\
I can’t run. Using java 6 here.
Hi
Why not using applets, Java Web Start or any other installer (GetDown, IzPack, …)?
Such post does not encourage me to leave comments. I don’t create games to become famous. The fame is not an end in itself, it’s a mean, not an aim. I can understand that working on a project is much motivating when people look at your stuff but if you do it only to get people attention, you will probably fail. Sorry to derail a bit this thread but I think that the quest of fame out of nothing (easy, not deserved) and with no other aim that itself (useless) leads to nothing good, especially on Internet and I’m sure most of you wouldn’t be happy if you couldn’t get out without being recognized in the street.
Eh? How’s wanting comments on your work the same as wanting fame? 
On topic:
I can’t run it on my Mac. 
Regenuluz@Medusa ~ $ java -jar /Users/Regenuluz/Downloads/The\ Gift\ \(Curse\)\ of\ Evolution/The\ Gift\ \(Curse\)\ of\ Evolution.jar
JavaVM WARNING: JAWT_GetAWT must be called after loading a JVM

@OP
You don’t properly catch the exception and close the application if an exception occurred in Display.create(), as shown by the NullPointerException in Regenuluz’s first paste.

That’s a known issue with LWJGL: it doesn’t run on Java 7 on Macs. We have someone contracted to completely rewrite the Mac implementation in pure Cocoa, instead of relying on AWT.
We are hoping to release this in LWJGL version 2.8.5.
Firstly: It’s only Alpha, so installers are not a priority. Maybe later. And JWS/Applets? Junk.
Secondly: Yes, I do want fame, but that was not the purpose of that post. I wanted comments like this:
These give me ideas and features to implement.
This will be included soon.
And these:
Because if I know the problem, I can fix it (except in this special case as it is LWJGL/Your OS, not me that is causing it).
And finally, these:
Because they inform me of the real problem, and how it should be fixed (or in this case, what people are going to do about it)
Nasty Bug by the way, I have 2+ friends that can’t play because of this)
I got into programming because I WANTED TO. I saw games and thought “Hey, they should have this! I wish I could add it in for them”. So I modded Minecraft. But that got annoying with updates and dependencies. So I found this place, expanded in the java I learnt from modding, and now I have a game.
Anyway, I only want fame so people play my game(s), not so I am famous.
Oh, and:
I use Java 7, I forgot why though…
Sorry, but putting it back to Java 6 delays me from adding content.
Wow, my biggest post ever!
If you really want more people (especially non technical ones) to give it a try, you will have to ease the installation. What is wrong with Java Web Start and applets? They are easy to use, they are nice for projects with very frequent updates.
Due to Demand, This Week:
I GIVE YOU A PATCHER/LAUNCHER
Now you can download/launch with just 1 click (per action).
Check out the blog for the changelog.
Have fun!
Oh, I am on holiday for 4 weeks, so no updates for a while…
I have decided to quit development on this game.
Roguelikes are just not my style.
And anyway, to make this game fun, I need to add lots of content each week. But with my limited time, that is not possible.
So, I will work on a new game where I do a tiny small amount of work, and the players make it fun.
CAN A MOD/ADMIN PLEASE MOVE THIS TO SHOWCASE!!!
Mkay.
THANK YOU
