Continuing the discussion from jMonkeyEngine Example Game :
I have started working on a example game for all jME3 users.
The purpose of the game is to show someone new to the engine what is possible and how to make a cross platform game.
The game is going to be a similar game as the old PC game called Rats: Youtube video of Rats
The game will show in detail the steps taken to make something like this.
Some progress has been made over the last couple of days and I have a video for all to see:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-YaoIDcGKM
We have finally released a public Demo of the upcoming jME Example Multi platform game called Skulls.Skulls - Linux Skulls - MacOSX Skulls - Windows
The game is very easy to pick up and play. You can finish a round in 2 minutes if you’re quick.
Any and all feedback on balance, appearance, powers etc. is very welcome.
The game comes with a very straight forward level editor. If someone actually takes the time to create a level, there’s a good chance it will be included in the game. Just ping me.

Unfortunately it crashes right away when I launch it on my mac.
Hard to say what’s the problem as even with the java console activated it doesn’t show up.
Wups. I’m on Mac too and I’ve tested the game regularly so I strongly suspect it’s a trivial mistake in the build process that we’ve run into from time to time.
It must be Yosemite, then

I’m not on Yosemite, still on maverick…I can’t be bothered to update
Well @erlend_sh , I don’t think this is related to that other problem we use to have.
I really need someone else to also test this, please?
Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit - works great with NVIDIA and Intel GPUs.
@nehon : have you tried running from the command line?

Works great on my Macbook Pro Retina with an Intel Iris GPU.
This is very interesting.@nehon is having.
Win 7 64bit
Works great, maybe from a UX perspective it’s a bit difficult and there’s no tutorial… but I guess that’s for a later version
However as a rule of thumb I make “test builds” like these as jar for better diagnosing of problems.

Yes, and still no log.
I’m using java 8 though… but I’ve run several other JME app with no issue… even some made with java 7…
Win 7 32bit
Everything ok!

Great stuff, would be interesting if the explosive barrels would tear down the walls as they explode

Cool, works fine for me on OSX / InteHD5000 / Yosemite 10.10.3.
Had to install a Java8 JRE though, otherwise the game would crash on start (looks like the app stub is not very smart about not finding a JRE
Well… Yosemite is working as intended in this, meaning that the “Oracle JVM” is obsoleting the “Apple JVM”.
@ndebruyn why did you replace the old skulls/zombie/etc models?

Yeah but crashing instead of just bailing or displaying a small message “please install JRE” isn’t very smart either way.
works fine and make fun on
