Agreed, it was a total waste of time.  But it was fun
It's also general enough that I can use it for any future games and/or share it with others using libGDX.

I use libGDX to simplify the rendering pipeline to OpenGL.  But the FWT GUI framework I wrote myself as a fun side-project. It's modeled off Swing, but since its built on libGDX it renders through OpenGL.  I liked what libGDX could do for UI's but I wanted a solution that was on a divergent thread.  As a result, my FWT framework is very responsive and "snappy".  It's still missing some bells and whistles, but I hope to add to it as I need components for Fief.

Sorry you're having trouble with it.  Thankfully most of that code has been overhauled for the next version and should alleviate any problems that persisted from before.

Unfortunately, there's not too much to do yet.  We're still in the alpha stage and are concentrating on the behind-the-scenes engines and structure.

Early Dev / Fief: the Medieval Manor Simulation (WIP)

Hey everyone,

   For the past 5 years, I've been working on a game titled Fief: the Medieval Manor Simulation.  The game starts as a survival rogue-like.  You are a simple peasant given a fief under some unknown circumstances.  However, you find the land is nothing more than a tangle of wild country, awaiting a strong-willed individual to turn it into a thriving manor.

The game currently in in alpha development and in the middle of a huge overhaul.  The latest version of the game and more information about it, can be found on our website:  www.arboreantears.com

The unique focus of Fief is the concurrent tiers of gameplay.  From Survival to Village building, to City building and expansion, to eventually ruling a kingdom.

We are ramping up development and are interested in feedback and general thoughts on features.

Cheers
