Trying to launch the .jar via java -jar desktop-1.0.jar results in:
,,,\AppData\Roaming\itch\apps\mewnbase\game>java -jar desktop-1.0.jar
MewnBase launch args:
[MewnBase] MoonBase.coreFolder = data/
com.badlogic.gdx.utils.GdxRuntimeException: Can't find the data folder here:data/

so I copied the data folder intpp the game folder and tried again, still cant launch via the .exe but it does open by launching the jar directly
*edit: of course, I could have avoided copying the data driectoroy if I'd run java -r game/desktop-1.0.jar from the apps/mewndata folder instead of running it from inside game/
*edit 2: See below, he clarified this rambling nonsense ;)
