I got Java all updated, been running it multiple times, but it doesn't seem to want to run at all,

Oh no! Thats a pain!

Could you run it from the command line (Shift + right click, Open Command Window here, java -jar ASkinOfOtherxxx.jar). That should display any errors thats making it crash on startup.

Thank you for the fast response! I'm actually very excited to play this game as I'm starting a highlights of itch.io and the screenshots have my eye (of course I'd make note that its, as with many other games, in development)

I posted the results on imgur, https://imgur.com/qBWYcpW I hope its not me.

So it looks like you are running it on a graphics card that doesn't support OpenGL 2.0+. There's two possible solutions:

Firstly update your graphics drivers. This may in some rare cases fix it.

Second solution is to attempt to force the game to use software rendering. I've uploaded a new build called ASkinOfOther-SoftwareRenderingTest that does this, could you download it and tell me how it is? I cannot test software rendering as I have no devices without shader support.

Hope it works!

Here is the results through running it through cmd, https://imgur.com/FaJKP1y

Sadly the game needs OpenGL 2.0 at a minimum, your machine only has 1.1, so it won't work. Sorry about that!

Ah darn, looks like I'll have to use a friends computer, I'll be sure to give it at least a spin.
