I don't think I found any problems launching your game as it was intended to be used. Did you use some jar exe wrapper?
Well, as far as the launcher goes, for a game I'm making myself I'll be using a launcher written in C++/Qt. The idea was that it will be user friendly as they can just double-click on the icon to run the thing; the launcher is then to hide its window, start the JVM process and game jar with whatever arguments are defined, wait until JVM finishes. The reason I'm doing it this way is because Qt is crossplatform, so I can easily recompile it for Windows/Linux/Mac.
For a linux version, having just a .tar.gz with an obvious launcher will be plenty. I think most linux users know what an archive is and how to extract it, and running the launcher themselves shouldn't be too hard. To be honest, I find extracting a .tar* to be much easier than installing an .rpm or God forbid .deb on an .rpm-based system, or the other way around.
I've not had any security warnings running your game btw. I understand the concerns you have in your post, and would encourage you to make Jiun download based instead of browser-based.

As jar wrapped I am using Launch4J and Inno Setup as installer.

Did you sign this? Have you tried to do download your launcher.exe in a web browser? Did you encounter any warnings?

Sure, I think so.

Thanks, I will go forward in that way.

I never sign anything I make. I'll have to check and get back to you about warnings. The thing about Qt is that it has a GPL license, so the launcher itself either has to dynamically link the Qt libraries, or have the same license if statically linking. Also, in the setup you have, it can replace the launcher4j wrapper, but will be cross-platform.
The source code of the launcher I made: https://bitbucket.org/xiannox/lilium/sr ... evelopment Not very advanced, documented or anything, I'll make you a Windows build a little bit later.
linux x64 build. Requires Qt4.8.4
windows build. Comes with Qt5.0.1 dynamically linked

Thanks I will have a look =)

Using a bow is similar to using melee weapons. Bows are dual-handed weapons, and are used with the left hand key (L by default). To shoot an arrow the character has to aim at the target and therefore remains stationary during the attack animation. Position yourself carefully, as you're open to both melee and ranged weapon fire.
There is no automatic attack in Jiun like in traditional MOBAs, so you have to be skilled and time your shots or face defeat. Quick reactions are also crucial to moving away from the path of incoming arrows. To save yourself from enemy volleys, consider carrying a shield: it provides both a 30% passive chance to block incoming arrow damage, and can be used to block them if timed well.

Stay tuned for the next video: the quickslots.

I would test on Android. Next Beta session is March 30th... hmm I suppose I might sign up.
