I know Bedrock is where the player-base is at, but would it be too hard to add these games to both versions? This looks really cool, and disregarding the Christmas updates which have been reverted, Java hasn't had an update since November 26th. Said update was a featured game, essentially just the temporary re-addition of previously existing content.
Tower Defence has an extremely loyal - and very patient - fan-base that has been begging for a better tower placement system for over two-and-a-half years. FFA still has a serious toxicity issue, mediocre maps and kit imbalances. MinerWare still has bugs that have gone unfixed since long before The Big
Disappointment Change. We want to actually be heard instead of just "listened to", or at the very least we want the illusion that Java isn't being canned because it cannot sustain itself anymore.
Please tell me there is good news around the corner for Java Edition. Even a Quality of Life update for the aforementioned games would have instant satisfaction, and would demand far less resources than producing an entirely new game. The point of The Big Change was supposedly meant to emphasise the games which are actually being played. Other than using nostalgia for removed games as an excuse for "updates", we haven't seen anything positive come out of The Big Change yet. The games that weren't canned are all games that had player-bases in the first place. You have stripped the server down to only a few core games; could you please refine them? I think
@Riles put it well enough:
You're not even adding anything new to Java, and if there is something 'new' it's basically just a featured game
