Java Two featured games active at a time

[Powerofbeds]

I'm sure many of you know that a lot of people like some featured games and don't like others. You may be one of those people yourself. I'm one of those people and I'd consider myself abnormal. I like the unpopular games like slime survival (I've played about 3k games of it), wing rush, line dash, and paintball. These are the most unpopular games, but this is not what I am talking about. What I'm talking about is, because of many people liking some games and not others, I recommend having two featured games active at a time. Maybe not all of them permanently, because people would all go into their favorite games and we'd not have very many people playing each game, plus that would cost the owner of cubecraft a lot of money they don't need to spend. However, the featured games I like are only active about 30% of the time, and I very rarely play them unless it's slime survival or wing rush. If we had two featured games active at a time, players would have their favorite featured games available double as often.

Also, some people (like me) almost never play anything on cubecraft except featured games. I, as my unusual self, do not play games like eggwars, skywars, tower defense, or lucky islands except in rare events. I only ever play featured games - the ones I like!

yeah but like you said people will just join to their favorite game, and gonna make the other game unable to start due to the players
but cubecraft is getting more players these weeks, so

I don't really have a problem with the current system but it would be nicer to have more choose ye. I don't really like any of the games except quakecraft, layer spleef, line dash and wing rush.
If the games were to be split it should be in two, one with arcade and one with games like Blockwars.
They could also add 2-3 new games like Battle Zone and Bingo for the non-arcade games.
Parkour Minigame, Super Craft Bros, Hide and Seek or something.
Not too much so it won't take ages but then people have and more games to enjoy and it'll still take less time.

i already sugested something similar
separate the featured games and arcade games

 

[CraftCreatures]

I like this idea, but I am not sure how long it can take for the game to start, since there aren’t that many players online.

I think that with the increased player count recently, this could definitely work.The server definitely has been growing and I reckon it could support this well, and it would be quite nice for those who dont enjoy some games. Personally I agree with what's said above with splitting up arcade and blockwars, and while I would like to add new games like bingo and battlezone, apparently they weren't introduced due to issues with compatibility rather than just that they didn't want to.

that can work too

 

[Froq]

Not sure because people play their favourite games all the time.

This has already mentioned in the suggestion to add an arcade featured game npc and a pvp one ;).

 

[Jevmen]

ho want all the games at the same time?
the 70 will be out of players

I kinda had an idea like this, one game is generated by the randomizer while the other game is voted by players using the vote for featured game thread that is coming out soon.

I think it's a great idea to split up the featured games into two sections. Non-arcade and Arcade games.
Since the player count has indeed increased, and still is, it may be more likely for multiple games to be filled equally as quick as they normally would.

They could also add 2-3 new games like Battle Zone and Bingo for the non-arcade games.
Parkour Minigame, Super Craft Bros, Hide and Seek or something.

I would personally love to see the old games added again, such as the Parkour Minigame, Hour Glass, Bingo, et cetra. And if they were to add Battle Zone again, changing the player count from 100, to 20 or something like that would probably be better. That way, the game will fill up quicker and no one will have to wait about half an hour to start a game.
I know some of these gamemodes were bugged. However, problems can be solved in one way or another. Some fresh changes to some of the old gamemodes probably wouldn't do much harm. And it will give the games fresh additions. I'd most likely personally really enjoy these games.

So I agree to what is also stated above by others, having two split sections for non-arcade and arcade would, in my opinion, be a good option.

As long as they don't do the same as they did with Quakrcraft, aka adding two modes that conpletely change the game.
The only mode that would be fun for Parkour Minigame is (except ofc classic mode) Infinty mode where you just have to get as many points as possible in an x amount of minutes.

for the parkour minigame, they can better add it back to parkour and not make a whole new featured game of it if they really want it back.

While the player count has increased we would probably only consider having 2 'featured' slots active when one of those slots were one of our seasonal games, or potentially if we managed to bring one of the games not currently in the featured games pool into it. We continue to monitor the popularity of all of our featured games and when appropriate will look at viability of them as standalone games (interestingly the game the OP thought was unpopular, Slime Survival, is one of the most popular featured games).

Interesting. I have been looking at the featured game votes from a while back, seeing slime survival with only one or two votes. Though, now that I think about it, slime survival has recently been getting a lot of votes. (One of them is always me!)

 

[Trixfut]

Good idea, but there still wouldnt be a big population bc they still choose the popular games
