What made Tower Defense a good game?

[clear sandal]

I heard that many people were upset with Cubecraft removing the TD gamemode. I asked myself why people liked it so much - I am just curious 👀 I never played it that much, only a few rounds and was wondering what was so unique about it, maybe it is worth it bringing it back?

They liked it because it was a first for Minecraft (a tower defence game like this). Obviously it was based on another tower defence game but to have it on Minecraft and to be able to play and strategise with friends was what was most appealing about the game.

The game had been around since The Chunk merged with Cubecraft and so the community had been around a very long time and was very developed. Everyone knew eachother and everyone was trying to create and develop the best strategies for the game.

Most of the people who played Tower Defence on Java only played Tower Defence, and didn't play the other games that Cubecraft offered as they didn't interest them. Therefor, the slightly lower playercount on Tower Defence compared to Eggwars for example is slightly misleading as to what was the actual popularity of the game was.

Preach

Fully agree with that

Are they gonna add it back in the future?

[kindred sail]

"idk"

literally

Just don't know

If it was added back in the future a lot of things would have to fall right

[subtle grail]

TD would probably only be added when the server gets a lot more Players

It had its community, but the player count was just poor towards the end

Probably will only be updated to a higher version if it's being added to Bedrock though

Oh, thank you for the explanation!

I was talking about it with a friend as well who played the game a lot and wondered what would happen if they bring it back. Is there no server or person who already did a remake of it?

[kindred sail]

Not that I know of 😕

Hmm... To be honest my friends and me thought about exactly this, creating a remake and making it playable while it is not playable. But since I wasn't quite sure if the "old" players will like that or cubecraft would do something against it - That's why I started asking 😅

And they also didn't puplish the maps or plugin or anything?

[kindred sail]

Nope

They won't publish any of their games/code as they would have to expose the main server code for it to work

According to them

Hm okay, thanks!

I mean plugins are understandable but maps could have been possible
