SUBJECT: Gamers Of All Ages
Hello Johnny and Joel, (and Tadpole)
Minecraft was first introduced to me by my kids. When creating our latest realm for 1.20 the realization of just how much this game transcends generations hit me. This really is a game that can appeal to a wide variety of ages, and game preferences. I find myself decorating houses with some of my younger girls, building farms, and red stone contraptions with my older son, and we all have a blast just exploring the world. This is the first time an old gamer like myself has found a game that all of my kids, and I can play while actually enjoying it.
I love seeing what their young creative minds build, so I end up spending most of my time gathering resources for them to build with, which suits me just fine. It gives me a reason to build cool things like super smelters, and froglight farms.
Do you guys have any thoughts or experiences playing with a younger crowd?
