SuperTux
Unfortunately, the three people who programmed the vast majority of modern SuperTuxKart and managed the community were bullied out of the project a couple years ago. [1]
The new team lead was somebody who seemed to have a habit of stonewalling [2] ideas and code contributions from both community members and the dev team, talking down about "newbie-tier players" with "zero skill", and [3] hyperfixating on "balance" (in what is fundamentally a kids' game) without room for fun or discussion. The lead artist, who made basically all the tracks that are worth looking at, and whom I'd worked with now and then to get a couple contributions included, eventually disappeared too.
Naturally, commits, contributors, and blog posts/updates are now at an all-time low. [4]

I can't think about another video game using Java. I mean, there WILL be more but i haven't saw them.
It is a thing, Google is advocating for it, and many also use SDL - for example, or this.

Does owning a Steam Deck make you play more games?
No problem! For starters, you'll want to compile and run the game. Are you using Windows, macOS, or Linux on your main PC? Instructions can be found at https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-code/blob/master/INSTALL.md but I;d be happy to walk you through the process if it makes it easier :)

Open Source Rewrite of Civilization 1 Source Code – OpenCiv1 Project
Cesar 3 was also rewritten (https://github.com/bvschaik/julius), and besides the marvelous work from the author that has allowed fans of the original to experience it on modern platforms and further preserve it, it has also invigorated the community and spawned other efforts to further enhance the game.
It’s a shame that many companies do not agree with such an approach for dormant or abandonware properties.
- Still have an issue with the sound loop in Caeser III

Which game introduced you to the series? Do you find it easy to transition into the other games besides the one you started with?
Picked it up on GoG a while back and had a great time with it. Keep thinking about it every so often despite not finding the time to play through it again. Last year I decided to teach myself a specific game engine by replicating the game. I am not a game developer so I was in over my head and I stopped but I revisited the project earlier this month and managed to get basic map rendering working with the original tiles. The julius project together with citybuilding-tools and ZeusMapper were a great help to learn how to read the original asset files. I see all the Caesar 3 maps on this subreddit and would love to at least be able to generate those for Zeus + Poseidon one day even if I never get any actual game logic working. However just trying to figure out the logic for how cliff and rock formations are rendered is enough to make me think that will never happen. What I wouldn't give for a peek at the original source code.

For those who are waiting on this new bronze age title like me, please enjoy these game recommendations. Can't wait for an "Immortal Empire" Bronze age map.
Caesar III was recently reverse engineered, and is now receiving updates (project Julius on github) and new features (project Augustus on github).

How to run Caesar III on Steam Deck?
I just got my Steam Deck and one of the first things I'd like to try is to play the old city-building Caesar III. I searched a bit and it seems that the only way to run it is through https://github.com/bvschaik/julius/releases/tag/v1.7.0 installation. Can you please explain how to do it?

Some time ago I saw Caesar 3 on this sub, decided to play it for the first time, got addicted, now I just finished the main campaign, such a great city-builder! Is there any modern successor?
there is an open source copy of this game called Julius that fixes some aspect ratio issues of this game and is free to download (you need to have bought a legal copy of the game for it to work though). they also made a version called Augustus that adds a bunch of new things, like the monument system from later games ins the series. https://github.com/bvschaik/julius
- It's because of this game that I became addicted to city building and strategy games. It still holds up today.
