MARVEL: GAME MAKER SYSTEM-Chapter 159: - Need for Speed?
Chapter 159: 159 - Need for Speed?
With Alex's reinvestment in the games, the amount of Players revisiting old games meant that the other games received a large influx of Players.
Both Minecraft fans returning to try the game and see the new updates, and Fortnite fans were very excited to explore the new areas, new mechanics and new weapons released in the game.
In Oasis, the Hub of it all, the number of real-life stores that opened branches there was increasing extremely quickly.
Stores that were previously a little worried about whether it would be worth opening a branch in a virtual world were now worrying about whether they would get a place to open a store in the Hub they wanted.
But one thing that made Alex surprised was the messages he received from Mojang branches around Oasis from car companies wanting to get in touch with Notch so they could sell their cars on Oasis too.
As a car fan, the first thing Alex thought was that the companies that contacted him were just Chinese companies that made copies of Western cars, but he was completely wrong, in fact, the difficult thing was to see a company that didn't had contacted him.
Ferrari, Lamborghini, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Chevy, Ford... the list of brands was gigantic, of course, in addition to these famous ones there were also the Chinese companies that he had mentioned previously, but these he just ignored.
Not because they were Chinese companies, since he intended to accept the agreement with Chery, which was a Chinese company, but which made cars with original designs, the only ones he would ignore would be those who just copied designs from other brands and sold them as if were theirs.
Hypocritical coming from someone who used Iron Man's armor without his authorization? Yes, no doubt.
Did Alex care about that? Not even a little.
Thinking about how he could partner with these companies, an idea came to his mind. 𝐟𝗿𝗲𝗲𝐰𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
'Didn't I release a Need For Speed ??teaser?' Alex thought as he remembered doing this at the launch of Oasis.
Curious, Alex looked for this on the Oasis Forum and saw that the number of people talking about it was very high!
Asking for a more detailed analysis of Oasis, Alex saw that the interested audience was 73% male aged 10 to 40, which wasn't that surprising.
"Which Need for Speed ??should I do? Underground 2? Nah, the game was impressive for being the first open world racing game at the time, but other than that, it was a very repetitive game... Most Wanted? The premise is really good, as it would be interesting as a Player to advance in the races to climb the most wanted list and become the most powerful racer... NFS Heat is also a good choice, considering that it was the game with the story that interested me most in my other life, even more so with the idea of ??official races during the day to make money and clandestine races at night to gain reputation... hell, even Forza Horizon would be fun with the races against planes and all that crazy festival stuff they came up with..." Alex started to say talking to himself while wondering how he could do this.
"While I decide which game I'm going to make, first I can start making the cars and customizations for the cars... with the cars ready I can decide which game to use those cars in the future." Alex finally decided to start developing the main part of the game. "Oasis, contact these car brands and arrange a meeting with them at Hub 00."
[Yes, sir.] Oasis replied.
Hub 00 was Alex's private Hub, where he could call whoever he wanted and use whatever appearance he wanted.
But because he was used to it, Alex didn't think much about it and went back to developing the cars.
The customization part was very important, to the point that if the game didn't allow you to customize the cars, the probability of it not attracting a very frequent audience was high.
"Oasis, also contact car customization groups such as RocketBunny, LibertyWalk and other reputable groups in this area." Alex ordered as he continued to develop the cars.
With Oasis running things as an assistant, Alex had a lot more free time to develop games.
Of course the first two cars he made were the GTR and the Ferrari he used as Alex and Notch when Bee was transformed.
As he was making the cars, Alex realized that perhaps the way games were made in his previous world might not be ideal for this world.
Considering that making a game in the previous world was extremely expensive and time-consuming, a racing game with 30 hours of story was a lot, but considering how easy it was for him to make games, Alex was more ambitious.
'If I can make a huge open world like the world of ESW, I can also make something similar in a racing game, right?' Alex thought.
"As it will be a game where the Player will literally enter the world, I can enlarge the map to a much larger one, thus increasing the time the Players would spend playing, as it would take longer to drive from one point to another.
With this, Players would feel that their money was much more valued while I can even find other ways to monetize the time that Players spend in the game." Alex started to have even more ideas.
"I can monetize with... radios! As a game that will take place in cars most of the time, I can rent out the in-game radio spaces to radio stations around the world!" Alex thought of a great idea to get money.
"I might even charge a fee for Players to bring their in-game cars to Oasis for them to use in the Hubs..."
Thinking about monetization, Alex's mind opened in a way that ideas kept coming.
'Maybe I should change the company name from Mojang to Electronic Arts if I keep going like this?' Alex thought as he laughed at how excited he was about planning how he was going to get money out of the Players' wallet.
