MARVEL: GAME MAKER SYSTEM-Chapter 55: Rich

The Fortnite Trailer launched and in 1 minute it reached over 10 million views.

The trailer was less than 60 seconds long, so as most people watched 100% of the video, YouTube's algorithm began to promote the video intensely, causing the video to have already reached 70 million views in 30 minutes.

People who didn't already know about Minecraft became aware of the game because of the Fortnite trailer, and Minecraft sales that were already skyrocketing have now taken off for good.

Hundreds of thousands of copies of Minecraft were sold every minute, millions of new users downloaded this strange game and began to discover this new world to try to understand why it was so famous.

This groundbreaking technology finally burst the bubble SHIELD tried to create and became known to the masses.

"Shit, order YouTube to delete this video now!" Nick Fury screamed in rage, but Maria Hill knew it would do no good.

Tony Stark was frustrated, as Pepper Potts said that Stark Industries' lawyers were unable to locate anything related to Mojang, Minecraft or Fortnite.

And while those people were having a lot of different impressions, old Minecraft players were going wild with the announcement of this new game.

The Fortnite trailer could be played multiple times, so many players started watching the trailer inside Minecraft's virtual reality to feel what it feels like to hold a gun.

Most people were very scared when they saw Iron Man pointing the laser guns at them, but despite being scared, the emotion they felt was unparalleled.

[This is amazing, as a gun collector I say with propriety that the gun we hold during the Fortnite trailer is a Colt Model 933, I don't mean to say that it's based on a Colt Model 933, but rather that it's a representation perfect weapon! Both the weight, even the temperature was perfect. If you have a passion for weapons like I do, you can test and confirm my point.]

Shortly after the trailer was released, several people started shooting video about various topics related to the trailer.

People analyzing the weapons, analyzing Iron Man's armor, analyzing the environment, analyzing the background music, it's all been analyzed by these fanatical gamers.

And while those players were spreading Minecraft even further, Alex was at home watching the aftermath of that trailer with a big smile on his face.

"Okay, the result is as good as I imagined. As most players are still discovering and getting to know Minecraft, I don't need to rush to launch Fortnite right away, ideally I release a few more Teasers and develop a satisfying Battle Pass, plus some cool skins to make the game's launch event really good." Alex continued his planning while looking at the data.

The Fortnite trailer reached 400 million views in the first 24 hours, while Minecraft, which had almost 20 million copies sold when the trailer was released, due to the bursting of the SHIELD bubble, doubled the amount of sales, reaching 40 million.

Alex was watching his Gaming Points rise at a frightening rate!

Despite having already spent 500k Gaming Points on the development of Fortnite, Alex looked at the system and was shocked at how many Gaming Points he had.

[4.200.000 Gaming Points]

"Four million…" Alex said scared as he looked at that number.

A few months ago he was still a poor guy who had to eat CupNoodles to survive without spending too many Gaming Points, now he already has 4 million!

"I know that 4 million isn't even a drop in the bucket to develop the metaverse I want in the future, but with so many extra points, I can refine Fortnite to a quality I couldn't even imagine." Alex said. "What will it cost to do something like a Virtual Hub for my games?"

This idea came to Alex when he thought of a movie he watched in his previous life, Ready Player One, where players entered another world, and within that world they could teleport to other worlds, like a virtual Hub.

Just as Steam made the Hub available for Steam VR, where the player entered a virtual mansion to choose which game he could play, Alex had the idea of doing that too, but making people's social interaction available through the Hub, leaving everything Online .

When this idea first came up, Alex was quick to look into how much it would cost to develop this.

But when finishing the simulation, Alex was shocked by the price of 10 million Gaming Points… This was not for the development of this Hub, but to allow the integration of other games to the same Hub.

"Okay, maybe I'm not as rich as I thought, but thinking about the speed I'm earning Gaming Points, it won't be impossible in the future, even more so when I have two games generating Gaming Points simultaneously." Alex got excited thinking about it.

As he saw that he had so many Gaming Points, Alex returned to Fortnite development, but now with a much more wasteful mindset.

While before he just chose a slightly simpler Shaders to avoid so much expense, now Alex has made a variation of Shaders available for the players to decide how they would want to see the game.

As for the Battle Pass, Alex thought it would be interesting to use his favorite Battle Pass from Fortnite in his previous life, the Chapter 2 Season 2 Battle Pass, with the level 100 Skin being Midas.

The most interesting thing about this skin is that Midas has golden fingers, that is, every weapon that this skin holds is golden, and even if Midas throws the weapon away, the weapon remains golden for other players to take it, which was a very creative implementation.

After finishing what he had to develop for the day, Alex saw that he still had over 4 million Gaming Points and decided to check out the Skills Shop again, to see some power or something else for him to buy, as he now had more confidence than go to a human city.
