---- Game Maker System: Chapter 02 ----
With Mojang\'s investment in Twitch, the visibility that Fortnite and Minecraft were receiving was steadily increasing.
Currently Twitch was not only a Livestreams site but also had a session for users to post videos, which made the site\'s popularity skyrocket even more, especially after Notch advised Emmett to add a session for short vertical videos to for users to watch it on their cell phones.
For the time being this session was not as popular as the livestreams or long horizontal videos session, as smartphones were still relatively new and few people had them, but still, even for computer users it was already quite interesting to watch. the short videos and without them realizing it, hours had passed and they had watched hundreds of these videos.
Another big incentive for content creators was that they could use the snippets of the livestreams they made on the site, edit that on the site itself and post it as a standalone video, which could yield a high income for these people.
Considering that people all over the world were watching videos and livestreams on this site, executives from various companies soon saw the advertising potential that this had and soon began investing large amounts of money to promote their brand in advertisements on this site, which resulted into a high income for content creators, which generated more people interested in producing content wanting to earn money, and finally this became a big snowball.
Alex was amazed at how fast this market was growing compared to his old world, which only had such a huge boom in audiences around the year 2015, but in this world it was only 2012 and this trend was already almost becoming as big as in the previous world.
Another thing that Alex advised Emmett to do was that unlike his previous world where Twitch took 50% of the profits and left only 50% for the creators, in this world this was changed to 20% for Twitch and 80% for the creators , as the cost of maintaining the site was very low thanks to Mojang\'s System, which encouraged even more creators to join the platform, and incredibly increased Twitch\'s income even more than when it received 50% of the profit.
Looking at the performance of Fortnite and Minecraft, Alex was also extremely satisfied, especially when he saw that this morning he had reached 10 million GP, allowing him to finally be able to separate Oasis from Minecraft and Fortnite.
For this change, Alex did it in a pretty low-key way, just rolling this out via an update in the Players Software.
Whereas previously they had to download Fortnite and Minecraft separately to gain access to both games, now the player only needed to download a game called \'Oasis\', and within the game the player could access Fortnite or buy Minecraft through the interface.
The players were very surprised when they saw this change, especially with the very beautiful and elegant design that Alex had adopted for the Oasis brand.
What attracted players\' attention even more was that unlike before where they had to wait a few seconds to switch between Minecraft and Oasis, now this transfer was instantaneous.
A couple of portals popped up around Oasis where players could walk through that and connect into the world of Minecraft right away, more as a place for players to find other players with a common interest so that the community could be strengthened, but of course, there was still the option where the player could enter the game directly through the Menu anywhere in Oasis.
This update was very well received by players, as for them, the more practical the game was, the better it would be.
And that reflected in the revenue that the games were generating, both Minecraft had a jump in the amount of sales that it was getting, and Fortnite also had a lot more players spending on Battle Pass or buying Skins to look better, both in the game and in Oasis .
New stores also appeared in Oasis, where even Stark Industries also had a branded store where players could visit and learn about the technology they developed there, both about the Arc Reactor energy technology, as well as a place to players to experience Iron Man\'s boots and gloves that appeared in Fortnite, which made more people around the world better understand Tony Stark\'s mind.
The dislike players felt towards Tony for being a distant billionaire they could never catch up with significantly lessened after players had fun playing around with some of Iron Man\'s armor gear, which greatly increased the popularity of this American hero around the world. world.
Other brands were also renting stores in Minecraft at very high prices when they saw how useful this would be for them, especially when they saw that users who tried on clothes in Oasis had a high conversion rate of sales for similar products in real life, even more so with the option that Mojang developed so that users could buy products in the game and that this would arrive at their home in real life by mail, making e-commerce even more developed in this world, since despite being an e-commerce, it still maintained the feeling of shopping in a real store.
Of course, this was all great for Alex, as Mojang took a percentage of the sales of every product that players bought through Oasis, in addition to the rent from the stores, which greatly increased Alex\'s GP gain after that.
Surprisingly, even martial arts schools, magic schools, and even power testing environments were popping up in Oasis and Minecraft.
Some of the more harmless powers from the Mutants mod that Minecraft had released were available for players to experience in Oasis, such as the power of teleportation, the power of telekinesis, and even the power to run at high speeds, could be used in Oasis, which made humans who had a dislike for mutants feel that this was no longer something exclusive to these blessed people, and that in Oasis everyone could be like them, causing the sense of oppression that mutants felt had greatly diminished.
Even in real life, where the X-Men were quite hated, now there were people who asked them to show some of their powers in real life so they could see it in person, which left the X-Men quite confused and happy with this news.
Attacks by mutant terrorists like the Brotherhood had not subsided, but now instead of hating all mutants, now the hatred of humans was more focused only on these terrorists than on all mutants.
There were even reports of parents of children who hoped to awaken mutant powers in real life, so they could feel special, something that some parents hated, but that part of the population could already see with a much better vision.
In two months, Oasis had become a much better world, where poor people could have a much happier and more enjoyable life, and rich people could experience things that money could never buy in real life.
Even the School of Magic that had appeared in Minecraft had developed much more, now with more than 10 thousand students actively studying the very mysterious magic that had appeared in the WitchCraft Mod of Minecraft, which also had some harmless spells that could be used in Oasis.
The population of Oasis which previously stood at just 900 million people, had now finally reached a total of 3 billion users around the world.
For a world with a population of almost 7 billion people, this represented almost 50% of the entire world population that had at least experienced this mystical new world.
And Alex, the developer of all this, was currently working on the development of the new game.
Looking at the date on the calendar, Alex knew the date for the invasion of New York was very close.
Even though he knew that Thor was currently playing with the Mjolnir that Notch had given him in Oasis, Alex didn\'t doubt that the invasion would still happen, even if Loki wasn\'t the cause of all this, maybe someone else could be, so Alex felt that it was necessary for him to take precautions for this.
In those 2 months he had stored a large amount of GP, not only so that he could buy various powers for him to use to protect the Earth and develop a new game, but he also intended to separate a part of that GP so that the players of his games could rescue game powers for real life.
This transaction cost GP, so Alex\'s goal during these months was to develop Oasis to yield the highest amount of GP possible, so even though players spend a lot of GP to redeem powers in real life, with a limit of course, the game still yielded more GP than it spent, which would make this development profitable in the long run, despite the monstrous expenses.
\'Even if players spend a lot of GP, as long as I continue to develop games and improve Oasis, that revenue can always maintain a balance with much more GP coming in through player spending than going out through redeeming their powers.\' Alex thought excitedly as he continued to set up the next game.
\'The focus for the next game should not be fancy powers, but simpler and more discreet powers, so players can have a higher survival rate with the invasion, as some can also help protect the world.\'
Looking at the next game project that was already 80% complete, Alex was quite satisfied.
\'In just a few days the game will finally be ready, so income can get another boom…\' Alex thought. \'I just hope that\'s enough…\'
