Using the game development system was easier than Alex imagined.
He was initially worried that he had never studied game development in his life, especially programming. But when interacting with the system's computer, Alex felt that everything was much simpler than he imagined.
If he needed an item to work that way, he just had to type that it should work that way, and the system would automatically fill in the functionality the way he envisioned.
Using Minecraft development as an example, when he told the system that he wanted the sand and gravel blocks to have gravity, the system would go straight into his mind and understand what he wanted to do.
Of course, he even thought about trying to imagine Minecraft and telling the system to do it that way, but in doing so the system sent a notification to him that left him a little scared.
[To represent the host memory game perfectly, a fee of 50,000 Gaming Points will be required. As the host memory functionalities are very advanced, it will be necessary to upgrade the game to 'Advanced Sandbox', which needs another 200,000 Gaming Points fee. ]
After seeing this message, Alex stopped being lazy and started thinking about every aspect he would put into the game on his own.
Most of the game stuff he could do using the basic system resources, as Minecraft wasn't a game with a lot of stuff, he didn't need to spend a lot of Gaming Points on development.
Of course, that's because he decided to use one of the older versions of the game.
The game wouldn't have the latest updates like Caves Update, Nether Update, Villager and Pillager Update... but it still had a lot of stuff available, much more advanced than early versions of Minecraft in its previous world.
Curious, Alex asked the system something. "System, is it possible to make the game available for players to develop mods?"
[It is possible, but as the game is not made using any of the platforms in this world, the user will have to spend 50 Gaming Points to develop a mod development platform. ]
"Hmm...that's good. I approve. Even though it's a little expensive, it's still essential for this game." Alex said with a smile on his face.
"But system, you said the game is not made using any of the platforms in this world, how does that work?" Alex asked.
[The game is developed on a more evolved world platform, which reduces the expense and time needed to make the game. Of the 200 points spent on choosing the game style, 50% is used to convert the game to an acceptable platform in this world, while the other 50% is used for features used in the game itself. ]
"An acceptable platform in this world? How so?" Alex asked with a frown. He thought this game would be played on PC or a console.
[The advanced world platform is made for playing games where the player is teleported to other worlds. However, on this platform if the player dies in the game, he also dies in real life. That's why it's necessary to modify this platform so that only the player's conscience goes to the game world, and add a security system so that the player goes back to the original world if he dies in the game. ]
As he read this message floating in front of him, Alex felt the hairs on his body rise. He thought he was just developing an ordinary computer game, but he was actually working on a program that sent people to other worlds?! If there was no such security system, would players die in his games?
Luckily there was this security system, so Alex was more reassured about it. Over time he even got excited imagining what it would be like to play Minecraft in person.
He had seen videos of people playing Minecraft in VR in his previous life, but nobody really liked it, they said it was too weird and claustrophobic. Some professionals even said it was because of the hardware limitation at the time.
But according to what the system said, Alex would not have to worry about this limitation and could experience the game perfectly.
With that in mind, he was even more concerned about making the game better.
To turn the game's lighting into something more realistic, he even paid another 50 Gaming Points to add a pack of Shaders to the game world. It would be very strange to enter another reality and the sun is weak, the water has no reflection.
After that the graphics were amazing.
The problem was when he started to feel like he had forgotten about some things in the game.
"What do I do…" Alex asked himself worriedly.
He played Minecraft for many years, but it's one thing to play it, another thing to remember every detail, every block, every mob.
Until he realized he still had 100 free points.
"System, is there anything I can do to remember all the details of a game?" Alex asked worriedly.
[User can purchase a Memory Capsule for 50 Gaming Points. This capsule will make the user remember everything related to something specific for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the memory about it will start to fade if the user doesn't pay attention to that thing again, but if the user really concentrates on what he wants to remember, he can remember that thing again, but not so easily. Ps. Using multiple memory capsules on something specific can make that memory permanent. ]
Reading that in the message floating in front of him made Alex break into a satisfied smile. He could still save 50 Gaming Points after using the memory pod.
Without thinking twice he bought the capsule and swallowed it.
In a few seconds a lot of memories started to pop into his mind, initially it hurt a little, but as time went by it only got slightly uncomfortable.
Until he completely adapted to that memory and went back to developing Minecraft.
Alex was determined to finish Minecraft tonight.
