Rebirth of the 80s

Chapter 201 [No.219] Game Private Server?
Before the Spring Festival is over, the staff of the "Condor Shooting Software" game development company have already started to go to work ahead of schedule. After more than half a year of hard work by all the staff, the entire writing work of the online game "The Legend of Jin Yong Heroes" has been completed. Pippen I asked everyone to sell their holidays in advance, and organized a game trial in the local area network during the Spring Festival. The location was in the "Fat Cai" Internet Cafe on Chunyu Street.

Pippen is actually right to do this. Previously, Xie Wenjun only suggested that there should be several rounds of testing before the game is officially charged. Through the participation of many players in the test, the shortcomings of the game are found, and then improvements are made. Xie Wenjun’s reminder is actually an online game in the previous life. Internal testing and public testing in the conventional sense, but the careful Pippen suggested a game test in a LAN before the internal testing and public testing.

What Pippen means is because this "Legend of Jin Yong Heroes" is the first domestic RPG-style online game with both sound and shape. All the staff involved in the development are crossing the river by feeling the stones, so there are inevitably too many shortcomings The problem is that if you hang on to the Internet for a limited internal test, there will be too many problems, and it may even cause the game to be unplayable. The test, so that if you find the problem, you can improve it in time, and the improvement is relatively easier than posting it on the Internet.

If there are no major problems with the game, it will be uploaded to the Internet for a limited internal test, and then the public test will be carried out step by step and step by step.

Pippen considered the issue quite thoroughly, Xie Wenjun nodded after thinking about it, and simply asked Ma Dekai to "vacate" the entire "Fat Cai" Internet cafe, and let "Jin Yong Heroes" conduct a LAN game test. During the game test Internet cafes do not do business, but players can come to the Internet cafes to participate in the trial play of this game for free. At the same time, as long as players who participate in the LAN game test, each player can get twenty "Jin Yong Heroes" internal test game accounts, which can be played at When the online game "The Legend of Jin Yong Heroes" is officially launched online, friends or netizens from all over the world will be invited to play the game in depth.

The Spring Festival has always been the best season for Internet cafe business. At this time, many young friends who love to play games also have time, and students and friends also have the capital to play games because they have lucky money in their pockets. During the transformation, it was stipulated that teenagers under the age of 16 were not allowed to enter, but at this special time of joy, who cares so much, as long as someone is willing to play, no matter how old he is, he can enter the Internet cafe to play games, and the relevant departments are also at this time Vacation at home, travel, travel, no one will care about this.

With the strong atmosphere of playing games and the great opportunity to play for free, even the entire Internet cafe can participate in a game similar to "Legend of Sword and Fairy" at the same time, and each has its own character self-development, everyone How interesting it is for people who love computer games to kill me, hack, practice and upgrade all on one platform, so "Jin Yong Heroes" is officially installed on all machines of "Fa Cai" Internet Cafe and debugged On the day when the Internet was good, "Fat Cai" was overwhelmed by the turbulent flow of people, and there were even some ashes players from cities closer to Linxi who specially took the car after seeing the news of this nationwide trial game on the Internet. The purpose of coming to "Fat Cai" is to appreciate the magical charm of this RPG-style game that everyone plays together.

Although "Fat Cai" has basically covered all major and medium-sized cities across the country and implemented chains in various places, except for the "Fat Cai" Internet cafe in Linxi City, the "Fat Cai" chain Internet cafes in other cities do not offer free trials of this online game. Many game lovers still have some complaints about this, but this small-scale game test is in line with Pippen's original meaning, to make Internet cafes in all cities under "Fat Cai" test "Jin Yong Heroes" Well, it's no different from the internal test, so why bother, just hang it on the Internet for the internal test and it's over.

Seeing that players have such high expectations for this RPG-style online game, Xie Wenjun is also quite proud. The strong atmosphere of players participating in online games is more or less related to him. It can also be said that "Julian Online "Cause of the influence of online chess and card games, no matter what, I can barely be considered to have played a pivotal role in the development of the Internet in contemporary China, and at the same time created a new era of online games.

"Xie Wenjun, amazing, this game is amazing, everyone is playing together, to be honest, I have actually thought about this possibility before, I thought about tens of thousands of people playing Samurai Soul together, hacking all over the world , How exciting, but just thinking about it, I didn’t expect someone to actually make this kind of game now, it’s so amazing, it’s my idol.” A classmate who likes to play computer games in school was also called by Xie Wenjun All were invited to participate in the game trial of "The Legend of Jin Yong Heroes". Game fan Song Leiluo's first reaction when he saw this game was surprise, and then he was full of admiration from the bottom of his heart.

"Who hasn't thought about this kind of thing, I have thought about it too, I also thought about tens of thousands of people playing King of Fighters together, everyone is practicing Iori Temple, and Iori Temple all over the world is so exciting," Zheng Gang smiled, " I heard that this game was made by the teachers and students of our school, it seems to be a few years higher than ours, right, Xiaojun."

Zheng Gang didn't know that "The Legend of Jinyong Heroes" was made by Xie Wenjun's company, but he only heard that the online game was made by a teacher and former student Pippen of No. [-] Middle School.

Xie Wenjun chuckled: "It seems so. Since you two have such an idea, why don't you make one yourself. You both have basic computer knowledge. It shouldn't be difficult to charge up and learn."

"I want to, but no one asked me to do it." Song Leiluo said with emotion.

"If you think about it, someone has to ask you to do it. You haven't achieved anything, or you have a bit of talent in this area." Xie Wenjun smiled and suggested, "Since you want to, you should Try to develop it in this direction.”

"Yes, I will work hard to develop in this area," Song Leiluo said with a smile, "Actually, I think I should play games when I grow up, and I feel that I have the talent in this area, not just an ordinary one. It is a super talent."

"Come on, you, you are getting more and more shameless," Zheng Gang said disdainfully, "You have shit talent, you only know how to play, how can you do it? Is it such a simple thing to make games? Do you want me to do it?" It's almost the same, I... have talent, super talent."

These two pigheads don't know how to write the word "shame". Xie Wenjun shook his head, too lazy to listen to the two cheeky bragging, and walked around in the Internet cafe, doing what players think about this online game. Reviews and opinion polls.

Teacher Xiaochun and Pippen also jumped up and down in the entire Internet cafe, collecting some feedback information from players, trying to find the most suitable ones among the most direct opinions, and improve the game better.

All the players in the entire Internet cafe have only one word for the evaluation of "The Legend of Jin Yong Heroes" - "good". This first RPG-style online game is really attractive, and this feature alone is enough to cover up the content of the game. Some flaws and bugs, but the careful Pippen still tried his best to ask the players to be more objective and make some pertinent evaluations of the game, from which he also got a lot of useful opinions and suggestions.

The first day's player trial information collection work is over, and the Internet cafe is still very lively. Almost all the players don't want to leave as soon as they sit in front of the computer, and plan to continue all night. Seeing this scene, Xie Wenjun felt very sad Thinking about the time when I played "Legend" and "Miracle" in my previous life, I was just like them. I was so attracted by the game that I forgot to sleep and eat. I even persisted for two days and two nights, breaking my record for the longest time without sleep. It was Jinshi’s own company that made the first RPG-style online game in China, but I’m not interested in playing it anymore. After all, making games seems more interesting than playing games, and breaking the record for the longest time without sleep is left to the someone else.

Xie Wenjun, Pippen, Xiaochun and several game creators sorted out the feedback and opinions of the players in the office of the Internet cafe, and found that most players had a common point of view, the game upgrade is too slow, "Jin Yong Heroes "Biography" at the beginning of the game is positioned at level 100, and the difficulty of upgrading increases with the number of characters controlled by the player. From ten o'clock in the morning when the game is officially opened in the "Fa Cai" Internet cafe, to eight o'clock in the evening, a total of ten Within an hour, only two of the more than 3000 players broke through level 15, and everyone else was still below level 15, so I felt that the game's upgrade speed was a bit too slow.

Teacher Xiaochun and Pippen felt that we should pay attention to this problem reported by players and double the upgrade speed of the game. Otherwise, if the upgrade speed is always so slow, players will lose interest in the game.

"Slow? Is the leveling speed of this game slow?" Xie Wenjun thought for a while. According to his experience of playing online games in his previous life, it shouldn't be difficult for a fast player to level up to level 100 within ten hours in an online game that reaches full level at level 15. Let’s be slow, except for the online games like “Legend”, which are super perverted in terms of upgrades, so I asked, “Generally speaking, an ordinary player can play for two or three hours a day. How long does it take on average for a full level?"

Pippen thought for a while: "Not sure."

Not sure?Xie Wenjun asked: "You are the one in charge of this game, how come you don't know about this kind of problem?"

"Uh..." Pippen thought about it again, "It should be about four or five months."

"No," Teacher Xiaochun shook his head, "I'm afraid it will take four or five years."

Uh?Xie Wenjun was taken aback. The average lifespan of online games is one to two years, and the classic ones may take a little longer. This kind of game that can only reach full level in four or five years will of course make players gradually become accustomed to it. It lost interest, and the difference between the two main creators was four or five months, and the other was four or five years. The gap is too big, so they said: "How long is it, how come one said four or five months, and the other said Four or five years ago, it feels like the two of you are not making the same game."

"It should be four or five..." Pippen looked at Mr. Xiaochun, he was not sure, and Mrs. Xiaochun also looked at him, the two of them just looked at each other, and they couldn't figure out how long it had been .

"What's the matter?" Xie Wenjun frowned, "Who is responsible for this thing, how can I not know?"

When Xie Wenjun said this, the two felt a little surprised. Pippen hesitated and said: "It seems... It seems that I only cared about important things such as game content and graphics at the beginning, and I didn't care about this issue. In the end, I checked the game program , I didn't pay attention either."

"It's careless," Teacher Xiaochun smiled, "It seems that this online game not only requires excellent game content and good-looking graphics, but also upgrade speed is a problem worth studying, haha."

Of course it is worth studying. Just now, Xie Wenjun thought it was because "The Legend of Jin Yong Heroes" was the first RPG-style online game. Of course, players hoped to quickly upgrade to do difficult tasks, so there was a suspicion of game upgrades. The illusion that the speed is too slow, as a senior player of online games in his previous life, he also had this feeling that the game upgrade speed was too slow, but after asking this question, he found that it was not the player's illusion, not the player's problem, but himself This part of the game is not enough, it is the problem of the game itself.

Xie Wenjun shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "That means the upgrade speed of this game is random now, for example, it takes ten hours to upgrade to the first level 15, but it may only take one hour to upgrade from level 85 to 100, or even Is it to beat a monster to raise two or three levels? Anyway, it’s a mess, and I don’t know when to go up fast and when to go up slowly?”

Pippen nodded and couldn't help laughing: "It should be like this, it's messed up, haha."

Xie Wenjun smiled and said: "Damn it, this is a legal and compliant genuine game, you made it look like a private server, alas!"

"Private server? What is a private server?" Teacher Xiaochun and Pippen asked together.

"Uh..." How could they know what a private server is, Xie Wenjun realized that he had slipped his mouth, and said again, "I mean, we made a game for all people to participate in, but now it seems to be a private server. They are the same in size, they can improve as much as they want."

"Oh," Pippen nodded, "it seems so, so what should I do?"

Teacher Xiaochun kept shaking his head: "Careless, careless, change it quickly, otherwise this round of trial play will be in vain, how can I go up quickly and slowly?"

"How long will it take to make such a change?" Xie Wenjun asked.

"This thing is simple," Pippen thought for a while, "as long as we set a cycle and modify the program, it can be done in 2 minutes."

Xie Wenjun discussed it with them, and decided that the hardcore players should be able to practice to the full level in half a year as the limit, and then set up a new map and open a new level when most players have reached the full level.

After the discussion, Pippen went to the Internet cafe server to change the main program of the game, and then asked all the players participating in the test to quit the game through a large broadcast, and taught them step by step to overwrite the updated program on their own machines. , when the player entered the game, he found that all the characters he had practiced before were gone, and everyone had to start from scratch again. In the Internet cafe, there was a lot of cursing and dissatisfaction, and some angry players even smashed the keyboard and dropped the mouse. , Throwing the cup for drinking tea against the wall of the Internet cafe and smashed it to pieces.

Xie Wenjun sighed for a while, this is the "charm" of online games, it is easy to bring people's emotions into it, and it feels like a rather scary thing.

Players are very angry, and Ma Dekai is even more angry because these hot guys destroy "public property". He hurriedly joined a few Internet cafe security guards to throw those guys who destroyed "public property" out like chickens, throwing cups to take the lead The provocative guy was dragged to the back alley by the security guards for repairs.

To deal with the troublemakers, Ma Dekai came in again to dry up his saliva before explaining to the players that this is a game test, and there will definitely be some changes in it, because he wants to do a good job of this classic online game so that players will This is what happens when you enjoy the game and have fun. After Ma Dekai explained that most players found it understandable, he stopped complaining. He rebuilt the characters one by one and started playing again from scratch. After previous trials Playing, after getting started, the leveling speed of the players is obviously much faster than before, and I feel that the game test is done well in my heart, that is, I have to improve the game step by step in this way, then they will have classic games to play in the future .

The game upgrade speed improved, and taking advantage of the fact that the Internet cafe was still full, Mr. Xiaochun and Pippen decided to stay overnight to collect feedback from the players, so as to avoid similar incidents caused by carelessness from happening again. Xie Wenjun smiled at the two People said it was hard work, so they decided to go home and be lazy.

As soon as Xie Wenjun left the Internet cafe, Pippen chased him out again, saying that there was a call for him, it was a woman, I don't know which little wife of his.

Xie Wenjun scolded Pippen with a smile, then went to answer the phone, thinking who would know that I was in an Internet cafe today, and only after I answered the phone did I find out that it was Qiaoqiao who asked Xie Wenjun to go to Linxi University. They used to When we met in a teahouse I had been to, my tone was rather strange.

The little daughter-in-law would not usually ask me out so mysteriously, could it be that she has a baby?It can't be so "scary", Xie Wenjun smiled self-deprecatingly, went out with a stomach full of doubts, took a taxi to the tea room next to Linxi University.
