Game production, I entered the Star Iron shooting CG

Use these tactics to achieve victory.

In addition to crushing the opponent with gun skills, players can also get a strong sense of satisfaction such as "my tactics are better than yours".

What’s even better is that these pleasant feelings will instantly overlap at the moment of successful evacuation, making you intoxicated.

When seeing Tang Baibai's satisfied smile as he boarded the spacecraft, the audience also felt a sense of sharing the glory.

The barrage of comments came one after another.

"I'm so cool! Bao, I heard that, I want to play a game too."

"I won't sleep if I don't get on the spaceship today!"

"Mihoyo is amazing. I used to get dizzy from 3D, but I played this game for an entire afternoon despite feeling dizzy. It was so cool!"

"Tang Bao's command is really good. Can you bring some water friends on the spaceship as well?"

Chapter 3: Cheats? I will make sure he never comes back! (k)

The big anchors from all major live broadcast platforms collectively switched to "Spread", which had an excellent publicity effect and made "Spread" spread just like its name.

Innovative gameplay and excellent gaming experience allow players to make choices with their toes.

As the player base of Spread grows, some products operating in the gray area have also set their sights on this rising star in the online shooting game industry.

Those are various technological aids, or plug-ins.

The huge player base of "Spread" has attracted a large number of plug-in makers to focus on this game.

At the beginning, they thought that FPS games were still a new game company, and it was not easy to make plug-ins.

But when they just started to extract the local data packets of "Spread", they encountered a heavy blow. Mihoyo's package encryption algorithm was more difficult to understand than the Book of Heaven.

However, there is always a way out. With the help of a kind-hearted stranger with the online name "Black Tower", they spent some effort and actually cracked the data packet.

After completing this step, the rest of the process was smooth sailing, and it didn't even take any effort, as if Mihoyo had no defenses at all.

The sharp contrast between before and after made them burst out laughing.

"Haha, this Mihoyo is really a new company. They think they can sit back and relax just by making an encryption algorithm? They don't even guard against cheats when making shooting games? They don't have any detection methods at all."

"Indeed, I was thinking about how to avoid their sweep, but in the end I didn't do anything. Who are you looking down on?"

"But the encryption algorithm is really great. Fortunately, I have the help of the boss of 'Black Tower'. I just sent him a red envelope of 8000 yuan. Let's make friends!"

"Hehehe, you simply don't take us seriously."

"This game's official website even says 'Promise of Zero Cheats'. That's it? It's time to spread Big Brother's little song!"

"Hahaha, but this game is really popular now. We can make a lot of money this time! Let's learn from Mihoyo and sell monthly membership services."

"a ha ha ha!"

But soon, they stopped laughing.

The local game data can indeed be extracted and modified. They tried to transmit the modified data back to the game server, and the server received it normally.

Follow the normal process and complete this step, and the plug-in is finished.

But in less than 3 seconds, the account used for the experiment was kicked out of the game, and when they tried to log in again, the account was permanently banned.

Unwilling to give up, they tried again and again, but the result was always the same.

Mihoyo is like having a third eye, monitoring every game in real time.

Cheats? Go ahead and use them. You'll be done for if I ban you.

At this point, they realized something was wrong.

It is possible to make plug-ins, but they cannot be used. If used, the account will be blocked immediately.

What the fuck is going on?

A group of plug-in developers racked their brains but still had no idea what went wrong.

The person who sent a red envelope to the "Black Tower" boss originally wanted to inquire about it, but found that the other party's account had disappeared, which was cleaner than being cancelled, as if it had never existed.

This strange situation made these people break out in cold sweats, and they felt as if they were about to get into big trouble.

……

……

7 days after the release of Spread.

Mihoyo headquarters.

A programmer with a strong hairstyle, the director of the technical department, walked into An Yi's office.

"Boss An, this is the monitoring data from the last few days since Spread was launched. Please take a look."

"it is good."

An Yi took the data statistics from his hand and looked down.

During these seven days, the game's average daily active users have reached 2000 million and are still increasing steadily.

Almost 50% of these players are deep players, and each of them will play more than a dozen mutant battles on average.

The sales of appearance boxes were quiet in the first few days, but suddenly soared in the last two days. Although the turnover was not as horrific as that of Star Iron, it still brought in tens of millions of dollars every day.

It should be that players have fully understood the content of the game and are willing to pay for the appearance.

An Yi looked at them all the way with a smile on his face.

It was not until the last piece of data that he put away the smile on his face.

[The server detected abnormal player data: 84534 times. ]

[634 player accounts have been banned. ]

"Tsk, these people are really persistent, can't they just play games properly?"

An Yi couldn't help but be shocked. It's only been 7 days since the app was launched and already someone wants to cheat?

I really don't understand what these cheaters are thinking. What's so good about this mutation mode?

Fortunately, he had the foresight to build a data verification function on Mihoyo's server, otherwise these people would really have become the boss.

Games like FPS have extremely high requirements for operational smoothness and latency, with victory or defeat determined in milliseconds.

This means that players’ operations must have sufficiently timely and fast feedback, otherwise the game will become unplayable.

Every action taken by the players will generate corresponding computing power. If these huge computing power is placed on Mihoyo's server, it will be safe, but it will also cause huge delays.

To solve this problem, the calculation work is generally performed on the players' local devices, and only the calculation results are transmitted back to the server.

But doing so also results in lower latency and makes it easier for plug-ins to tamper with calculation results.

Because the calculation process is local, this gives plug-ins room to modify data.

Generally speaking, the means of detecting cheats in shooting games is nothing more than scanning the disk, which is simple and crude, and directly kills all third-party software at the source.

However, doing so will not only take up the player's computer performance, but will also invisibly infringe on the user's personal privacy.

However, if the scan is not comprehensive, it is equivalent to not scanning at all. There will always be some plug-ins hidden in the user's private files, escaping the scan and becoming fish that slip through the net.

An Yi was too lazy to deal with all this, so he just waved his hand and configured another server, which was specifically responsible for collecting players' operation information, and then verifying the calculations that had been completed locally by the players on the server side.

Then make a real-time comparison with the calculation results sent back by the player, and kill him directly if there is any abnormality.

Although this doubles the server cost, it ensures the low latency required for the game and can also resolve all plug-ins in a timely manner.

However, Anyi would rather spend more money than see plug-ins and scripts flooding his game.

In his previous life, he had seen enough plug-ins.

Almost every online shooting game has its own unique nickname for cheat users, such as "Big Brother", "Gyroscope", "Macro Boy" and so on.

This is something that every shooting game player hates, but cannot escape.

But if the game manufacturers as regulators do nothing, no matter how loud the players' voices are, they will not have any effect.

Some manufacturers even shield some big anchors and condone their cheating behavior...

"Practice more if you are good at it, don't play if you can't afford to lose!"

The appearance of this kind of "famous saying" will not only have a bad impact on the game, but will also seriously interfere with the gaming experience of normal players.

But in fact, these situations are not unmanageable by the authorities.

There are very few plug-ins that are truly difficult to deal with.

After all, if there is really technical capabilities that surpass those of game manufacturers, they will not look down on the trivial plug-in production.

In most cases, game manufacturers, after carefully weighing the pros and cons, find that doing so is laborious and will not bring any benefits, so they allow it to develop, leaving ordinary players struggling in the quagmire.

After all, with the cost of optimizing the player experience, we can have several more heroic weapons.

There is more than one reason for this situation. Another important reason is that game manufacturers are fearless.

There are only a few shooting online games on the market.

The sense of pride of "have fun if you want, get out if you don't" and "You are no different" fills the hearts of every manufacturer.

Before "Contagion", shooting online games in this world were almost like this. In fact, because players had fewer choices, manufacturers were more permissive towards plug-ins.

Take the several FPS online games that Anyi has actually experienced as an example.

Almost every other hand, you can encounter a big brother. Some big brothers even blatantly post on the public screen: "A small opening is not considered an opening, and a small penetration is not considered a penetration."

Now it's my turn to make games, can I still let cheaters bully me? Then I've come here for nothing.

An Yi stroked the paper in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "Ask the technical department to find out the login IP addresses of these banned accounts. Especially those accounts that log in from the same IP address, list them out for me."

"Ah? If you can't even use cheats, why do you care about them?"

The bald programmer was a little confused and looked at An Yi in confusion.

In his opinion, Mihoyo's anti-cheating capabilities are sufficient to this extent, and no cheat can escape the data verification.

Mr. An has done his best by spending twice the server cost to maintain the players' gaming experience.

But it seems that Mr. An still has things to do.

"Because plug-ins cannot be used, they cannot flow into the market, which means that these abnormal data are likely to come from the plug-in makers."

An Yi paused for a moment, then his eyes fell on the 634 abnormal accounts, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he continued: "I want to catch them all in one fell swoop."

The technical director was shocked and said in disbelief: "Mr. An, do you mean to sue them? But they didn't cause any huge losses to our game. I'm afraid they won't be punished..."

"Who said that? If it weren't for these people, we wouldn't have to set up two sets of servers, right?"

After hearing what the programmer said, An Yi looked up at the sky in the distance and said in a deep voice, "Their plug-in really didn't cause any damage, and I won't sue them for this crime."

The technical director was even more confused: "What about you?"

"I'm suing them for stealing confidential data from The Spread."

"what?"

Seeing the puzzled look on the technical director's face, An Yi did not give a direct explanation, but just smiled and said, "Do you think that with their technology, they can easily decrypt our encrypted package?"

"Okay, let's handle this. I'll leave the list to you. Just sort it out and send it directly to the Legal Department. They know what to do."

After seeing off the technical director who was stunned after suddenly realizing the truth, An Yi went out to find Qu Ziyi. He planned to add a new mode to "Spread".

After seven days of fermentation, "Spread" has attracted enough shooting online game players, and it's time to come up with some new modes.

The mutation mode is interesting and full of gimmicks, but a game cannot be operated by just one gameplay, players will always get tired of it.

And if there is no player shooting session, it always feels like it is not a complete FPS game.

It's time to complete "Spread".

Chapter 146: Leave the red envelope and send the person away.

Although the Chinese New Year is still about a month away, when An Yi arrived at the production team of "Spread", the atmosphere here actually gave him the illusion that the Chinese New Year was already here.

Everyone's face is filled with happy smiles.

The success of "Spread" allowed these young people to see that their efforts were recognized by players, and everyone could not hide their joy.

While they were happy, they were also looking forward to the new model that Anyi had mentioned before.
