Chapter 59 Why is there always a feeling that I am working for employees?

After more than a week of internal testing, Minister Cui handed in the game test feedback report of "The Legend of Anti-Japanese Heroes".

After all, the power of one person is limited, although Li Ang is very confident in his planning ability, but he is not arrogant enough to think that the game "The Legend of Anti-Japanese Heroes" has been completely perfected. There may be a lot of small problems in the game that have not been discovered because of his blind spots, or other things that are worth improving, and if you want to make the game better, you need other people's help to check and fill in the gaps.

This is also one of the reasons why he established this technical department in the first place, most of these programmers have just entered the society, and have not been poisoned by the development concepts of other money game companies, and they still maintain a certain innocence and conscience in their hearts, and can basically look at the game as an ordinary player, and their suggestions may not be professional enough, but they are more pertinent.

After Minister Cui stepped down, Li Ang opened the feedback report.

Unsurprisingly, the first issue they asked was the capacity of the game. The installation package of the game is up to 99G, and the game folder after installation will even reach 120G, which will be a severe test for the player's network condition and hard disk capacity.

In recent years, after the continuous acceleration of the three major network operators, most cities in China have popularized 10M, 20M home networks, and some developed areas have even reached 50M, 100M, and the network download speed has increased exponentially.

But such a network download speed,For a 99G installation client,It's still very reluctant。 In terms of the highest 100M network, theoretically speaking, its maximum download speed is almost 10M per second, and the 99G installation client is equivalent to 101376M, which is almost 10138 seconds, which is 3 hours. If it is a 10M network, it will take 30 hours.

The theoretical speed is after all the theoretical speed, which is difficult to achieve, especially during the peak period of the network at night, often one-tenth of the download speed cannot be reached.

The game is over for most of the day, which is still a big blow to the player's enthusiasm for the game.

For this problem, Li Ang does not have a good solution, after all, this is a hardware problem, the network provided by the network operator is like this, and the download speed cannot be mentioned as soon as it is mentioned. After thinking about it, Leon only came up with two solutions.

One is to discuss with Penguin Company, so that they can provide enough bandwidth for the download of the installation package of "The Legend of Anti-Japanese Heroes", try to ensure the download speed at the download node, and let players download the game as close as possible to the theoretical maximum speed.

The second is to separate the installation package, which can be installed in a USB flash drive and copied to others for installation. In this case, let's say a college dorm room, if one person downloads the game, then the others don't need to download it.

There is also a way to directly distribute game installation CDs, and there are prizes for installing games. But it's more difficult to implement.,After all, most computers don't install optical drives now.,People can't install game installation CDs when they send out them.,So,Or rule out this method.。

Neither of these methods can fundamentally solve the problem that the game installation package is too large and it is difficult for players to download, but with the current conditions, it can only be like this.

As for the problem of hard disk capacity, it can only depend on the player's consciousness to delete some small movies or something to make space. After all, a computer, no matter what, there is still a mechanical hard disk with 1 T, and it is not difficult to vacate a quarter and install a 120G game.

Of course, the best way is to reduce the capacity of the client to 20G, 30G and the like, which can be done in less than a second for a third-order artificial intelligence lifeform, but the technical strength shown in this way is too amazing.

"The Legend of the Anti-Japanese Heroes" has a huge framework, a time span of 14 years, and the content covers the entire Anti-Japanese War, of which there are countless plot CGs, with current technology, it is already extremely good to be able to compress to 99G. For the sake of his own safety, Li Ang still decided to be safe and not change the size of the installation package.

The second question asked by the employees was the opening CG, which they felt was too long.

From the appearance of the sea, the protagonist pilots the aircraft into the Tower of Babel, then into space, into Moon City, returns home, conducts experiments, and finally crosses. This entire opening CG lasts almost 12 minutes.

This opening CG is naturally very gorgeous and shocking, but today's players are different from before, they are used to fast-food games, used to fast-paced, in the face of such a lengthy title, they are likely to press the [ESC] button to skip without watching it, and then go directly to the game.

However, the content of this opening CG is extremely important, it narrates the background of the protagonist, explains the origin of those magical props on the protagonist, and is indispensable in order to allow players to better bring into the game.

Fortunately, this time the technical department put forward its own proposal.

There is only one way for players to watch this entire opening CG without getting bored, and that is to make this opening CG a part of the game! The zero level of the prologue before it becomes the first level! Since it's the game itself, you can't skip it.

At the beginning of the game, the player will be free to control the flying machine and fly freely!

They will then be given a direction to move forward with a destination signage.

Players are free to walk around the Nine Tower of Babel and observe this man-made miracle structure; Race on the interstellar highway and race against a variety of flying machines; Walk between the high-rise buildings of Moon City and see the moon city of the future world...... Until the aircraft runs out of energy and the level fails.

After having had enough of playing in the futuristic world, in order to pass the level, they will naturally return to the laboratory, conduct a time machine experiment under the guidance of the mission, and then fail the experiment and travel to 1931.

Of course, all of these freedoms are limited in scope, with invisible walls of air blocking the player's ability to avoid running into any strange places.

This kind of small modification doesn't take long, and it takes less than a second to talk to the artificial intelligence.

The third problem is that the game is too difficult.

Of course, the difficulty here is not the difficulty of killing all sides with various future items, but the difficulty of completing the task when not using items.

For example, in the first level, prevent 26 devil Kwantung Army soldiers from coming to Dagou Village, if you don't use props, it will be a nightmare difficulty for players.

The ghost soldiers in the game AI are very high.,It's not the kind of stupid thing that doesn't fall with a shot.,After being attacked,,They will find cover to hide.,Will rescue and support their companions.,Will quickly find the enemy.,Run away when you can't fight.,Will leave people behind.,Will cover with firepower.,Most people have good marksmanship......

On the eve of 918, the Fusang Kwantung Army stationed in the northeast was all the elite of the Fuso Army, with a strong physique and neat equipment, and they had at least 11 months of professional military training.

It can be said that it is almost impossible to eliminate such a team of devil soldiers with only such a rudimentary weapon as a pitchfork.

So, the task of the first level is to stop, not eliminate. It is also possible to collect enough information in the village without using knives and guns, and then solve it peacefully.

But most of the other levels need to be solved violently, and once too many magical items are used in the early stage, the later levels will turn each one of them into a nightmare difficulty and become a real hardcore game, which is very unfriendly to the opponent and the disabled player.

Of course, this problem is not unsolvable. For example, adding a level difficulty option allows players to freely choose the difficulty of the game, and the easy mode makes all the ghost soldiers stupid.

But if you do so, it will go against Leon's original intention of making this game, so, after careful consideration, Leon still rejected this suggestion and maintained the original difficulty of the game.

Then there's the fourth, and the most popular: the suggestion to change the name of the game.
