Chapter 1042 City Server

"Raymond is a talent that Lin Feng never wants to waste!"

This woman can definitely make a god and lead a game-opening team. Talent cannot be wasted! no way

As for Gates, Lin Feng had already planned to bring him up from the "Fourth Game Beginning". Let him focus on the plan for the position of vice president. With the expansion of "Second World", there are more and more game development departments under it, and the mutual coordination and communication between various game departments are becoming more and more important. The operation needs to be handled by one person, and Wu Zhaopu is not a suitable candidate. He himself He is not a computer major, and he has no solutions to many problems that arise in game design. Wu Zhaopu is a management talent, but not a talent who can handle details (involving games).

On the contrary, Gates can make gods. He is a senior game programmer himself and has also founded a company. Have management skills in this area. Although he is not good at management, what Lin Feng needs him to do now is to coordinate the work among the top ten game departments to resolve related resource allocation and some differences. This job does not require high communication skills, not a lot of high eloquence, but more professional skills. Gates is no doubt a great fit!

Finally, after some discussions. Jed Raymond has resigned as Head of Game Engine Development. Served as the "(fourth game development department. Minister, responsible for the development of "Assassin's Creed". At the same time, Jed Raymond also served as a senior consultant in the game engine department, continuing to improve her "ergonomic system".

As for Gates, he resigned from the post of "Fourth Game Development Department". He will focus on the position of vice president, responsible for coordinating the work among the top ten game departments, and concurrently serving as the "Game Engine Development Department" director.

There was a burst of applause in the meeting room. A round of applause for Ged-Raymond's success! Lin Feng's appointment this time had a great impact on everyone. Although the "game engine development department" is a key department of the company, since the "game engine" has already been perfected, it is only being repaired at present. The major game development departments only call the main body of the game engine. Afterwards, they will optimize according to the different games they develop. Therefore, although the "game engine opening" seems to be important, it is in the "second world. The status is not as good as other game openings. This is also the reason why Ged-Raymond was able to serve as the head of the "Game Engine Development Department".

Now Lin Feng asked Gates to step down from the "Fourth Game Opening Department". The post of minister was transferred to Ward Raymond. "Second world. "As long as you have talent, you will never be buried. This is good news for everyone, because you don't have to worry about not being able to apply what you have learned.

"Lin, "War of the Worlds" has entered the final completion period. At present, the blade electronic maps of major cities around the world have been produced, and the post-production work is in progress. Weapon settings are already in the beginning of the sixth game. Minister Min Wu Yili said.

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up. "War of the Worlds" is "Second World.

It is the masterpiece of the next ten years. Now, after 3 years of opening, it is finally coming out. After three years of development and an investment of more than USD 2, how can such a game not be expected.

"Minwu, are there any technical problems about "War of the Worlds"?" Lin Feng asked.

Lin Feng is also looking forward to "World War" very much, but it may also be because of too much expectation that Lin Feng is afraid of failure. Such a game, once it fails, the consequences are not just losses. The fee of US$ B will not only become the laughing stock of the industry, but also a great blow to the confidence of the developers. Once it fails, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Lin, there are two troubles now." Minwu Li frowned. During the development of "War of the Worlds", the unsolvable problem was solved, but now there are two problems that Min Wu and Li cannot solve, or in other words, they cannot be solved unilaterally.

"What's the problem?" Lin Feng asked.

"Lin, there are two problems. One is the performance of the computer at home. Although we have optimized the game engine to the greatest extent, since this is a world war, a world war covering the whole world, the game we designed will It is a huge battle with tens of thousands of people. In the face of such a huge battle, the current computer performance of the players cannot meet the needs. At that time, I am afraid that it will not be able to give the players a refreshing sense of battle. This problem is not simply relying on software. It's solved!" Min Wu Yi Li sighed helplessly.

For "War of the Worlds", he has optimized it as much as possible. In the past three years, it can be said that most of the time has been spent on optimizing the game engine. But technology has its limits. At least at the current level of technology, Minwu-Li does not think that the game industry can do more than his game development team. Let’s talk about it! Teng 4 is cool, and the graphics card, plus... memory, but even with such a mainstream configuration. Playing "War of the Worlds", it can only carry loads of people at most, that is to say, in the same game scene, If there is a battle of thousands of people, the game will be stuck.

Only a thousand people will get the card, but what about ten thousand people? What about even more people?

Although, in the same game scene, according to statistics, the density of players will not exceed four. Otherwise, there will be no way to get through, but Min Wu Yi Li must take everything into consideration.

Lin Feng nodded, this problem was noticed by Lin Feng a long time ago.

"Minwu, I already have a solution to this problem, I'll talk about it later. You talk about the second problem!" Lin Feng said.

Min Woo Lee nodded.

"The second problem is the number of players the server can carry." Min Wuyi Li thought of this problem even more.

The original purpose of "War of the Worlds" was to develop a first-person shooter game covering players all over the world, but the question now is whether the current Internet can support players from all over the world to play on the same server Woolen cloth? This question, Minwu Li knew it was impossible even if he thought about it with his ass. How many fans of first-person shooter games are there in Quanshu? If you count the open beta of the server, I am afraid that the global player base will exceed 800 million. Even on average, there will be 30,000 players online every hour. Of course, this algorithm. It is the simplest algorithm. In fact, due to the different time differences between countries, the average number of online users will be too much. This number is undoubtedly terrifying.

No matter how advanced a computer is now, it is impossible to calculate such a huge amount of data. You know, "War of the Worlds" is relaxing. What's more. The player's computer can't even bear the load.

Regarding the question raised by Min Wu and Li, Lin Feng was also distressed, but just recently Lin Feng also came up with a solution, but it was not mature enough. It's time to bring it up for discussion.

"Minwu, I have a solution for this problem. There is only one server for the entire "World War II", and the super computer will act as the server. As for the number of super computers, it can be determined according to the actual situation." Lin Feng said.

Everyone frowned. How does this work. Even if the "Second World" is willing to spend money and use hundreds of super computers to do the calculations, the player's computers can't handle it, and the Internet can accept it! Tens of millions, maybe even hundreds of millions of traffic, which will cause network congestion. Even if there is "cloud computing", it will not work. sometimes. Problems with hardware. It's really not something that software can solve.

"Indeed," cloud computing. It is not a panacea, and software cannot fundamentally solve hardware bottlenecks. But the use of reasonable allocation and planning, but can solve this problem. "Lin Feng said confidently.

Everyone was stunned, not understanding what Lin Feng meant.

"It's very simple, use one server for the whole world. But we can set up classified servers according to different cities!" Lin Feng said.

Classification server? Everyone was stunned again, and Lin Feng proposed a new term.

"Yes, it's a classified server. Build a server based on a single city, so that you can distribute the huge number of players around the world. Reduce the load on the server." Lin Feng said.

"But how do you connect the world like this? The biggest selling point of "War of the Worlds" is that global players can create gods and connect with each other, but how can they be connected in this way?" Min Wuli was a little puzzled.

"Hehe, it's very simple. Although players are divided into servers in various cities, the data of all players in the world is shared. For example, players in Guangzhou, China want to attack Daling in Japan. Then you only need to apply to the system. The system will The interconnection channel between the two regions will be temporarily opened. The temporary increase of level calculation will assist it." Lin Feng said.

"Then do players from other regions want reinforcements?" Minwu Yili asked.

"Similarly, you can apply for reinforcements to the system. Increase the number of servers and increase the bandwidth according to the need. This will save money to the greatest extent!" Lin Feng said.

Everyone was stunned. Thinking about it carefully, this is undoubtedly a very good way. It can not only meet the requirements of global interconnection, but also save money to the greatest extent.

"So what about the communication between players in different cities?" Minwu Li thought of this question.

"This is simpler, there". Well. We can make gods to embed "." Then there will be no problem at all, and through the ". server, we can also save costs!" Lin Feng laughed.

Everyone was stunned. (to be continued)
