Chapter 1000

Jade Raymond is a talent Lin Feng never wants to waste!

This woman can definitely lead a game development team. Talent is not wasted! never!

As for gates, Lin Feng has long planned to bring him up from the "fourth game development department" and let him focus on the post of vice president. With the expansion of "the second world", there are more and more game development departments, and the coordination and communication between the game departments are becoming more and more important. This needs to be handled by one person. Wu Zhaopu is not a suitable person. He is not a computer professional. He has no solution to many problems in game design. Wu Zhaopu is a management talent, but not one who can deal with the details (involving the game).

On the contrary, gates can. He himself is a senior game programmer, but also created a company, has this management ability. 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 solve the relevant resource allocation and some differences. This job does not require much communication skills, not much eloquence, but more professional skills. Gates is undoubtedly very suitable!

Finally, after some discussions, jade Raymond resigned as the head of the game engine development department and became the head of the "fourth game development department", responsible for the development of Assassin's Creed. At the same time, jade Raymond is also a senior consultant in the game engine department, and continues to improve her "Ergonomics System".

As for gates, he left the post of "the fourth game development department" and put his energy on the post of vice president. He is responsible for coordinating the work among the top ten game departments, and also serves as the director of "game engine development department".

In the conference room, there was a burst of applause. Applause for the success of jade Raymond! Lin Feng's appointment has a great impact on the public.

Although the "game engine development department" is a key department of the company, because the "game engine" has been improved for a long time, it is only repairing at present. The major game development departments only call the main body of the game engine, and then optimize it according to the different games they develop. Therefore, although the "game engine development department" seems to be important, its status in the "second world" is not as good as other game development departments, which is why jade Raymond was able to serve as the head of the "game engine development department" at the beginning.

Now Lin Feng has asked gates to step down the post of "the fourth game development department" and transfer to jade Raymond. This shows Lin Feng's absolute talent oriented attitude, and also proves that in the "second world", as long as he has talent, he 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 learn.

"Lin," World War II "has entered the final stage of perfection. At present, 3D electronic maps of major cities in the world have been completed, and the later stage of perfection is in progress. The final trajectory correction of weapon setting is in progress, and the "Ergonomics System" is also in the final improvement. "“ Minwu Li, Minister of the sixth game development department, said.

When they heard the words, their eyes lit up《 World War is the masterpiece of "the second world" and the masterpiece of the next decade. Now, after three years of development, it is finally coming out. Three years of development time, investment of more than 1 billion US dollars, such a game, how can not be expected.

"Minwu, is there any technical problem about world war?" Asked Lin Feng.

Lin Feng is also very much looking forward to the world war, but it may also lead to the fear of failure. Once the development of such a game fails, the result is not only a loss of $1 billion in development costs, but also a great blow to the confidence of developers. If it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Lin, there are two troubles now." Minwu Lee frowned《 In the course of the development of World War II, we have solved two problems that minwu Li can't solve, or he can't solve unilaterally.

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

"Lin, there are two troubles. One is the computer performance of players. Although we have optimized the game engine to the greatest extent, because it is a world war, a world war covering the world, what we are designing will be a huge battle for tens of thousands of people. In the face of such a huge battle, the current player's computer performance can not meet the demand. At that time, I'm afraid it can't give players a straightforward fighting sense at all. This problem can't be solved by software alone! " Minwu Li sighs helplessly.

For World War, he has optimized the game engine as much as possible. In the past three years, he has spent most of his time optimizing the game engine. But there are limits to technology. At least at the current level of technology, minwu Li doesn't think that the game industry can do better than his game development team. However, minwu Li has simply tested that with the current mainstream configuration, the CPU is Pentium 4-1.8g, geforce3tai200-64m graphics card, and 512M DDR memory. But even with such a mainstream configuration, playing World War II can carry up to 1000 people. That is to say, in the same game scene, if there is a thousand people war, the game will be blocked.

Just a thousand people will get the card. How about ten thousand people? Or even more?

Although, in the same game scene, according to statistics, the player density will not exceed 2000 people, otherwise, it will be crowded, but minwu Li must take everything into account.

Lin Feng nodded. Lin Feng had noticed this problem for a long time.

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

Minwu Lee nodded.

"The second problem is the number of players on the server‘ Minwu - Li thought of this problem is a headache.

The original purpose of "World War" was to develop a first person shooting game that covers players all over the world. But now the question is whether the current network speed can support players all over the world to play on the same server, even if the computer performance of the players is ignored? Minwu Lee can't even think about this problem.

How many first person shooters are there in the world? Minwu Lee did a survey, about 500 million people. If the idea of "World War" is taken into account, once "World War" is launched in public beta, I'm afraid the global player base will exceed 800 million. Even on average, there will be 33 million players online every hour. Of course, this algorithm is the simplest one. In fact, due to different time differences in different countries, the average number of people online will exceed 70 million. This number is undoubtedly terrifying.

No matter how advanced the supercomputer is, it can't calculate such a huge amount of data. You know, world war is 3D. What's more, the player's computer can't load.

Lin Feng has also been troubled by the problem raised by minwu Li. But recently, Lin Feng has come up with a solution, but it is not mature enough. Now it's time to discuss it.

"Minwu, I have a solution to this problem. There is only one server for the whole world war, and supercomputers will serve as servers. The number of supercomputers can be determined according to the actual situation. " Lin Feng said.

Everyone frowned. How can this work? Even if the "second world" is willing to spend money and use hundreds of supercomputers to calculate, the player's computer is unable to load, and the network speed is affected! Tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of traffic, which will cause network congestion. Not even with cloud computing. Sometimes, the problem of hardware can't be solved by software.

"It's true that" cloud computing "is not everything. Software can't fundamentally solve the bottleneck of hardware. But with reasonable distribution and planning, this problem can be solved. " Lin Feng said confidently.

They were stunned. They didn't understand what Lin Feng meant.

"It's very simple. We use one server all over the world, but we can set up classification servers according to different cities!" Lin Feng said.

Classification server—— Everyone was stunned, and Lin Feng put forward a new term.

"Yes, the classification server. In a single city as a unit, the construction of the server, so that we can divert the huge number of players around the world, reduce the load of the server Lin Feng said.

"But how can it be globally connected《 The biggest selling point of "World War" is that global players can be connected. But how can they be connected? " Minwu Lee doesn't understand.

"Ha ha, it's very simple. Although players are distributed in different city servers, the data of all players in the world is shared. For example, if Chinese players in Guangzhou want to attack Osaka in Japan, they just need to apply to the system, and the system will temporarily open the Internet channel between the two regions, and temporarily add supercomputing to assist them. " Lin Feng said.

"What about players from other regions who want reinforcements?" Asked minwu Li.

"In the same way, you can apply to the system for reinforcement. At that time, increase the number of servers and increase the bandwidth according to the needs, so as to save money to the greatest extent! " Lin Feng said.

All of a sudden. If you think 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.

"What about the communication between players in different cities?" Minwu Lee thought of it.

"It's simpler. With QQ, we can embed QQ, so there's no problem at all, and we can also save costs through QQ server!" Lin Feng smiles.
