Genius Game Planning

Chapter 57 The Birth of Automation Scripts
Naturally, it is impossible to rely on natural traffic, such a good opportunity, such a good time window, if we only rely on natural traffic, then I am too sorry for the crazy traffic that "Happy Farm" brought to qc space.

Liu Neng reminded Hu Yuehai, of course, he also had his own ideas before this, advertising investment is a must, and then there are a series of promotional plans, such as "the most popular person in space" and "speak your voice" and other activities. Real money is invested in some activities, allowing users to publish articles spontaneously, guiding more users to join and open the space.

Of course, the joint promotion of "Happy Farm" is also indispensable. Hu Yuehai asked his staff to quickly make a document of the operation plan and send it to Liu Neng and the others, and then arrange the timetable as soon as possible, so that they can update the game as soon as possible. The first operational release.

Liu Neng is actually very reluctant to this kind of temporary new version update.After communicating with Hu Yuehai, he postponed the subsequent version development task. Hu Yuehai was quite strange, "This kind of temporary new version is actually very common. Brother, why do you have such a big resistance?"

"Because I don't want to work overtime." Liu Neng replied truthfully.

Hu Yuehai, who was stunned by one sentence, didn't know how to answer the following words, so he had to postpone the follow-up version for a week.For the operation of the game as a whole, it doesn't really affect much.In "Happy Farm", it is not easy to upgrade to the highest-level field in ten days and a half months. Even for paying users, it will take nearly a year to upgrade to the highest-level field.

Moreover, there are not many payment points in "Happy Farm", including the purchase and training of dogs, the purchase and use of fertilizers, the purchase of some special seeds, etc. According to Liu Neng's idea, a user's contribution of 30 to 50 yuan is considered too much. Yes.A game with an aurp value of 30 is actually a very failed product in a sense.

But "Happy Farm" is different. It is qualified to be a game for the whole people. At its peak, tens of millions of players are playing this game.If calculated according to this, I am afraid that there will be more than one billion in revenue.Different from those other MMOs, the server expenditure of this game is actually very small, so the moisture of these revenues is very small.

What's more, the purpose of this game, for Ascendas, is to encourage users to open qc space. From the current point of view, this purpose has been achieved, and the purpose has been achieved to a very high standard.It is understandable that Hu Yuehai wanted to take this opportunity to strike while the iron was hot and launch a new operating version to make the fire even more prosperous.

Liu Neng took a brief look at the operation plan. It was nothing more than inviting friends to get special seeds; players who invited the most friends could share gold coins and so on.After looking at it for a while, it was nothing more than a problem with some operational function interfaces. It took almost a week of development work. After roughly scheduling the construction period, I gave Hu Yuehai a reply.

When I came back at noon, I took another look at the data. The number of registered users had exceeded 200 million. It reached a peak at noon, with more than 140 million online at the same time, and then dropped rapidly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Neng invited the planning and operation personnel over for a meeting. Even Peng Shuang, the copywriting planner, was also invited to briefly explain why the data showed this way.Many times, planning requires careful thinking. For example, a mature planner can analyze the data waveform according to the type of game.

"Happy Farm" is a weak-network simulation development game that does not require players to be online all the time, and it is strongly not recommended that players be online all the time.His game mode is that when the player is resting, he can go online to click a few times, harvest and steal vegetables, water and weed; so at noon, when the player is resting, it is very reasonable to click on it to operate a few a simulated scenario.If inferred according to this mode of thinking, the big peak will come at night.

However, there are some problems with this taken-for-granted derivation. For example, many people have computers in the office, but do not have computers at home, and therefore cannot access the Internet.In this scenario, it seems that the number of people online at the same time will decrease again at night.It is actually relatively reliable to analyze the reasons based on data; to deduce data based on experience, there are often many variables that cannot be added, causing the results to be distorted.

When several people here were still discussing in a meeting, Qian Weijie suddenly broke in, "Boss, there is a problem with the server, and the data is abnormal."

Liu Neng frowned and left the conference room, "What's the problem?"

"The number of simultaneous online players has not increased much, but our data packets are getting bigger and bigger, many clients request data more and more frequently, and the server load is almost reaching the upper limit."

"Solve the problem first, then find out where the problem is, add a new server, and do it immediately." Liu Neng said calmly, data packets are sent frequently, and data requests are becoming more and more exaggerated. Words are a serious load.Liu Neng called Qian Weijie again, "Add two more backup servers, and make sure that there will be no problems. If the traffic is too heavy, the server will not be able to carry it, so it will be diverted to the new server immediately. Remember not to shut down !"

Qian Weijie nodded and said he understood, and then got busy in a hurry.

Liu Neng went into the conference room and asked a group of people to end the meeting first. He went back to his work station and leaned back in his chair to think about what was going on. He opened the forum under Ascendas, and after a quick glance, he knew what the problem was.

Lots of posts, in promotional scripts.The script is actually an automatic operation command for the client by some knowledgeable people. After reading the script function mentioned in the post, he can basically determine that the culprit is these scripts.The script is not the only one, and the names are various, such as Kobe plug-in, panda plug-in, Australian wombat, etc., the functions provided are similar, most of them are as follows:
1. Automatically harvest the food grown by oneself;

2. Select a fixed seed, automatically plant, water, catch insects and weed;

3. Automatically select players who need help, and help other friends water, catch insects and weed;

4. Automatically steal food!
"This fucking never expected that the game was only launched in the morning, and it's only past three o'clock in the afternoon, and there is already a cheat!" Liu Neng almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, which is too efficient, don't come It's such a shame to develop games.

Liu Neng immediately called Hu Yuehai, "Delete all the posts selling automatic scripts in the forum, otherwise my server will be paralyzed sooner or later!"

Hu Yuehai also just found out about the situation, and it wasn't even his company that found out and told him, but someone among his qc friends was already selling scripts publicly.He also immediately went to the boss of the qc business department to briefly talk about the situation. Several people made a decisive decision and could not delay, and blocked the script that appeared as soon as possible...

　There was actually a chapter missing yesterday, which is quite painful.

　　So I added three chapters today, sorry, I must pay attention to it in the future.
