Genius Game Planning

Chapter 58 The Data Comes Out to Shock the Game Industry
This matter was never expected by Liu Neng. In fact, he should have thought of it, but because the game "Happy Farm" was played more than ten years ago even in his previous life, although he has a deep memory of this game, but This automatic script is still selectively forgotten.

Another point is that he didn't expect that such a script would appear within a day.

Now it is only based on client-side operation scripts. If the traffic is hijacked later and the data is modified, it will be even more painful.

Liu Neng called Zhang Jie, Qian Weijie, and Ye Qun to talk about the current situation, "I will come up with a plan as soon as possible, and I would like to ask your opinions on how to avoid this kind of script, and it may be possible in the future." The plug-ins that appear, these are all things that need to be considered by us.”

"I can encrypt the content on the client side, which is like adding a layer of shell, like a small dark room, making it difficult for them to parse. But this does not mean that it is impossible to parse. If you study hard, you will definitely be able to parse the client. After all, the information is sent through the web page." Ye Qun said simply.

The operation and maintenance of the server also gave a general overview of his own ideas. After Liu Neng agreed, he immediately asked a few people to write the framework by hand. The subsequent optimization plan will be released that night.

At the same time, the server also focused on checking the data, and punished those players with abnormal data for three days.

As for their complaints to the "official" QC, that is a matter for Ascendas and has nothing to do with Liu Neng and his game studio.

In fact, immediately after the incident happened, there were a large number of posts asking for scripts and selling scripts on the game forum of Tengfei Company. The money ranges from 1 yuan.

By the way, Liu Neng also bought some scripts and let the program reverse programming to look at it. The working principle is similar to what he thought before.Those high-priced scripts with the name "never title" are actually not much different from low-priced scripts. Zhang Jie saw their way of hijacking server data, thought about it, and told Liu Neng a new anti-cheating method. Mechanism, and then quickly added to the optimized version.

Before leaving get off work that afternoon, the optimized content had already been completed.In the morning of the next day, as usual, I checked the "Happy Farm" game section of the Ascendas company's forum. I continued to hang up and reported it a few times, but these stores or products were removed from the shelves and replaced by a more covert way to continue selling scripts.

Trying to ban scripts by cutting off sales channels will probably not work.

In the morning, I tested the optimized version again, and then pushed it to Ascendas, so that they can arrange an update after the test is correct.

The update of web games is different from the update of client games. Even if the so-called server shutdown is required, in many cases it only needs to be disconnected once and it is OK.The client loads data in real time, and there is no update problem. It is nothing more than clearing the cache and reloading.

In the afternoon, Tengfei Technology, who worked hard, had already updated the optimized version. At the same time, Hu Yuehai also called him to tell him about the update.Liu Neng continued to let Qian Weijie look at the player data, and sure enough, the amount of data sent has stabilized, and he is no longer in a state of charging.

He suddenly found it interesting that the qc group of a few farms selling scripts that he secretly joined yesterday in order to find scripts had already started to become chaotic:
"Group leader, group leader, my account is banned, didn't you say that it is impossible to seal my account?"

"Mine has also been banned. Although it's only been three days, the level will drop after three days!"

"Boss, the script can't be used anymore, take a look! What the hell!"

"..."

There was chatter and bluffing in the group, and I watched several groups in a row, all of which looked similar.In fact, these scripts are just some automatic operation scripts based on web pages, and they are not complicated and easy to do.When it was launched yesterday, tens of 10 or even millions of people were attracted to play "Farm", and tens of thousands of people used the script. Although each person only has a few dollars income, but there are many people who can't stand to buy it, and they really make a fortune, and those who earn a lot even earn tens of thousands of dollars a day.

The group leader was stunned, "How the hell would I have thought that it would be so complicated for a broken web game? Everyone, don't worry, I will update the script immediately, and I promise that they will have nothing to do with us!"

"Hurry up! Can you find a way to unblock it?"

Group leader: "How can I have that ability!"

"Then my account is blocked, who can I go to?"

"..."

There is a flurry of excitement on online shopping sites. Yesterday, quite a few bought accessories in stores that were very good, and they all received five-star praise.But today, the account was directly banned, and I was stunned. Thinking about it, I can still follow up the review. I immediately went up for a while and revised the bad review. Those shops that have soared into the sky are now falling into the ice cave, really making me want to cry without tears.

Anti-cheating and anti-plug-in of web games has always been a very difficult thing, because it is not possible to add a detection mechanism to the player to detect whether the player has opened some "special software" without downloading the client. According to the player's data situation to "judge" whether to cheat.

After this turmoil, the game of "Happy Farm" gradually stabilized, and then it was time for users to expand rapidly.A few days later, the mature version of "Happy Farm" was also launched on Wan Binglin's "Happy Net".Compared with Ascendas' qc space, the SNS social network is also suitable for the gameplay of "Happy Farm".

Liu Neng purchased several more virtual servers for this purpose, and after bearing another wave of pressure, the data tended to stabilize.

Eight days later, on the 8rd, the seven-day retention data came out, reaching a crazy 23%.Liu Neng doesn't really care about this data. What he cares more about is that the number of players in this game and the total number of registered players have reached more than 72.5 million in just a few days.This is definitely a data that shocked the industry.

Liu Neng published this data on his personally registered qc space and on Happy Online.Some domestic game media also smelled something unusual. After seeing certain data, several media outlets immediately published relevant introductory articles:
ICG: "The First Year of Social Games: Young Genius Game Producer Liu Neng's New Games Sweep Social Networking"

Homeless Space: "Li Yuanzhe talks about <Happy Farm>: The simulation business game is not only for stand-alone! "

Game Monkey: "800 Million Players: The Space for Our Imagination Given by Social Games"

……

Although a social game like "Happy Farm" is a simulation business game, it cannot be compared to ordinary games, especially the revenue data of this game is not particularly good, but after all, let everyone see a possibility—— Players like this type of game. In a sense, it has pointed out a way for some game manufacturers to let them know that the game does not have to be the kind of serious time-killing game.
