Think about it, computer hard drives are now used to use 512G, and there are even solid-state hard drives with T. Smartphones are only 16G, which is not as big as a USB drive.

So it is definitely not realistic to develop large-scale games.

When the player has limited memory, he will definitely be very cautious when playing the game.

At the same time, it will also be affected by mobile bandwidth.

3G is not popular yet in China, and the 2G network speed is simply touching, not to mention the fees that need to be paid for traffic every month...

Therefore, the game installation package must be compressed to a relatively small range so that players will be willing to download it.

Foreign countries should be slightly better. The mobile network level of Miribang is relatively developed, especially the Bangzi country. Although their countries are small, they are definitely the world's leading mobile communications. The mobile network speed is very fast, about 17 times that of China's network speed.

...

After hearing Cao Yang's explanation, everyone nodded in understanding. Everyone still had a relatively consensus on this.

The game installation package is too large, such as Shanhaijing, which will take up more than 20 GB of space after installation. Bomi's smartphone cannot be played at all, so Boss Cao chose to let everyone develop some simpler games.

Among the games developed, if arranged according to the size of the package, it should be:

Monument Valley is greater than Angry Birds is greater than Thunder Fighter is greater than Fruit Assassin

The one that accounts for the largest amount of the body is definitely "Monument Valley", because they are basically art resources, and the art materials for each level are different.

But what is the solution? It was not chosen by Boss Cao himself. Every level in the Monument Valley is designed by Boss Cao.

In fact, the game itself is not very complicated in the program, and the space it occupies is relatively small, while art resources are the big ones.

Therefore, those that can be reused and appear randomly can save a lot of art resources.

There are too few reusable art resources in Monument Valley, and Cao Yang is the most clear about this. The size of this game installation package is estimated to be around 500 M.

In an era of 8G mobile phone memory, it is intolerable.

"So I want to develop a subcontract download function." Cao Yang said.

"Ha?" Deng Peiqiang and Ma Hao made a voice in confusion at the same time.

The smartphone has not yet come out, so naturally the concept of subcontracted download is not as deep as the future. Now that the hard drives of computers are developing rapidly, players basically don’t have to worry about insufficient space for their hard drives.

But smartphones are just starting out and they will definitely be used in the future.

"It's similar to PC games now. Divide a game into several independent parts and then package them separately." Cao Yang explained, "Take Monument Valley as an example. If we let players obtain the entire Monument Valley game at one time, the size of the package may be around 500M. After installation, it is expected to be 800M to 1 G. This is an unbearable thing for players.

At this time, we need to cut the game, for example, the data in the first 5 levels is a pack, which looks about 200M, and then the following will be done in the same way.

When the player needs to play the next level, we prompt him to download the new package."

"Well..." Deng Peiqiang held his hands and thought about what Cao Yang said, "From a technical perspective, this should not be a big problem. As long as the art and planning are labeled according to different versions and divide the package."

This set of technology is actually quite mature on PC, such as subcontracting downloads, breakpoint transmission... These are often used by online games, but now they are just moved to mobile games.

It is not a big problem for Deng Peiqiang. As long as the program can identify which packages are 1.0 and which packages are 2.0, there is no problem. When the player reaches 2.0 packages, the system will automatically download them.

"We provide two ways to download subcontracts," Cao Yang thought for a while, "the first type is inquiry. This method is used for games with larger packages, because it needs to occupy the player's mobile traffic and provide a choice to let the player choose whether to perform subsequent subcontracts downloads. And we tell them the size of the package, otherwise it will easily cause quarrels."

"Yes." Deng Peiqiang and Ma Hao nodded and recorded them in their notebooks.

"The second type is the mode of downloading while playing," Cao Yang smiled, "For example, Angry Birds, the size of the body is not as big as the Monument Valley, and players are completely acceptable, but we provide the initial body only 100M, which allows players to play quickly, and then download the subsequent subcontracts from the background while they play the previous levels.

This will make the player experience better.”

"Okay." Deng Peiqiang recorded the design needs that Cao Yang said.

This part of the technology is not very difficult, it just takes some time to do it.

Deng Peiqiang felt a little overwhelmed.

Although he is often called a big head in college because he is too big, he is even bigger now.

When he raised his head, he happened to see a strange smile on Boss Cao's face.

In fact, there is a demand. Although Cao Yang knows it, he has not mentioned it yet-

In addition to this horizontal cutting method, Bomi actually needs to provide another loose packet subcontract download method and automatic packaging system.

The reason why there is no development plan for the time being is that the complexity of mobile games has not yet reached it.

These functions will only be needed if you achieve the peace elite or competitive King of Glory in the future.

Speaking of which, the requirements are very simple, which is to create a [personalized customized packaging] system, and automatically package the skins they do not need according to the different usage rates and needs of different players for skins to save game space, and then subcontract and download them when players need to use them.

For example, if you are a hero who often plays the shooter position, a hero like Zhao Yun may not have that much demand for you, and you will not buy Zhao Yun's skin, so Zhao Yun's skin will be automatically hidden to save your game space and make the game process smoother.

But these are all things in the future.
