game producer at hogwarts

......

"Okay, I understand. I will let my employees solve this matter in the near future. You can go back."

"Okay, Professor Graves. Goodbye Professor!"

When Hermione, who was at the end, closed the door, Rick began to recall the origin and context of the whole thing.

This matter started a few months ago, after the Pandora 2.0 game console was developed by Light Spot Game Studio Code and others.In order to allow players to adapt to the new functions of the Magic Network system and realize the globalization of the Magic Network system.

Rick specially updated the new version of "The Wizard is Coming" online, adding two modes, the online mode and the S1 season, which require the Demon King system to play.

Online mode, as the name suggests, means that multiple players can use multiple Pandora 2.0 game consoles under the Magic Network system, and they can play games in different regions.Make new friends in different areas at the same time.

The S1 season mode is a competitive ranking game mode.It is a mode specially launched by Rick to encourage players to play more games.Use generous rewards to stimulate players' vanity and let them spend more time in the game.

The problem that Harry and others reported to him about players asking friends to be actors to cheat was related to the S1 season mode.

Some people find that their rankings cannot rise for a long time, so they start to think wrongly.Find some friends to queue up for the game together, and then enter a game room at the same time.

Because the number of players of "The Witcher is Coming" globally has not exceeded 1, it is easy for them to enter the same game at the same time.

As long as it is confirmed that in a game, they, the actors, want to allow a certain player to win and get more points.Starting a negative game, even breaking the rules of the game, betraying his teammates for that player, blatantly cheating.

This behavior seriously affects the game experience of other players and destroys the balance of the game.

Because the game "The Wizard is Coming" does not have a server like those online games in the Muggle world.On Rick's side, each Pandora game console loaded with "The Witcher Is Coming" game crystal is an independent server.

Therefore, Rick did not establish an online game supervision department in his company, and did not have employees to specifically check the battle information of each game.

What is happening now in the S1 season is that actors are invited to play fake games to improve the points ranking. It is considered to be caused by Rick's poor consideration and lax supervision within the game.

"It seems that we have to work overtime today to build a player reporting system and account ban system, so that those who don't play the game well will be punished."

Rick rubbed his wand, stood up and walked to the window, looking through the glass at the last quarter moon shrouded in mist.A decision that went against his routine was made.

"We also need to add a recording system to the game. At the beginning of each game, the game will be recorded by the Pandora game console. When someone reports it, the Demon King system will automatically upload the game to the Light Spot Game Studio headquarters for full-time staff to Review, if it is found that the person being reported cheated.

Then according to the account ban system, players will be notified that you have been reported for cheating or hiring an actor.Because you are reported for the first time, 1000 points will be deducted from you.If you continue to play in violation of the game rules, your ranked match mode will be closed once discovered.

Well, that's pretty much it. "

After initially thinking about how to prevent these players from playing according to the rules of the game in the qualifying match.

Rick came to the clothes rack and took off the coat hanging on it.After putting on his coat and leather hat, Rick walked out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office and walked towards his lounge.

The overtime life of a programmer is about to begin.

......

Two days later, on a train heading to King's Station in England, Rick was sitting on a soft chair in a private room, holding a newspaper and reading it carefully.

Opposite him, two first-year Gryffindor wizards looked nervously at Rick, moving their bodies left and right, rubbing their hands together.

Whoa!

Rick closed the newspaper in his hand and looked up at Ginny and Colin sitting opposite him.

Being stared at by Professor Graves, Ginny and Colin suddenly panicked. They sat upright and tried their best to maintain a calm expression.

"What do you think of the first draft of this newspaper that the two of you made..."

Rick's words instantly made the two of them tense. Colin, who was slightly in a bad mood, squeezed the thumb of the other hand hard with one hand, and his temples were already covered with small beads of sweat.

"Let's talk about the advantages first. Your typesetting is very good, which surprised me. I didn't expect that the typesetting level of the newspaper produced by the first-year students has reached the level of the Daily Prophet. First of all, I have to praise you on this point."

Rick looked at the two nervous people in front of him with a smile.Half a month ago, Ginny came to him and told him that she wanted to start a newspaper at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to provide students with their own newspaper.

She wanted to make Rick an adviser and, if possible, an investor and guidance counselor for the paper.In this way, her newspaper can legitimately sell newspapers in schools.

At that time, Rick was shocked by Ginny's bold idea. He did not expect that Ginny, a member of the Weasley family, would have such business acumen. But could she really run the newspaper alone? Rick expressed doubts.

But seeing Ginny's very determined eyes, Rick pondered for a moment and then nodded in agreement with her request.

However, he also made a condition for Ginny, asking her to prepare the first newspaper for him to review within a month.

If the criteria are met, Rick agrees to become an investor in her newspaper.

He didn't expect Ginny to be able to come up with the first draft within half a month, which surprised him very much.

"Thank you, Professor Graves. I asked Luna Lovegood, a student of Ravenclaw House, for this layout method. His father, Xenophilius Lovegood, was the naysayer. Editor-in-chief. Luna taught me a lot about newspaper layout, such as how many areas a newspaper is divided into, what content is suitable for each area, etc.”

Hearing Rick praise her newspaper for its excellent layout, Ginny's heart finally dropped halfway.

I heard that Ginny’s layout of this newspaper was due to the help of Luna.Rick nodded and continued. "The handwriting is very neat, which is a good job. And the photos of classmate Creevey are also up to standard in terms of the shooting angle and the control of the artistic conception. If you keep working hard to practice your photography skills, in a few years , your skills should be comparable to those of professional photographers.”
