I. Definition and purpose of game sub-packaging

Game sub-packaging is a technical means in the process of game development and distribution, which is used to divide game resources into multiple packages for packaging and distribution according to certain rules. In game development, with the increase of game content, the size of game resources will also increase, resulting in the size of the game installation package becomes larger, and the time for users to download and install the game will also increase accordingly. In order to solve this problem, game sub-packaging technology has emerged.

The main purpose of game sub-packaging is to optimize the download and startup speed of the game and improve the player’s gaming experience. Traditionally, developers usually pack all the game resources in a huge installation package, and users need to download all the resources at once when installing the game, which will lead to a long download time, especially in the case of poor network conditions. Game sub-packages categorize game resources according to type, function or scene, and pack them into multiple small packages. When installing and launching the game, users only need to download and load the sub-packages that they currently need, instead of having to download all the resources, thus speeding up the download and launching of the game.

II. Types of game subpackages

Main Package: The main package is the main installation package of the game, which contains the basic logic code of the game and necessary resources, such as the entrance of the game, the main scene, etc. When users install the game for the first time, they need to download and start the game. Users need to download and install the main package when they install the game for the first time.

Subpackage: Subpackages are other resource packages outside the main package, which can be divided according to the design and requirements of the game, such as scenes of different levels, audio, animation, etc. During the running of the game, it is necessary to download and install the main package according to the requirements. During game operation, subpackages are dynamically downloaded and loaded as needed to provide more game content.

Through the game sub-package technology, developers can manage and update game resources more flexibly, and users can download and start the game faster, which improves the user experience of the game. At the same time, it is more convenient to update and maintain the game content, and only some sub-packages can be updated as needed without updating the whole game installation package. Game sub-packaging technology is widely used in modern game development, and has become one of the most important means to optimize game performance and user experience.

III. Benefits of game sub-packaging for publishers

1. Optimizing download speed: Game sub-packaging can split game resources and download them on demand, allowing players to download the game more quickly. This is especially important for areas with poor network conditions or for mobile device users.

2. Saving bandwidth and storage space: Game sub-packaging reduces the overall size of the game installation package, saving the user’s bandwidth and device storage space, so that more players can easily install and play the game.

3. Improve user experience: Game sub-packaging can dramatically reduce the startup time of the game, lowering the user’s waiting time and improving user satisfaction and stickiness.

4. Flexible Updating: Sub-packaging can realize dynamic loading of game resources, so that the game content can be updated and expanded at any time, without the need to re-download the entire game installation package.

5. Version Control: Game sub-packages make version update more flexible, publishers can choose to update only part of the sub-packages without releasing the whole game version.

6. Resource Management: Game sub-packages make resource management more convenient, developers can reasonably divide and organize resources according to the needs of the game content.

7. Adaptation to different devices: Game sub-packaging makes it possible to choose to load different resources according to the hardware performance and screen resolution of different devices, thus optimizing game performance and screen quality.

In summary, game subcontracting is of great significance to publishers. Through the reasonable use of game subcontracting technology, publishers can optimize the download speed of the game, improve user experience, save bandwidth and storage space, and achieve more flexible and efficient game version management and resource update, so as to provide players with a more fun and attractive game experience.
