Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to network game systems and methods, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a user-alterable network game system and method that provide users with greater liberty and flexibility in editing network games at a user's end.
2. Description of Related Art
Computer games being primarily played in a single-unit machine used to be a mainstream before the popularity of network games. In view of the inferior Artificial Intelligence (AI) compared with human intelligence, there were very limited source of fun and pleasures that players could gain and enjoy from playing games on a single-unit machine. Although a minority of games such as Total Annihilation, Red Alarm, and Starcraft can be played by linking to a local network or via number-dialing, such games can only be shared by a few users (generally less than 8 users altogether), thus limiting the time for sharing the play, lacking variety and humanity due to a number of limitations.
With the rapid development of networking technology in recent years, various sorts of bandwidth techniques have enabled transmission speed over the internet to get faster and faster and thus multiplayer network games have become increasing popular. These games are played across a computer network, for example the Internet or World Wide Web, and permit a significant number of geographically dispersed and distant users to participate simultaneously in a single game. As network games uniquely feature in allowing multiple players to play synchronously over the internet, thus providing users and players with much greater interactivities or challenges that an old-time single-unit computer game cannot possibly compete and thus become an important source of entertainment for people to spend and enjoy their leisure time with, specially among youngsters.
Concurrently, an ordered and gradually expanding network game industry has emerged as a result of a continuous progress of networking technology. In addition to the inherent industrial values in network games per se, it also affects relevant fields including industries of telecommunication, electronic communications, electronic mails, software, culture and media, facilitating development of economy as a result.
The existing system configuration of network games is primarily constructed to comprise a network game server terminal with a plurality of network game user ends. Under such system configuration, network games are set up by network game designers and do not permit alterations by the users. After a network game user has adapted himself to certain interface configuration of games, it is often difficult for a user to readapt to a new interface configuration due to the established old habits, and even many would just give up playing certain games merely due to the unaccustomed interface configuration. Consequently, network games designed by game designers are known to lack variety and thus decrease game players' interest after a while of playing. To counter this problem, there is provided an alterable network game interfaces in the market that allow the users to alter network game interfaces as required. However, in fact, this method is merely done by compressing packets of game pictures and providing the same in said game installation catalogs, such that the user can make simple modifications or use similar pictures to substitute the original pictures in order to achieve the purpose of modifying the game interface. In such a method network game users can only modify or produce game pictures based on the original pictures but are unable to change the size, the interface configuration, or the control items of the interface. Moreover, since a user cannot choose from multiple interfaces when changing new pictures, it is necessary to copy new pictures into the installation catalog of a network game user end each time any pictures are changed so as to cover the existing pictures, making the process extremely inconvenient and inefficient to accomplish.
Further, as far as the contents of network games is concerned, except for settings of game pictures and audio music sound effects, the events in the games are of most importance since the normal proceeding of a whole game is based on a combination of a series of game events. However, the events of the existing network games are usually done by game producers and then fixedly installed in a server end, allowing only game developers to have access to modifications of game events. Due to the cost and manpower concerns, game developers are often unable to change the game events in time to satisfy the constant demands for variety and novelty, and more than often the modified game events fail to satisfy the demands as lacking freshness after a first time play, thereby adversely decreasing the value of games per se.
Therefore, there exists a need and is highly desirable for the industry to provide an open system and method that allows network game users at a user end to edit network games as required.
