Vol 2 Chapter 290: Blizzard's cooperation

Chapter 290 Blizzard's Cooperation

With Lin Feng's look, Mike Mohamed looked at him.

"Hehe, Mr. Lin, I don’t know how your company manages, but at Blizzard, we don’t care much about employee discipline. We don’t suppress the nature of employees. Game programmers need not discipline, but creativity. Creation. It comes from life. A person who is well-organized, rigid and has no interest will not have any creativity." Mike Mohamed seemed to see Lin Feng's doubts and explained with a proud smile.

If Lin Feng understood, he nodded deeply.

Then the two arrived at Mike Mohamed's office.

"Mr. Lin, I don't know what advice you have when you come to Blizzard this time." Mike Mohamed asked with a smile.

"Mike, then I will be blunt. I came here this time to ask whether Blizzard has a self-developed 3D engine? Or is it going to develop a 3D engine?" Lin Feng asked straightforwardly.

Mike Mohamed was taken aback for a moment, and secretly guessed what Lin Feng meant by this.

"Mike, you and I should all understand that future computer games belong to the 3D world, and an excellent 3D game cannot do without an excellent 3D engine. Is your company interested in developing a better 3D engine?" Lin Feng continued.

"Mr. Lin, as far as I know, ‘Second World’ just acquired ‘valve’, isn’t their ‘havok engine’ an excellent 3D engine?” Mike Mohamed said lightly.

"Mike, the'havok engine' is good, but I need a simpler and more optimized 3D engine. I believe your company must have plans in this area, or is already developing it." Lin Feng guessed.

Mike Mohamed's heart is tight. Blizzard is indeed developing its own 3D engine. Next summer, Blizzard will launch Warcraft 3 Chaos Reign. At the same time, it is currently developing a 3D action game called StarCraft-Ghost. Own 3D engine, but I don’t know where Lin Feng knew it.

"Yes, we do have our own 3D engine technology. I don't know what Mr. Lin Feng meant..." Mike Mohamed admitted frankly after hesitating.

"Hehe, now in the industry, the Unreal 2 engine is the only one. I hope to develop a better 3D engine technology than Unreal 2, but we can't do it with our family alone, so I want to cooperate with Blizzard." Lin Feng said.

"Cooperate, how to cooperate?" Mike Mohamed lifted his spirits. Blizzard’s 3D engine technology has been unsatisfactory due to technical limitations, and there is an urgent need for an excellent 3D engine. However, Blizzard’s game philosophy is different from most 3D game companies on the market. Blizzard’s philosophy is to allow mainstream configurations to play all Blizzard games, so Blizzard did not purchase an engine that overly pursues gorgeous graphics like Unreal 2. Now that there is no technological breakthrough, Blizzard can only work **** optimization as much as possible.

Blizzard’s "havok engine" of "valve" is highly optimistic, and it was interested in buying the right to use its 3d engine technology. However, there was a copyright dispute between "valve" and Xueleshan Company. Blizzard put the matter on hold. Unexpectedly, Lin Feng came to the door today.

"We share resources, I provide the ‘havok engine’, and your company provides your 3D engine for joint development, and then 3D engine technology sharing." Lin Feng said temptingly.

Mike Mohami’s eyes brightened. Although the "havok engine" is not the best engine in the industry, it is known for its smooth action graphics and unobtrusive refreshment, which coincides with Blizzard’s philosophy. Blizzard is now better than optimization. Homes can indeed complement each other. It’s just that no matter how you look at it, your company is taking advantage in this respect, and Lin Feng has no reason to be so kind.

"Hehe, the development funds are borne by your company. I think this condition is not excessive based on the current leading technology of the'havok engine'!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Mike Mohami nodded, this request is indeed not excessive.

"Also, after the new engine research is successful, I will account for 60% of the future profit sharing." Lin Feng said his request.

Mike Mohamed frowned. Although Blizzard is still not too disadvantaged, Mike Mohamed will not easily agree to this condition.

In the end, after the two bargained, "Second World" and "Blizzard Entertainment" reached an agreement to jointly develop a new 3D engine. In the end, "Second World" had 55% ownership and Blizzard Entertainment had 45%.

"Second World" and "Blizzard Entertainment" cooperation to develop a new 3D engine news was announced, causing quite a stir in the industry. The two are the most prosperous computer game companies in recent years. This cooperation can be described as a strong alliance. Many game industry giants lament that the computer 3D game market will be surging again in the future.

Previously, "id-software" relied on Thor's Hammer 3d engine technology to sit firmly on the throne of 3d games. As a result, before the **** was hot, it was surpassed by epic's Unreal Engine. Epic took over the baton of "id-sofware" and became the present The best 3d game company in the computer game industry. Now it seems that the boss position of epic may not last long.

"Second World" and "Blizzard Entertainment" jointly developed the new 3D engine most surprised, and the most resentful is naturally the president of epic, Mark, who just arrogantly refused Lin Feng to buy the right to use the Unreal 2 engine technology under his company. Unexpectedly, just a day later, Lin Feng and Blizzard Entertainment reached a cooperation agreement to jointly develop a 3D engine, which was like a slap in his mouth.

Next summer! Mark has already learned that next summer's "Second World" Half-Life 2 and "Blizzard Entertainment" Warcraft 3 will be launched at the same time, and Mark is also preparing to release his own Unreal 3 at the same time, and then let the market prove who owns it. The 3d engine is better, who is the overlord of the computer 3d game industry!

Mark squeezed the teacup in his hand bitterly.

After reaching an agreement with Mike Mohamed, Lin Feng wandered the streets of Irving City, with clean and refreshing roads, forested sidewalks everywhere, and a well-planned urban layout. This is the first time Lin Feng has come to such a dream. Like a city. It's no wonder that in the United States, most wealthy people live in this small city, and it does make sense. Living here can have a long life. Of course, regardless of the small size of the city, the land price is not cheap. The average person really can't afford to live, and the housing price is not much cheaper than that of Silicon Valley in the United States.

The rich live in the "countryside" and the poor live in the city. ——The living habits of the United States are really right.

Lin Feng walked casually on the street, and unexpectedly saw an old man strolling leisurely on the streets of Irving City accompanied by his family, pointing to the surrounding buildings from time to time.

What a happy family! ——Seeing that this family is so happy, Lin Feng seemed to be infected with their happiness, and he couldn't help but think of his parents who were far away in Chu City. It's time to go back to Chu City. Since arriving in Shanghai, Lin Feng has only gone back once. Especially after the "9.11" incident, because he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to his parents (after all, he would definitely cause a big sensation when he went back now), Lin Feng just called to report that he was safe. I wanted to take my parents to Shanghai, but the two elders were reluctant to go to Shanghai. Ye Luo returned to his roots, there is no reason to leave his hometown when he grows old.

In the end, the persistence of the two elders caused Lin Feng to compromise.

And those relatives, although they had some misunderstandings in the past, they should not hold too much grudges anymore, and should be tolerant of others. Maybe we should buy them a suite in Chu City so that everyone can live together. Of course, I would definitely not live under one roof, and there would be more trouble like that. Lin Feng wondered whether he would like to learn from Irving, the "Golden Boy of England", to buy a street and let many relatives and parents live. In this way, everyone usually has a caring and lively, and at the same time, it will not cause unnecessary conflicts because of living under one roof. With his current financial resources, although he is still "poor", it is more than enough to buy a street in an underdeveloped secondary city in Chu City compared to the buying company.

"Young man!" Just as Lin Feng was thinking about it, the old man shouted at Lin Feng.

"Uh, this old gentleman, are you calling me?" Lin Feng was taken aback for a while, not sure, pointing to himself and asked.

"Hehe, it's you, young man, I ask you, what do you think of this city?" The old man nodded and asked. The children around him shook their heads with a helpless smile.

"Hehe, old gentleman, this city is simply a dream city. I think if I can live in this city, it will definitely be the happiest thing in my life!" Lin Feng said without exaggeration.

After hearing this, the old man suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked smug.

"Haha, this gentleman, I'm sorry, this is my father William Pereira, he is the designer of this city." The middle-aged man beside the old man explained, but he couldn't hold back the words. Proud of.

Lin Feng was taken aback. He didn't expect that the old man in front of him was the designer of this dream city. It is really admirable to design such a dreamy city.

Lin Feng's admiration from his heart made the color of the old man's eyebrows thicker.

"Hehe, gentleman, I'm sorry. My father is 73 years old, a little like a child, but this is indeed a great and admirable project." Pereira's son was embarrassed and continued to explain.

Lin Feng smiled and said he didn't mind. People are like children in old age, and it is indeed worthy to be proud to be able to design such an ideal city. Lin Feng's heart suddenly moved.

"Mr. Pereira, if I take the liberty, can I ask you a question?" Lin Feng asked respectfully.

"Go ahead, kid!" William Pereira said with a smile.

"Mr. Pereira, our company wants to build a building that can represent the image and style of our company, so that people will know that it is our company's building at a glance. But everyone does not have a unified opinion, and they don't even know how to use it. What kind of architect, can you give me some advice?" Lin Feng asked respectfully.

"Sir, I'm really sorry, my father is getting older, in this regard..." Pereira's son was afraid that his father would use his brain because of his age, and he quickly discouraged him.
