Chapter 290: Blizzard’s Cooperation

Mike Mohami saw Lin Feng's look in his eyes.

"Haha, Mr. Lin, I don't know how your company manages it, but at Blizzard, we don't pay much attention to employee discipline. We will not suppress the nature of employees. What game programmers need is not discipline, but creation. Creation.

It comes from life, a person who is always orderly, rigid and without interest will not have any creativity." Mike Mohami seemed to see Lin Feng's doubts and explained with a proud smile.

Lin Fengruo realized something and nodded deeply.

Then the two went to Mike Mohami's office.

"Mr. Lin, I wonder if you have any advice for coming to Blizzard this time." Mike Mohami asked with a smile.

"Mike, let me be blunt. I came here this time to ask Blizzard whether it has a self-developed 3D engine? Or is it planning to develop a 3D engine?" Lin Feng asked straight to the point.

Mike Mohami was slightly startled, secretly guessing what Lin Feng meant by his words.

"Mike, you and I should both understand that future computer games belong to the 3D world, and an excellent 3D game cannot be separated from 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' has just acquired 'valve'. Isn't their 'havok engine' an excellent 3D engine?" Mike Mohami said calmly.

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

Mike Mohami was worried. Blizzard is indeed developing its own 3D engine. Blizzard will launch "Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos" next summer. At the same time, it is currently developing a 3D action game called "StarCraft - Ghost".

The game naturally has its own 3D engine, but I don’t know where Lin Feng knew about it.

"Yes, we do have our own 3D engine technology. I wonder what Mr. Lin Feng means..." Mike Mohami admitted frankly after hesitating.

"Haha, now in the industry, the "Unreal Engine 2" engine is the dominant one. I hope to develop better 3D engine technology than "Unreal Engine 2", but we can't do it alone, so I want to cooperate with Blizzard." Lin

The wind said.

"Cooperation, how to cooperate?" Mike Mohami perked up. Blizzard's 3D engine technology has always been unsatisfactory due to technical limitations, and there is an urgent need for an extremely excellent 3D engine. But Blizzard because of its own company's games

The philosophy is different from that of most 3D game companies on the market. Blizzard's philosophy is to allow mainstream configurations to play all Blizzard games. Therefore, Blizzard has not purchased engines such as "Unreal 2" that overly pursue gorgeous graphics. There is currently no breakthrough in technology.

Now, Blizzard can only try its best to work on optimization.

"valve"'s "havok engine" was highly favored by Blizzard, and it had intended to purchase the right to use its 3D engine technology. However, subsequent copyright disputes between "valve" and Snow Mountain Company, and the subsequent merger with "Second World" also caused

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 the 3D engine technology is shared." Lin Feng said seductively.

Mike Mohami's eyes lit up. Although the "havok engine" is not the best engine in the industry, it is famous for its smooth action scenes and smooth refreshment. It coincides with Blizzard's philosophy. Blizzard is now better at optimizing.

The two companies can indeed complement each other. But no matter how you look at it, it is your company that takes advantage in this regard, and Lin Feng has no reason to be so kind.

"Haha, the development funds will be borne by your company. I think considering the current leading technology of the 'havok engine', this condition is not excessive!" Lin Fengxiao said.

Mike Mohami nodded, this request is indeed not too much.

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

Mike Mohami frowned. Although Blizzard still did not suffer too much, Mike Mohami would not easily agree to this condition.

In the end, after some bargaining between the two, "Second World" and "Blizzard Entertainment" reached an agreement to jointly develop a new 3D engine. In the end, "Second World" held 55% of the ownership and Blizzard Entertainment held 45% of the profit distribution.

Once the news of "Second World" and "Blizzard Entertainment" cooperating to develop a new 3D engine was announced, it caused quite a stir in the industry. Both are the most prosperous computer game companies in recent years, and this cooperation can be said to be a powerful one.

United, many giants in the gaming industry have lamented that the computer 3D game market will be turbulent again in the future.

Previously, "id-software" had firmly occupied the throne of the 3D game leader with the "Quake" 3D engine technology. However, before it got too hot, it was surpassed by epic's "Unreal" engine. Epic took over the "id-sofware" company's

Pass the baton and become the best 3D game company in the computer game industry. Now it seems that Epic may not be able to sit on the top position for long.

The most surprised by the joint development of a new 3D engine by "Second World" and "Blizzard Entertainment", and the most angry person is naturally Epic's president Mark, who just arrogantly refused Lin Feng to purchase the technology of his company's "Unreal 2" engine

Quan, who would have expected that just one day later, Lin Feng would reach a cooperation agreement with "Blizzard Entertainment" to jointly develop a 3D engine. This was like a slap in the mouth.

Next summer! Mark has learned that "Half-Life 2" from "Second World" and "Warcraft 3" from "Blizzard Entertainment" will be released at the same time next summer. Mark is also preparing to release his own "Unreal 3" at the same time.

Then let the market prove whose 3D engine is better and who is the dominant player in the computer 3D game industry!

Mark clenched the teacup in his hand bitterly.

After reaching an agreement with Mike Mohami, Lin Feng strolled on the streets of Irvine City. Clean and refreshing roads, green sidewalks everywhere, and a well-planned urban layout. This was the first time that Lin Feng had such a dream.

A city like this. No wonder most wealthy people in the United States live in such small cities. It makes sense. Living here can lead to a longer life. Of course, even though this city is small, land prices are not cheap.

Ordinary people really can't afford it, and housing prices are not much cheaper than Silicon Valley in the United States, where land is at a premium.

The rich live in the "countryside" and the poor live in the city. - The living habits of the United States are indeed correct.

Lin Feng was walking casually on the street when he accidentally saw an old man walking leisurely on the streets of Irvine City accompanied by his family, pointing at the surrounding buildings from time to time.

What a happy family! - Seeing this family so happy, Lin Feng seemed to be infected with their happiness, and couldn't help but think of his parents who were far away in Chu City. It was time for him 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, if he goes back now, it will definitely cause a big sensation), Lin Feng just called to report that he was safe. He wanted to

My parents were moved to Shanghai, but neither of them wanted to go there. When Ye Luo returned to his roots, there was no reason to leave his hometown when he was old.

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

There are also those relatives. Although there were some misunderstandings in the past, I should not hold grudges too much now and should be tolerant. Maybe I should buy them a suite in Chu City and let everyone live together. Of course, I will definitely not

Living under one roof would cause more troubles. Lin Feng wondered whether he should follow the example of "England's golden boy" Owen, who bought a street and let many relatives and parents live there. In this way, everyone would be taken care of and lively.

There will be no unnecessary conflicts caused by living under the same roof. With my current financial resources, although I am still "poor", compared to the purchasing company, I am buying in an underdeveloped second-tier city in Chu City.

The next street is still more than enough.

"Young man!" Just as Lin Feng was thinking, the old man shouted to Lin Feng.

"Uh, old gentleman, are you calling me?" Lin Feng was slightly stunned, not sure, and pointed at himself.

"Haha, it's you, young man. Let me ask you, what do you think of this city?" The old man nodded and asked. The children around him shook their heads with helpless smiles.

"Haha, old sir, this city is simply a dream city. I think if I could live in this kind of city, it would definitely be the happiest thing in my life!" Lin Feng said without exaggeration.

After hearing this, the old man suddenly smiled and looked proud.

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

of pride.

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

Lin Feng felt a burst of heartfelt appreciation, and the color on the old man's eyebrows became darker.

"Haha, sir, I'm sorry. My father is 73 years old and is a bit 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. Old people are like children, and being able to design such an ideal city is indeed worthy of pride. Lin Feng suddenly felt something in his heart.

"Mr. Pereira, with all due respect, can I ask you a question?" Lin Feng asked respectfully.

"Say it, kid!" William Pereira said with a smile.

"Mr. Pereira, our company wants to build a building that can represent our company's image and style, and people will know it is our company's building at a glance. But everyone has no unified opinion, and they don't even know which building to hire.

What kind of architect, can you give me some advice?" Lin Feng asked respectfully.
