The same scene as the University of Kansas and Malan University is repeated here again.

"John, here."

John Carmack heard the news and went over. After seeing Liu Zhiyuan waving to him, he walked over with a smile.

"Hi, Mr. Liu."

Compared with the shy Tim Sweeney, John Carmack is much more active, but there is a reason. At the same age, the same 19 years old, Tim Sweeney has not yet stepped out of society, while John Carmack already wears multiple hats.

, and he has even sold several software developed by himself.

"Mr. Liu, are you here to invite me to the Han Dynasty?"

"Yes, I wonder if you are interested, John?"

John clapped his hands excitedly and said in his unique sharp voice.

"Of course, I'm very interested, but I don't know what I'm going to do? Can Mr. Liu tell me about it?"

"Develop a game software, and you will be responsible for this project."

It is true that Tim Sweeney is a genius, but there is a difference between geniuses. John Carmack is the most genius. A test paper is worth 100 points. Both Tim and John can easily get full marks. 200 points is better than two

It's not too difficult for people, but at 500 points, the gap between the two becomes apparent.

As two geniuses in the software programming industry, the biggest gap between the two is their thinking. To be honest, there is almost no technical gap. John Carmack's thinking is so different from ordinary people that when he was in high school, he was called

"Geek".

The father of 3D games, the father of FPS games, the god of programmers, and the gods in the gaming circle. Listening to these titles, you will know how talented he is. The god of programmers may still be controversial, but this range has been reduced to

God of game programmers, no one would have any objection to that.

"Okay, when does it start?"

John's excitement subsided. He just developed a program, which was a bit different from his expectations.

Liu Zhiyuan immediately saw what John was thinking, and he said with a smile.

"This software is crucial to the Han Dynasty. How far the Han Dynasty can go in the future depends entirely on them."

Hearing Liu Zhiyuan's words, John's eyes lit up.

"Really? That's great. Can I stay in the Han Dynasty for a long time?"

Long term? Liu Zhiyuan secretly laughed in his heart, you have to come to the Han Dynasty for a lifetime! This kind of genius is the only one in this world! Liu Zhiyuan cannot let him go no matter what.

No one stipulates that a company can only have one game engine. Unreal Engine is very good. Although Unreal Engine is the most popular engine for 3A masterpieces, Unreal Engine is not without its shortcomings. Liu Zhiyuan is not worried about the cost. Unreal's cost is very high.

, but the principle that you get what you pay for remains unchanged. Haoyi .haoetvxs.

His main concern is Unreal Engine's ability to consume hardware. Unreal Engine's performance capabilities are too strong, although there are small flaws such as a greasy picture.

This is destined to be a high-end engine, and the one that can match it must be a super 3D masterpiece. It is too unpopular. Many games after the Han Dynasty actually do not use this engine. It is not a matter of money, but

As a matter of time, Unreal Engine has been criticized by many people for having too many problems when using it. There are 100 macros at the beginning, and as soon as you enter one macro, it immediately jumps to another 100 macros. Not many programmers can bear this torture...

The engine developed by John Carmack, the father of the 3D engine, makes up for this shortcoming. Extremely low hardware requirements can be exchanged for relatively good performance. This is what Liu Zhiyuan needs most now.

Even if the Unreal Engine is developed, it has no use because the hardware can’t keep up! The Unreal Engine is a bit too advanced in this era, but John Carmack’s engine has no problems at all! His engine has always been known for its high efficiency. How efficient is Doom? Because of this engine, Doom has directly become the most installed game on PC before 2000. Try switching to Unreal Engine and try again? I’m afraid Doom won’t be able to sell 10,000 copies because it can support Unreal Engine. Hosts are sky-high prices!

"You can stay as long as you want. When your project is developed, I have a more fashionable project here that I can hand over to you then."

If it was just for the engine, Liu Zhiyuan wouldn't be so interested in John Carmack. What he wants is John Carmack's unrestrained thinking, which will bring the Han Dynasty's technical reserves to a higher level, although for technology research and development, Creativity is very important, but technology is fundamental. He does not have time to specialize in researching technology. This is putting the cart before the horse.

"Oh, by the way, if this project can be realized now, you will definitely leave your name in the gaming industry. The Han Dynasty still has a lot of shares."

Whether it is Tim Sweeney or John Carmack, such people cannot be retained without shares. In the future, money is no longer important to them, status and reputation are what they pursue.

"Wow...cool, I remember a Chinese idiom, "Mingming will leave a lasting history," is this how it is described?"

John Carmack speaks fast, that's his style, the complete opposite of Tim Sweeney, who speaks slowly.

"Then how many shares can I get?"

He was too confident. With the development of the Han Dynasty, he was the first person to ask for shares from him. Others either had already promised to him before, or they did not dare to ask.

"It depends on your ability, but the minimum guarantee is 2%. If necessary, I will set up a subsidiary and you will get 49% of the shares of the subsidiary."

2% of Han Dynasty’s shares must be very attractive to the current John Carmack, but I can’t say for sure later. 2% is really a bit low for a company’s software technology director, but he can’t promise too much. , there will definitely be many people who want to take this share after the Han Dynasty.

Suzuki Yu, Tong Zixian, Xu Xiang, they don't have it yet! If they don't say it, it doesn't mean there will be no such thing. They will definitely be given in the future. Liu Zhiyuan's plan is that the shares of the Han Dynasty will be used as a symbol of status. , he will establish several subsidiaries.

For example, Unreal Engine Company, Yu Suzuki's game development company, etc. They will become the actual leaders of those subsidiaries, and the profits from 49% of the shares will be enough for them to make a lot of money.

This is not a subsidiary that is responsible for its profits and losses. The Han Dynasty will support them. Other conditions are not negotiable. But in any case, in Liu Zhiyuan's heart, his bottom line is that he must hold 51% of the shares. He will not allow Han Dynasty to support them. There is no sign of any internal crisis in the dynasty! When his dream is realized, the shares of the Han Dynasty will be given away.

"I'm excited, boss, when are we leaving? I can't wait to show off my skills."

"Don't worry, the Han Dynasty still needs many energetic talents like you. Are you interested in accompanying me to meet them?"

"Okay, who made you the leader, but to be honest, since the Han Dynasty has me, it doesn't really need other programming talents."

John Carmack's words sound very arrogant, but this arrogance was cultivated by others. At the age of 11, he independently developed programs and successfully sold them. In high school, he began to work part-time as technical director of major programming companies. It would be hard to change anyone.
