In fact, in history that Jester was originally familiar with.

G-Pang, who once worked at Microsoft, is a loyal player in PPS games, and he has his own unique understanding of this type of game.

Of course, like this type of player of that era, he could not have become a fan of id software or John Carmack. However, G Fat’s choice was not to join such a game company, which is a game company that diehard fans dream of joining.

It's not that he doesn't have such skills. For a senior Microsoft programmer, technology has never been a problem. Moreover, he has a close friend working in the id software and has a high position. He has a very good relationship with John Carmack, but G-Pang made up his mind and founded the Valve Company after resigning from Microsoft. At that time, his idea was to develop a game as good as "Thor Hammer".

However, "Thor's Hammer 2" was just developed and was exhibiting on e3.

GPang observed this game with the mood of a pilgrimage. His original intention was to see what progress did id have made in this type of game. After all, they are the pioneers and leaders of this type of game.

However, things went against my expectations.

It’s not that id did not do well in "Thor Hammer 2", which disappointed G Fat and didn’t learn anything.

But Carmak and I have done too well in "Thor Hammer 2" and are so outstanding that even G-Pang, who has always been conceited, has lost the competitive spirit because the engine of "Thor Hammer 2" is so powerful that G-Pang doesn't even dare to try.

At that time, G even had the idea of ​​giving up his PS game, turning off the valve, and finding a new job, but soon, he warned himself that he still had a chance.

Because it's very simple. Carmack never hides one thing, that is, he himself may be a top programmer with the least copyright awareness among programmers who do not have all the copyrights. He believes that things developed by a programmer should not be hidden and used by himself, but should be extended to promote the communication of technology.

That is, Carmack is not opposed to others using his engine to develop games.

However, the engine of Thor's Hammer 2 was developed by IR after all, and it was not something that anyone could use if they wanted to. After all, as the most powerful 3D engine in the world at that time, no one was a longing for using such an engine to develop a game.

With such an engine.

Even some third-rate game producers can use a third-rate project to create a game that will attract current players.

Therefore, not everyone is qualified to obtain the authorization of the "Thor Hammer 2" engine. Of course, according to Carmack's personality, as long as he can get the authorization, he naturally doesn't have to spend money.

At this time, the role of g fat in the id software is crucial.

His friend convinced John Carmak and then John Carmak met G Fat. After listening to G Fat’s game development plan, he without saying a word and authorized his latest engine, which is also the engine used in "Thor Hammer 2" to G Fat.

The ps game developed by G-fat later using this engine is called "Half-Life".

One of his players made a Touch D may be more famous for many players. Later, the maker of Touch D also became a formal employee of Valve, and this Touch D is "Counter-Strike" that once changed the entire Ps game pattern.

It can be said that as the two most important games in the PS world, "Thor Hammer" and "Half Life" are closely related to John Carmack.

It can even be said without Carmack that there would not be these two games in history, and the PS game type may not appear in front of ordinary people until ten years later.

But then again, no one would have thought that, including G Fat himself, a small person who was planning the development of "Half-Life" at that time, would become a person who could be compared with a character like John Carmack many years later, and even a vaguely surpassing his reputation. It can only be said that luck is a mess of people.

Jester really made people look for fat on Microsoft.

However, it may be that his butterfly wings have affected the progress of history. At least among the well-known Microsoft engineers, the person he is looking for has not been found.

This also made Jester a little regretful.

Although, even if he knew about G-Pang's existence, he might not fool him into his company.

I just don’t know if "Half-Life", which has had a profound impact on PS games in history, will appear.

"Thor Hammer 4" made a big splash at this year's e3 exhibition, and coupled with the hot sale of "Invincible Heroes" that just released, it sold 500,000 copies in a month. Although I'm not sure this game will definitely sell for one million, as a P-game, and it is a brand new type of game, the sales volume of this kind is already amazing.

The producer of this game, Robert Pardo, is even more famous.

Although he had become famous once when Diablo was successful, the main design work of that game was completed by Jester, and the success of a game still has the element of luck.

The success of the two games at that time was not explained by luck. This means that since the popularity of "Invincible", Robert Pardo has grown into a designer who is independent enough. Most importantly, the game "Invincible" was the key to attracting all of Robert Pardo's attention at the beginning, although the gameplay of Sid Mel's "Civilization" series and the real-time strategy pioneered by Jester himself were the key to attracting all of Robert Pardo's attention.

However, Jester's contribution to this game is just such a game method.

The rest of the game was all Rob Pardo himself, who spent two years thinking about it from scratch and step by step.

Therefore, his development speed was so fast. In just ten months, he developed the game and then successfully released it. Moreover, the sales volume was pretty good. It is said that he also heard a saying that his game is very hopeful to be nominated as the best new game of the year selected by GD.

This made him extremely excited.

GD's best of the year is the Oscar in the game industry now. This Robert Pardo does not expect, but it is also good to get a new work of the year. (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
