John Carmack Interview
Oh, and he also said concerning leaving the video game industry completely:
Someone hold me!
8/16/04 - id's Next Big Game
Whats up you Monkeys!
This thread will encompass any and all information about id's next game. At Qcon, Carmack gave his annual technical presentaion and eluded to some information about the next game they will be working on. Instead of appearing live on stage like he normally does, he filmed his talk so it could be played before the audience. In the beginning he apologized profusely, mentioning that his baby "trumps all other concerns," According to a gamespy article, this seemed to get a good "chuckle" from everyone. (For the record, the new baby -- born Friday -- is in great health.)
Anyways, this is what we know so far about the new game:
- id's next title will be a first-person game, and although it will focus on single-player it'll have a basic multiplayer function such as DOOM 3 does.
- It'll focus on single-player, much like DOOM 3.
- id Software's next big game would be a whole new license: not DOOM, not Quake, not Wolfenstein, and no, not even Commander Keen.
- The next game for id Software will be a departure from anything they've done before. (this could be interprited many different ways)
- The company doesn't want to spend another four years on their next title.
- Carmack estimates that he'll have the game engine renderer done in less than a year.
- He also estimated that the art team will be able to start creating media for the new engine within the next month.
Things are moving fast! I'll keep everyone posted.
