John Carmack is developing games for Oculus VR headsets, reports
Engadget based on a conversation with Oculus Rift's Brendan Iribe and Aaron
Davies. Carmack joined Oculus Rift as their CTO last year while maintaining ties
to id Software, the developer he co-founded a couple of decades ago, but it
seemed his game development days were at an end when
he later departed id before this
news that the itch remains. "He's working on a lot of exciting tech," Iribe
tells them. "But, his heart and soul and history certainly lies in the
game-development side." Iribe compares this to how Epic Games supports the
Unreal Engine with internal development. "That's always been Epic's philosophy.
And it's what allowed them to make what they made," he explains. "It's certainly
been id's philosophy in the past. It's been John Carmack's philosophy -- you
gotta eat your own dog food here, and develop internal content also." He wraps
up by telling them they will be hiring more game developers in the next six to
12 months to support their plans. Thanks
CVG.
