The Truth being Torque 3D

New user Experience

History of Torque, Mobile Conundrum

Spirit of the Indie

Been a Torque User since 2005, this is very true hence why I am now using Unity 3D :slight_smile:

This made me smile. Thanks. I like it because it doesn’t appear to be bias but just humorously showing what happens a lot between new members and more experienced ones. It seemed to be like one of those mac/pc person commercials.

I see I’m not the only one who’s heard of Xtranormal.

Made me laugh. Hard :smile:

This video was made by a Torque Member that has been a Torque member since 2006. So this is from a view of a 7 year Torque user, not from a new user, so this says a lot.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this turned out to be true. I used TGE 1.3 back then, and my employer wanted to make a fighting game. He asked in the forums and was repeatedly discouraged from doing so because “that is too hard”. I then made the project without bothering with the forums.

It was also actually a heavily-instanced multiplayer online game but with a centralized server that was under the company’s control.

It didn’t do well in the market though, sad to say.

Ha Ha. That was cool. I started with TGE 1.3, but found the pipeline daunting and a lot of the features now in Unity were 3rd party addons. It took me ages to work out how to get a vehicle moving under player control. Now in Unity I’ve got a pretty good vehicle controller with features I couldn’t get my head around in Torque. However i do like Torque 2D.

i liked torque2D except the workflow was incredibly slow (have to singlehandedly create every animations through a long process, and when dealing with hundreds of animations this takes forever) in a very buggy environment.

Tons of small bugs which…bug…me to death. In fact after using it, the only think I actually like is the GUI which seems really easy, and would be nice if there werent so many insignificant tiny bugs.

Torque 2D or TGB is the only thing IMO works for them. T3D or any of their 3D line up were a waste of time. They should scrap it completely and start from ground zero or that one.
