Yeah , Torque has definately left gamestudio way behind. The torque engine , it's tool set , and it's many diff engines , including the torque XNA , are all far superior than gamestudio's outdated A7. If Conitec doesn't get on the ball , I dont really see GameStudio surviving much longer , it's almost irrational to use it at this point , there's just so many superior alternatives which are sometimes even cheaper. I've grown used to using gamestudio , and i'm very familiar with it's interface , so I still use my A6 for development , however , I dont plan on ever getting A7 , as when I get some free money I will more than likely be buying TGEA. And it's not just the engine , it's its GarageGames comitement to it's software , when you go to Graragegames website , it's full of content , they have a couple of different engine editions , tools , content packs (from models to music and snd fx , ect...), Torque books , and even games , they will actually publish your game if it's good.

Gamestudio still has it's horrible homepage page with A7 , and thats it. It's the same as it's always been , and so is the engine , a completely outdated pile of crap. Sure there's the AU Resources , but name one thing other than scrips thats usable from there ? I honestly dont see any reason to even use gamestudio anymore , other than because i've grown accustomed to it over the years , but if I was getting into game development , I would have to be insane to choose gamestudio over torque. I dont know , I've used gamestudio for about 5 years , and have always loved it , and in fact always prefered it over torque , but recently it really seems like the Torque people are really pushing their technology , making it better , more user friendly , and reaching out to higher demografics , allowing you to publish for PC , Mac , and now even Xbox360 , while with gamestudio you still can only publish for Windows and A7 actually become much less user friendly than A6 was , I dont know , but it almost looks like Conitec doesnt really care for Gamestudio anymore, I dont see any desire from them to push it above it's competition , it's like they just kinda keep it alive and resell it with a couple of upgrades here and there every couple of years.I can almost assure you , that unless gamestudio makes some major changes , In the near future , it's going to be left forgotten in the past.
