Great to see you guys are moving foreward.

Why the move to Torque? I assume it had to either do with Xbox development or the lack of lightmaps on models?

William. Rebel Planet is based on a huge world and uses terrain very often. Torque supports very huge terrains and can render complex terrain scenes with much entities very fast and smooth. Even entities with very low texture sizes look professional.

I talked with engine developers and they still admire the Torque renderer.

Since Peter is a good programmer he could be one of those that can handle Torque. I think this is not a very easy task. But I wish him success.

If I get it tright, you should use Torque if you are in the terrains, but if yer pr0 in Level geometry (like Bilbo) stay in 3DGS.. I like Level Geometry more than terrains cuz I don't need to code Collisions to it

Torque is good engine, not as good as 3DGS (not after Octrees / BSP choices come). Though also if you can program CScript and incoming Lite-C, I would not recommend moving to Torque (if not willing to learn new Language).

btw,



the roads textures are not placed perfectly, is this fixed already?

You know how difficult it is to get the textures perfectly aligned?

I've noticed that even in the Zelda games had this issue. It would have to be done in Max, where Max would do all that great work, or somehow...Redesigning the level, with perfectly straight boring paths that are aligned along the WED grid. The path texture is always on a surface at various rotations, I see it almost impossible in WED, after rotating and moving the texture, to get it to align at the perfect position to the grass texture. Even if I did make the paths line up with the WED grid so I could make sure that the texures were aligned, then I would be significantly impared in any special designs with the path, it would have to be strickty limited to moving a certain way along the WED grid. Unless there's another way I haven't thought of?

well, I normally make then mor bigger texture ;P and bigger area that holds the whole path. And I know the level of hardness to align them fought with one for three hours to get someow aligned.. it was small.. yeah.. road.

Wow, this game is really awesome Samuel and David! I would have to say its one of the best I've played from 3DGS. A lot like Zelda like someone else said, but the graphics, music and textures are extremely good. The only downfalls I saw were: you wield a sword (which is violence and against the commandments), 8 second loading times on levels that should take 2 seconds, and slow framerates (I'm guessing this is because you're using skins of megapixel size or too high of a poly character?). But the good things about this game far outweigh the bad things. I think the music was really well made, who did it? Great job and keep up the good work!

one big disadvantage i found out.

The riddles are Christian-riddles as far as i know, right?
So people who dont know the bible, doesnt know the answers to the quest o_O

Well at least there were some bible-questions if i remember correct.

So i will never play the game cause i dont know the answers.
