I purchased it just for testing it, at a reasonable price, after expiring the one month trial since I have got a very good impression
Torque ?
The new engine may be good , not yet available as far as I know, but the "classic" Torque is simply horrible

People are complaining about the lack of documentation
I went through Game Core 2.0, well I could grasp the basic principles
Torque's doc is, or at least it was, when I tried this engine an insult to the common sense

You dont notice shadows in game ?
Arent' they important for a game , do you mean ?

Why dont you just use opengl or direct x then ?
Everybody can design an " essential " engine...no shadows, no advanced animations, no shaders, none of such useless stuff

Come on , you must have some prejudice against Game Core
