I bought Torque 2D years ago also : great editors,physic collisions ... great product !
-------------
Well for T3D it was an obective review, not a fan review
!
- For Torque 3D what i didn't talked is import of 3D models !
I don't have tested it at all with static or animated models !
I use Blender for animaton, and i don't know if exporters for animations work with Blender 2.49 or last ???
- And i just looked at script !
I didn't used it or tested it deeeply, so i can't say
if you can go far enought with script like controlling characters, and anything else enought to make your
own game and gameplay ?
---------------
For 99$ i'm tempted later to spend that money for such bunch
of tools and engine indeed !
But for now, i target little , casual games , engine needs are defined so ...
I'm using A8 for now, it's lot easy to pick it up and it has great documentation also !
------
What lacks on T3D and 3DGS is Android or Iphone support !
Even for basic 3D
!
Mobile market is growing a lot , Android stuff is gaining
terrain a lot, and devices are becoming more and more powerfull !
well ... perhaps in the future ??
