Torque 3D 1.0 Released
As many of you game-developer types (you know who you are) may have heard already, the new flagship of GarageGames, Torque 3D, has now been released.

Here's the announcement.

From what I have seen, this new engine is pretty dang sharp. There's no faultin' it there. I haven't played with the tools or anything yet, but some of the videos showing them off have been nice.

Price-wise, they have aimed a bit higher than the company has done in the past, going after the "prosumer" market. It's not outside of the realm of indies, but the current licenses available are more for serious small-studio commercial developers (indie or not) rather than the hobbyist. They've expressed consideration for another licensing option which does not include source code for the lower-end market, currently entitled the "artist" license, but they have not yet committed to it.

UPDATE: GarageGames (and Dynamix) founder Jeff Tunnell looks back on the announcement that the older engines, TGE and TGEA, will be retired and no longer for sale in one month.
