This Is The End

This is it folks. No lengthy, sentimental post with pictures and digging up ancient memories this time. The lights are going out and this is goodbye. This website is shutting down, so get and read what you can while it's up.
GarageGames and everyone who has been involved with it has had a tremendous influence on the game industry. Whether you were an employee, a Marble Blast player, a Think Tanks player, an Orbz player, a Torque developer, an InstantAction player, a Legions player, and so on and so on, just know you were greatly appreciated. Employee, gamer, community member, hobbyist, whatever. I hope all of you enjoyed your time with GG as much as I have. At this point, GG has reached legendary status...and you know what they say. Legends never die.
Couple of links worth bookmarking:
Active Torque Community
GarageGames GitHub
discord:

github:
github.com/torquegameengines
And that's all there is to say. Take care!

The old GG website may fade into the past, but as Fluffy points about above, Torque continues!
Me, got my next game, with Torque, registered for demoing with Steam's Next Fest in June.
Pours one out for the old GG site, starts singing country and western about lone women and dying and horses ... (but the T3D discord is going strong!)

I'm hoping the site will be up for at least another two days so that the archives can finish. If it can't, we'll save what we can. Thank you for doing what you have. Good luck.

Seven for the Gaming-lords in their halls of gaming cons,
Nine for tireless Men doomed to crunch,
One for the Computer Science Lord on his Super Computer throne
In the Land of Game Dev where the Shaders lie.
One Engine to rule them all, One Engine to make them,
One Engine to develop them all, and in the dark nights bind them,
In the Land of Game Dev where the Shaders lie
Thanks for the awesome tech and some great years.
