Spirit of the Indie

Disclaimer! These videos are being done by an objective Torque and GarageGames fan.
OldSkool and NinjaBoy have another conversation about Torque and why he's stuck around all these years.
It comes down to some basic differences between Torque and the other game engines and the magic of the underdog.
Thanks to everyone for watching these, I hope to embed some piece of core truth in each one, and my sense of humor may be a little tough to swallow sometimes. They're a lot of fun to make and I will do a few more until an angry rabble pulls me away from the keyboard and forces me to go underground, Max Headroom style.

Yep, I guess I'm like the eminem of game development hehe. It's pretty sweet actually, something that I thought of while making this video. We *have* learned to innovate and find creative solutions while working with Torque. Arguably, this makes for a well defined skillset and a talent for problem solving. As the engines get more mature, we are in a fantastic position to code circles around competitors. Woot!
