HTC Full Demo is Now Available !
You can download this demo HERE after filling registration form.
HTC HowTo is ready
You can find this tutorial HERE. It cover many subjects, including HeightField Manipulation, Textures Creation.
The Beta is Over
I Wanted to thanks all people who give me the Will to continue in creating this tool, espacially all peoples who send me mails, replies to my .plans, or who have contact me by Messengers.
I Want also thanks peoples who have made so nice screenshots HERE.
I keep in mind these users testimonials :
Fail66 : How long does a 16x16 take, roughly? Hopefully not as long as Terragen.
Josh Moore : Mountain ridges and ravines are generated nicely.
Stephen : I'm really going to enjoy working with this tool.
Ryan Neighbour : Thanks for making this tool. It's awesome!
Don Hogan : Thanks very much for taking this on, I've spent more time in TSE working with this than anything else!
Robert Rice : I went with the concept of "what is the least amount of work I can do and still get some decent landscapes?" I was quite taken with the results.
Nigel Symes : Those automatic, beautiful shadows are what really made my jaw drop.
Thanks to every One
What price for this tool?
Before putting a price to this tool, I ask users what they thing about the right price for a such tool.

I would suggest conferring with the GG crew on what Ben has up his sleeve as the features he creates will have impact on your tool and vice versa. This is the biggest variable in the 'value' of your tool.

I would definitely pay for this myself, ~$25 range seems 'comfortable' to me although I am hesitant to purchase anything for TSE until the release. After release of TSE 1.0, ~$50-$100 is a reasonable mark for any serious indie developer for a robust tool with a useable feature set considering the vast time savings map builders will gain (I would actually pay higher depending on feature set, but not sure others would).I would suggest conferring with the GG crew on what Ben has up his sleeve as the features he creates will have impact on your tool and vice versa.

You can't buy it for now, for three reasons :
1) I'm watching the best way to sell on the internet
2) I don't know the price :) (perhaps have you an idea of how much you will give for a such tool)
3) I'm still waiting a GG team response about torque store.
I will send you a mail when it's available for sell.

@Johnny, I'm actually working on a functionnality which can make you import/export TGE 256x256 (only heightfields) from/into the Hexmap.You can't buy it for now, for three reasons :

Np :) But as for price dont short yourself $34.95+ is a nice starting number but like others have mention the more features you add, the higher the price. :)uh $69.95+ for a full-feature planet-level editor maybe in the future heh. :)
