Platformer Starter Kit/Torque X for XNA

by John Spinella · in Torque X 2D · 10/29/2009 (5:34 pm) · 3 replies

So, I have installed Torque X for XNA which it seems to me that it will come with the Torque X 2D. But when I am trying to buy the starter kit, it is telling me that I have to purchase Torque X 2D?

Doesn't the Torque X for XNA give me Torque X 2D?

Thanks,
John

Hi,
If you have the premium membership to XNA then you can download TorqueX from the link found at Resources --> Partners on the XNA site.
After you download and install you have to register TorqueX with the activation code provided by GarageGames.
And yes TorqueX includes TorqueX 2D and 3D.

Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

Patrick, Thanks for the reply but I did register with GarageGames when I installed the Torque X CC.

My question is about why I can't buy Platformer Starter Kit for Torque X if I have Torque X already.

I see the project in my profile but everytime I try to buy it it tells me I need o buy Torque X 2D.

Apparently you need to own the source code version of T2D to purchase the starter kits and addons. Since the startkit comes with source code for some parts of the engine I believe its a necessity.

Thinking about this, what would it cost, under $200, If you are making a game for XBLIG you will make $200 back. Its a hobby that pays for itself. If you go to the XNA forums and look for the thread "Share your sales numbers" You will be surprised at what people buy.
