"Welcome to The Garage"

"Welocome to The Garage" is the article in April's Computer Games magazine. Just wanted to know if anyone read this yet? Not bad article about GG.
Page 34 of April's issue talks about GG and the Torque engine. My favorite part(pg. 36) is the mention of " The Torque Discovery Kit". Is this going to be 2.0 or is it going to be part of Torque docs or of something else? No mention of the release of TSE or TNL in the article. Can't wait to see what is coming this summer:)

Mark, thanks for the post. The article is at the office, and yeah it's a pretty good write up. Everybody should go read it. :) At the time the article was written, TSE and TNL weren't being talked about, so that's why they're not in there.

Both the TSE and the TNL will be stand-alone products to start with. The TSE is basically the 1.2.1 version engine code with Shaders built in to the graphic-rendering-code.
Maybe the TSE will eventually replace the $100 torque license later on (when its ready) but nothing has been actually said in that matter.
The TNL is the network-part ripped out of Torque for other game engines to use so basically every torque owner already have it.
