Greetings

I downloaded the demo engine and reviewed the power of the GarageGames engine.

I'd like to ask the following

I am an avid coder and learn very quickly, My skills include Graphix & texturing.

I also have access to a person who can create 3d models etc.

If i were to purchase this engine, is it possible to create "Monopoly" the board game utilising this engine and if so, a relative timeframe in achiving this with good staff?

What i would like to create is similar to Monopoly.

Regards

Edwin

Depending on what your vision of the game was, I'd say something like that could be done in a few weeks. Since monopoly is a slow paced game, doing the entire game in Torquescript should be completely possible.

Gonzo is right on. I think for an experienced scripter, monopoly could be done in a month or less. For a newcomer to the engine, it might take two.

If you were to make Monopoly a little more interesting, then it might take 2-3 months.

Perhaps something like.....Texas Chainsaw Monopoly!
Would be a fast paced game. " What? Boardwalk rent is $50, I don't think so!....ggrrrrrrrrrrrRuuuunnnnnnnn"

You should have fun,
It is farely easy to learn. I tend to figure out the problems I am having before
people answer my posts. of course my posts seem to take awhile to get replies....aha hah ah

have fun,

@Edwin: when you become a Torque SDK owner, you have access to even more forums than are visible to you now, so that's even better. definitely a good choice to get Torque :)

Am a proud owner of Torque

Made a map

Scripted bots

Moved bots

Getting the hang of it.

I must say, being a asp,javascript coded and database developer and working with those languages it helps alot to get the hang of torque scripts

what would be nice is a list of all the functions available, found the dump() command helps alot there..

cheers
