Quote:The Torque Game Engine itself has been used on a number of indie PC/Mac/Linux gaming projects, including: ThinkTanks Airborne, Marble Blast, Distant Towers, Metal Drift and Orbz, and Torque Engine games were recently rolled out into arcades as part of the FlexArcade gaming system.

ok... So I love the coverage... But does anyone know what ThinkTanks 'Airborne' or 'Distant Towers' refers to?

Mmm... no idea either, think tanks airborne?
So it's a version of think tanks with flying tanks? :)

Maybe you'll get Brian Ramage to say more he was on the original dev. team Ozo Interactive, but Metal Drift was at IGC 2002 and it got a lot of play. MD was pitched to some very large commercial publishers.

Quote:Ozo Interactive's first project is 'Metal Drift,' a large scale vehicular and armor based multiplayer title set to expand squad-based gameplay. The company is currently searching for a publisher for Metal Drift.

Heh, yeah wow, I haven't seen Metal Drift mentioned in a while, seems like a very long time ago. Ozo is dissolved, learned a ton from that experience though.

I've been working on a new version of MD for quite some time now. It's a different concept than the original prototype, but it's still a hardcore title. Progress is going well, hopefully we'll show something at this coming IGC.

Brian, for real ? You serious ? I so wanted to play the full game after trying out that early build back at IGC2002 : seeing Tim Gift playing it spurred my curiosity, so I joined the fray (and got my butt handed to me by him, and not on a silver platter, btw ;))
Bring it on !!! That's one game I will be very glad to see, even if it's a "different concept".
Tell us more, if and when you can.
Cheers !!
