T2D owners access to TGE Doc's ?

Hey guys, I was wondering what the chances are of getting us T2D owners access to the TGE Documents ? Specifically i'm looking for the source Doc's, but it appears that there is a vast amount of information in there that we could potentially benefit from. I don't remember the specific thread it was in, but I do recall reading one awhile back that this was being 'looked into', i'm hoping you got an AOK for it. Personally my crew and I are not able to get TGE right now, (and we're just focusing on 2D games currently) but I would love to get some, if even limited, access to those Doc's.

On a sidenote, I was also wondering what the chances are of one of you having a T2D 101 session up in Eugene? I don't recall the name of the dev, but I was reading someone's profile that was recently offering free tut's up there for TGE. Depending on how many local game dev's we have here, I think you could get a decent turnout for it if someone was so inclined to give a 101 session. Especially if there were some sneak peaks of the new additions coming in the big patch. =OP

With my crew and I you have at least 5 people down here in Medford that would love to make the trip up north to get some tips 'n tricks from the makers.

1) TDN (Torque Developer's Network) is going to be our new presentation of documentation for all of the various engines offered by GG, and is being designed specifically to handle the documentation issues that you mention--the fact that there is an underlying set of functionality and documentation that apply to more than one license purchase, yet is not currently available to some of the licensees. Unfortunately, the current format for documentation presentation doesn't allow for this, but TDN will.

The .plan you are mentioning is from Matt Langley, who is actually in Pheonix, AZ. GG will be hosting a 3-day Torque Boot Camp in Eugene just after IGC (7-9 Oct for IGC, 10-12 Oct for TBC--Indie), but it will be focused on TGE, not T2D.

We do have plans down the road for boot camps related to specific products (T2D, TSE, etc.), but not in the near future.
