Some "Official Clarification" on 1.4 info...

To the good folks at Garage Games,

First let me take this opportunity to not only congratulate you on the release of 1.4, but also to thank you profusely for all of the time and effort it's taken to see this thing through and make TGE what it is today... you guys are an Indy's best friend.

There seem to be some changes and statements on the TGE product page however, that are causing quite a stir.

This prompted me to ask for some clarification on behalf of the community...

Torque 1.4 also has received an illumination boost with its integration with the new Torque Lighting Kit.

Are we to take this to mean that the Synapse Lighting Pack has been integrated into the "stock" 1.4 source code and no additional purchase is necessary to access the additional lighting functionality?

If so... WOW!

If not, please elaborate on what is meant specifically. (C;

TGE 1.4 is the last free upgrade in the Torque Game Engine line. If you're looking for an upgrade beyone TGE, you should check out the Torque Shader Engine

Now, I personally take this to mean that, other than adressing immediate stability issues, 1.4 is pretty much "it" and the future of Torque lies with TSE.

The question is though, IS that what is meant, or are their plans for further - pay for a different license - versions of TGE?

At any rate, I'm excited that 1.4 is finally here and can't wait to start porting my project.

Thanks again to all of you. =)
