TGE 1.4.2 to TGEA?

by RazorWing · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 06/08/2007 (11:12 am) · 2 replies

Hello,
I was wondering is there currently or will there be an upgrade option for those customers currently on TGE 1.4.2 to be able to upgrade to TGEA? (non-commerical).

I am very intrested in the technology but having spent $150 on TGE, spending another $300 on TGA would be too much.

I noticed some people are suggesting to just buy the shader and implement that into the TGE, would this be the best solution? is this the cheaper and only solution? is there any features you will be missing by buying just the shader?

Thanking you in advance.
Andy

I know $300 sounds like alot, but it is well worth it. I doubt there will be an upgrade for it. I know GG started charging for upgrades to all of the engines. My suggestion would get it while its $300 and before the price goes up; you never know what could be in the near future. Also I think TGE and TGEA upgrades are coming soon. It said updates were gonna come every (I think). October is the cut off date for the year and thats right around the corner. I'm curious what GG has in-store for the game engines. What knew technology have they added or going to add to it.

My suggestion is get while its cheap so you can afford the UPGRADES.

300$ is alot for me too. I think an upgrade option from 1.5 to TGEA would be a good option for us with TGE indie to have. I know alot of other engines cost upwards of 200k but most of them dont even support indie companies.

Don't get me wrong; TGEA looks badassed but still, I thought I'd give my 2 cents.
