Does this mean that a TGB game can be ported without rewriting the scripts in C#? That would be a great time saver.

This is what I was more interested in:Quote:ith that, 2D games get shaders and can combine 2D and 3D into the same game, and become a unified platform for future development. This also has the side benefit that Torque Game Builder Games can move onto the Xbox 360.

EDIT:
That was why everyone talking about Torque 2 noted that if you have a project that you are working on or will start working on in the next 6 to 9 months, use the existing technology and finish your project. Do not either sit and wait or hope for ease in porting since the fundamental design of the engines are significantly different.

In some ways, yes. Torque 2 is a C++ engine with scenegraph components(2D/3D, or your own if you want to write the component hooks). Of course, it would take a significant amount of work to port from TGB to Torque 2 since the engines are structured *completely* differently. Most of the project port talk was in terms of TGE/A and not TGB, but I would imagine that it follows a similar track in that the engine and components work so differently together than the current implementation that it would take a significant amount of time to port to Torque 2.EDIT:
