Platformer Starter Kit

#1 Simply based on a lot of the discussion and questions the platformer tutorials on TDN generated over the years, this should be quite a popular starter kit.

Thanks for taking the initiative and making this kit for TGB. It was always a bit odd that Torque X had a platformer kit and TGB didn't, but I'd guess that was probably due to a lack of resources and not a lack of desire on GG's part.

#2 I had a lot of fun creating it and have learnt a lot about TGB in the process. I am just glad I was able to make something and give help to people who might need something like this.

#3 Philip, you can consider at least one sold on the first day from our company.

#4 Same here..... Phillip - how is the PSK going to be released, through GG?
just so i know how payment stuff is going to be handled, as this is a must have kit for me.

#5 It will be released through GG. Hopefully shortly!

#6 I'm assuming it uses all the tilemap features, like tiles with different collision polygons, etc. It's hard to tell from the pictures/description whether it's using tiles or some other larger objects for the ground, walls. If this makes tile-based collisions work great *out of the box*, then it's worth the price of admission alone.

Can't wait!

Is it a source update to the engine (requiring a re-compile) or is it all script based?

#7 It doesn't use tile collisions, though you probably could use them and does not require source mods.

#8 Philip, any idea when it will be released? (days? , weeks?)

#9 GG will receive my final build on Monday. After that it is all admin work and whatnot. To answer your question, hopefully in a week or two.

#10 I bought it today but it says "Unable to open Project"

#11 What exactly do you mean? because i bought it about 5-6 months ago, and worked fine all the time!
