Tge Demo

#1 Well, it's a simple download to find out what in the TGE demo. But it includes an interactive mission showing off some of the capabilities, there's also a FPS and Racing basic example.

The only difference between the demo installed and the SDK installer is the fact it gives all the source code along with it.

#2 ...and you have a license allowing you to release a game using it.

#3 Basically, the source is VERY important... It allows you to make edits to the engine, and I can 90% garentee you it will make your life easier with the source... It has for me...

#4 Well the demo doesn't really have anything useful in it anymore, as the FPS and Racing examples have actually been removed, most torque books allow you to use the demo, but yea to get anything worthwhile done you pretty much need the source and full access to the resources.

#5 Is it possible to make a game in the demo, then if I "like what I see", I can purcase the license and just port it to the full version?

#6 There are some limitations Roland. Some game modifications will absolutely require C++ source modifications. However, using just the script system you can make some pretty nifty prototypes of your game. Using the demo will give you a chance to try things out and see if you "like what you see."

As stated, the full purchase will provide you with more examples, as well as access to private forums and official documentations
