A turn-based strategy genre kit?

by Joe Rossi · in Torque Game Builder · 02/03/2009 (11:00 am) · 10 replies

Is there any more information about this Turn-based Strategy genre kit from the TGB product page? (scroll way down).
www.garagegames.com/products/torque-2D

I'm also wondering how one would go about developing a genre kit product to be sold alongside the Adventure and Platformer kits. What are the requirements or restrictions? Who would I contact?

Quote:TGB is available with many different Genre Kits.
This seems a bit misleading given there there are only two kits available. I think there should be more ;)

The RTS kit would be cool. I think a Side-scrolling Shooter kit is easy, heck, I could put one together.

I'd say there already is a shooter "kit" in the form of the tutorial that comes with the engine. :)

True, but I like kits since they usually kind of bundle everything together for you in one place. The tutorials that come with the kit do not tell you things such as power ups, health for stronger baddies, super weapon move, and gui elements.

I've actually thought about doing an RTS in the mold of Red Alert. What would be a good name? TGBCraft? C&TGB? TGB Annihilation? ;)

Haven't been by the forums in a while. Just noticed this thread.
I am currently working on an RTS Kit for TGB that implements features similiar to warcraft II.
Hopefully I will have some screenshots and feature list soon. I will more than likely use it as my introduction blog as I've been around since '05 but haven't posted a blog yet...

Oh ok. So it doesn't actually exist yet.
