TGE (Not TGEA) - With Torque3d Coming, What Should I Do?

by KP · in Torque Game Engine · 04/02/2009 (5:28 am) · 2 replies

Is there any upgrade path for TGE to T3D, or is it only from TGEA to T3d? Would it be cheaper to upgrade to TGEA and then use its discounted upgrade to get T3D, or would it be cheaper just to pre-order T3D?
Kinda confused about my options here...

If I don't upgrade to anything, will I still get access to TGE forums, documentation, assets, tutorials, etc?

You can upgrade from TGE directly but its cheaper to upgrade to TGEA first.

TGE -> T3D costs $800

TGE -> TGEA costs $145
TGEA -> T3D costs $505
so it only costs $650, a wopping saving of $150!

It says "Only current TGEA owners recive a $495 discount" so you may not actualy get a TGEA discount even if you own it after, so would be helpfull for a GG staff member or someone who has done this to answer if you will still recive the $495 discount. >_<

It checks for TGEA license ownership when you add it to your cart. So, if you upgrade to TGEA and then to Torque 3D, you should be fine.
