Seems that some one on youtube is trying to make out that TGE is his own engine as "LBK"

I personally wouldnt be caught dead trying to register on that site. I mean who comes up with these schemes and thinks about trying to claim torque as their own. Its probably one of the most well known engines for indies(even if you like or or not, you still know torque is torque). and Ill keep doing some digging for this Nick Lorion. And see how far this bunny hole goes.

Throwing Kork in there and expecting the charade to continue was just a little ... optimistic ...Kids these days, no subtlety.

Nothing much to see here. Let the guy do what he wants, he's obviously just playing around with the engine. He's not going to sell it and even if he did, no one would buy it.

Even if he does not sell it, he'll probaly just give it away for free(which is illigal in itself).
And if he does sell it and no one buys it, its the pure legal and moral principals.
If you made a game and he did the same to that would you still be happy that "he's obviously just playing around with the engine. He's not going to sell it and even if he did, no one would buy it." ?

Obiously playing around with the engine? He's trying to make out basic features of the engine he made, the only new thing is that bunker model afaik and the hp/stamina texture seem diffrent.Even if he does not sell it, he'll probaly just give it away for free(which is illigal in itself).
And if he does sell it and no one buys it, its the pure legal and moral principals.

Hey guys, OK it's a little funny that he said "My engine", but if he bought it, then he can post pictures and videos, and distribute games for free or for profit, and it's all copyrighted by him.

Its my cousin, they indeed used tge and by using the book 3d programming they build up the engine. btw, he's 15 yrs old.
so its a bit obvious he said "my engine" beeing proud of making work.

I bet those videos will get deleted soon, and the channel itself.
