Torque 3D 1.2 - Preliminary Changelog

Welcome back to another Torque 3D 1.2 Friday. Last week I reveled pricing for the Torque 3D 1.2 update. First off I would like to say thank you for all the support we got from you guys. Talking about pricing is never an easy thing but everyone kept it civil and a lot of good discussion occurred. Based on the feedback from the community we’ve decided to release the bug fixes from 1.2 to all current Torque 3D licensees for free. To read more about that please check out Eric’s comment here. We can't always act on everyone's comment or thought but I guarantee that we are listening.

Another major topic is that people wanted to see exactly what Torque 3D 1.2 consists of. In the spirit of that I’ve thrown together a preliminary Changelog based on our repo commit messages. It’s a little quick and dirty and I plan on having something a little more polished for the launch but for those that want to dig into things I present to you the almost final, just about done, nearly there, preliminary Changelog:



For more information on some of the features we have added to 1.2 I would recommend checking out the links at the bottom of this page for other blogs I have written regarding 1.2. Also, this Changelog doesn’t represent well the amount of time and effort that has gone into the artwork for 1.2. While I understand that a few of you don’t make use of pre-constructed art for your projects these assets not only illustrate some cool things you can do with your levels but also help guide artists on how to setup their art to best take advantage of the new 1.2 features.

Another point I want to make is that the development team has gone to great lengths to make sure these features play nicely with pre-existing Torque 3D code. Meaning we are hoping that people with Torque 3D 1.1 projects as well as all you 3rd party vendors out there have a smooth experience upgrading to 1.2.

If anyone has any questions about the changes in 1.2 we'll do our best to answer them.

Next week I’ll be doing a dive into the alien art pack we have developed for Torque 3D 1.2. Just a matter of time before you can have your Humans vs Aliens war that gets invaded by Zombies!
