Before I Buy TD2...

by Wol · in General Discussion · 06/26/2011 (3:41 pm) · 6 replies

Hi guys,

I would like to know the following answers to these questions before I get Torque 2D,

1. Can someone who know the basic commands like canvas.setcontent(menu); and guiedit(); make really good games?
2. What should I use for a 2D sidescroll game?
3. Is it really good?
4. Can I publish the games online for free without having to pay more? (Under a public license)
5. Should I get T2D or Torque X?

Thanks guys!

1. Don't know, but with enough effort you can always make good games.
2. There a several nice tutorials on how to make side scrolling games, e.g. space shooter, platformer.
3. A lot of people are creating great games, so it is good enough to make great games.
4. You can publish games for free, but you have to consider the license terms, meaning you can not publish the source code a la GPL.
5. You should get T2D if you wanna make PC games and you should get TorqueX if you wanna make XBOX360 games.

You can make all thinkable 2D games.

It is up to you what kind of game you want to make, there are kits for both type of games. Platformer, Kart kit. Also make sure to read the full description of Torque 2D.

If you have access to a mac and XCode, then yes you can make games on a mac, for a mac.

You should also make whatever game your more passionate about making.
