Hello guys.I'm about to buy the torque3d engine for the source code.Because no royalties and the source code.

I have some questions

1. I also want to mod the engine and turn it in to a engine like cryengine or unreal engine or even id tech engines.


2.If I wanted people to License my engine could i do that even if it was the torque3d engine modified


3. can i be like id software and make old version of the engines opensource

you can reference the faqs, but i'm pretty sure the answer is no, no, and no.

Bloodknight's right, the T3D engine is licensed to you to make games with, not competing products. The license pages should tell you everything you need to know :).

What is your end goal? To make a game engine or to make a game?

If you want to make a game engine I would start with SDL or PyGame depending upon your skill level. Those media layers allow for closed source licensing. Also, check out Ogre3D for the C++ version and the Python version. Much assembly will be required.

Torque is middle ware for making a game. Not for making game engines. So if your goal is to make a game then Torque is a good choice.
