What would everyone think of an open source game made with T3D?

by Benjamin Stanley · in Torque 3D Beginner · 08/06/2013 (8:01 pm) · 4 replies

I want to start a open source project up with T3D to get new people into this awesome engine and community.

I am going to be posting my blog post soon on this.

I am essentially an artist with no coding experience or Knowledge. So Getting a C++ / TS programmer would be my first priority on this project.

What would you give me advice on before I post my blog post?

    My advice would be, don't start anything until you have something impressing to show.

    Maybe you should get a team together and then together everyone decides on a on the type of project to do. Some people may not be interested in a space themed game, but would be interested if they had more of a say so of the type of game being created. If I didn't have two projects going at the same time then I would. I'm not a programmer though, so I really wouldn't know where I could help. Nonetheless good luck, we do need more project that will show off T3D.
    The Drive game that the beamNG team did. Has a few of my friends and family now looking at T3D! If we could get more projects like that then T3D would start getting the attention it deserves.
    Another option is you could always join another project that is currently in progress. Again good luck!

    Also throwing this out there as an option: improving and relaunching existing Torque games.

    nothing would be better than a full commercial game it probably doesnt have to be complete just the (startup scenes, main menu, options, some cutscenes, how to end a level and move on to the next one, save/ load etc)the open source to a project that contains all these and more priceless to newbies like myself, weather its a new concept or improving and relaunching an existing torque game
