T2D is much better than TGB (imo) the only thing TGB has over T2D is the editors. You should make sure you understand the differences between the 2 versions before spending any money. (imo at least)

Ok thanks for replying, so I have another question, I'm trying to make a plattaformer videogame but in the forums and in youtube videos I have seen that everybody makes his games with the TGB and in almost all the documentation it is used TGB, so I don't know how to create my level without a level editor, what options do I have?, Greetings!

As for making platformer levels - right now you would have to create them purely through scripting. It is not an ideal workflow, we all know that a level editor built for T2D or an exporter for a generic editor like Tiled would be a huge help. If I were to start making a platformer today, I suppose I would map my levels out in Tiled and manually translate that to a CompositeSprite in XML.

To start with, documentation for T2D can be found here: github.com/GarageGames/Torque2D/wikiAs for making platformer levels - right now you would have to create them purely through scripting.

The platformer starter kit is no longer available to purchase.
You are free to spend your money as you wish, but before you purchase it please make sure you understand that TGB will never receive any updates or bug fixes. I would take a serious look at the open source version of Torque 2D instead.
