Should I buy Torque 1.4 or wait until 1.5?
by Devin Rose · in Torque Game Engine · 09/22/2006 (6:25 am) · 5 replies
Hello fellow game developers,
I have decided to go with Torque Game Engine (indie) for my game development, an RTS game, and I see that 1.4 is the latest version. I also read that it is the last free upgrade version in its line, so I assume I would have to then buy version 1.5 all over again when it is released.
Should I buy Torque 1.4 and the RTS kit now, or will I get burned when 1.5 comes out in X weeks/months and have to pay all over again?
Thanks!
Devin

If you're planning on buying Torque, buy it now! This way, you will only pay $100 and receive 1.5 for FREE when it is released. If you wait for 1.5, you will have to pay $150 due to a new pending pricing structure.Here's a quick overview:

I got pretty lucky myself, I bought 1.4 and the next day I saw the info about 1.5 and I was about to jump off my balcony till I noticed I get 1.5 for free as well :)
