Torque began as the game engine behind Starsiege: Tribes, one of the venerable
|
||||
online shooters of the late 90s. When Dynamix folded after releasing Tribes 2,
|
||||
members of the company decided to continue by reconfiguring the game engine
|
||||
as a standalone product called the Torque Game Engine. The game engine was
|
||||
written in C++ (with a couple of files of assembly to do the heavy lifting of
|
||||
terrain texture blending), used TorqueScript for gameplay scripting, and ran
|
||||
on the Big Three - Windows, Linux and Mac.

Tribes 2, enhancing the original Tribes' gameplay and graphics,

their closure. Several Dynamix veterans went on to found

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GarageGames">GarageGames</a>,

licensing the Tribes 2 game engine which was

GarageGames sold TGE for around $100USD throughout the product's lifetime,
|
||||
increasing this to $150 with the release of TGE 1.5. Its selling point against
|
||||
other engines was its strong networking (which had powered 128-player games
|
||||
of Tribes 2), its terrain rendering, and the fact that a license bought you
|
||||
the entire engine source code. During this time, GarageGames spun off numerous
|
||||
other products - TorqueX focused on delivering the same strengths to the XNA
|
||||
platform, and Torque Game Builder refactored the engine to render 2D graphics
|
||||
instead of 3D, though using the same platform core and scripting engine.

Eventually, as game technology moved on, TGE was superseded by TGEA, the Torque
|
||||
Game Engine Advanced. This kept a lot of TGE's strengths (and weaknesses) but
|
||||
added more modern graphics capabilities and enhancements to the terrain system.
|
||||
TGEA was available for roughly twice the price of TGE, with the same open-source
|
||||
(not <i>free</i> and open source) license. Eventually, TGEA was replaced by
|
||||
Torque 3D, which brought the engines all the way to the modern era with a
|
||||
deferred rendering engine, Collada asset loading, and revamped editors. At
|
||||
this point, unfortunately, the burden on GarageGames of maintaining OSX and
|
||||
Linux versions began to show. Linux support was dropped entirely and OSX support
|
||||
began to lag behind (the last version of T3D that officially supported OSX
|
||||
was 1.01).

|

Shortly after the release of Torque 3D, business machinations forced GarageGames
|
||||
to increase the engine's price to $1000, and introduce a script-only version
|
||||
that sold without access to the engine source code, only the TorqueScript
|
||||
starter projects and editors. The company began to run into difficulty and
|
||||
found it increasingly difficult to sell licenses at a profit. When their parent
|
||||
company folded, GarageGames was left looking for a buyer to keep them alive.

|
||||
|
||||
<img class="pull-left history" src="{{page.root}}/img/frozen-endzone-icon.jpg" />
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
They found one, who stepped in and encouraged GarageGames to re-release Torque 3D
|
||||
under the original source-included license for just $100. Unfortunately even
|
||||
after several updates, Torque 3D (and its new sibling, Torque 2D) were not
|
||||
able to sustain GarageGames. Faced with the inability to continue being solely
|
||||
engine developers, they released both Torque 3D and Torque 3D as free open-source
|
||||
software for the community to maintain, and moved their focus to consulting
|
||||
in video game software.

|

<p>
|
||||
Torque 3D's first two years as an open-source project have been rocky at times
|
||||
and exuberant at others. GarageGames set up the first Steering Committee, a
|
||||
body of members nominated from the existing developer community to become
|
||||
custodians of the official repository, determining the future direction the
|
||||
engine should take and guiding community contributions in this direction.
|
||||
Under their leadership, Torque made great advances such as integration with
|
||||
the Oculus Rift virtual reality display and Razer Hydra and Leap Motion input
|
||||
devices. Unfortunately the first Committee, after several membership changes,
|
||||
found itself unable to perform for a variety of reasons, and a second committee
|
||||
was enlisted from old and new community members.
