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.

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.
