All kinds of new material has been showing up on GG.com. One of my favorite community members, who is also a GG Associate, has posted three really awesome tutorials that show really great script: http://tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/T3D/Tutorials/Tactics-Action_GameType_Tutorial...

Sounds like you are off to a great start then! =) If you become one of those rare people who can balance development and art, you will be in high demand. This is especially true for indie teams. Good luck!

It really depends on what the platform is. If you are playing Xbox Live Indie games, they are written entirely in C# using the XNA framework. A vast majority of iOS (iPhone/iPad) are written in Objective-C. Terraria, which is an amazing PC game, was also written entirely in C# using XNA. For the...

At point A, then start moving toward Z^n =)

That's a very good sign. Books and lectures are great, but nothing will beat hands-on time. I'm not contradicting my earlier statement. Docs, books and instructors are important. However, much like every other trade in the world, you have to get actual experience. Not only that, but there is...

Great! I look forward to your questions. If I may ask, who is providing the course and what is the focus?

Not specific to game development: start saving for college as soon as you see your first dollar. I'm serious, had I known what student loan debt could amount to, I would have saved all my allowance and meager paychecks from Taco Bell. Specific to game development: That's a really difficult...

That is indeed and epic beard. I have definitely seen my fair share. One of my instructors had something similar. Currently, I work with a guy who reduced his bear...but it's still intimidating:

Thankfully, I've never been forced into crunch modes equivalent to what some of you may have read through famous articles like "EA Spouse." Now, have I pulled a lot of extra hours? Absolutely, but it's almost always considered a choice. No one at GG has ever asked me to work weekends or past...

Haha. Clothing is mandatory, but dress code is specific to each business. For example, at GG we can wear whatever we like. During the Vegas summers, I'm typically in flip flops. If it's winter, I'll wear my GG hoodie pretty much every day. The only time we try to dress a little nicer is for...

Since it is somewhat related to this thread, I have created a new thread in the Off Topic section about game development: http://forums.legionsoverdrive.com/threads/question-about-game-development.3064/. Members from the old IA days might recall a similar thread I started way back in the far off...

Greetings everyone. I started a thread like this on the old IA forums and really enjoyed answering inquiries about game development. For those of you who do not know me, I am a professional game developer. I work at GarageGames, which should be a recognizable name for those who know the history...

@Cadmus - You can check out the Mod section of the forums, as well as the documentation links for Torque 3D/TGEA.

Umm, template codes? Elaborate.

Hammer? Is there something about Legions that renders Constructor unusable? Hey! Just noticed the Honored Hero upgrade. Thanks guys. I am flattered =)

My sig was hacked!!!!! Why is it you guys cannot go less than three days without finding and posting a picture of me shirtless?

As I just said, no games. GarageGames is 100% dedicated to Torque now. Any games that were not acquired by the original teams remain with the IP holder, which is IAC. GG doesn't know the status of any of that.

@Disci - YO! Another familiar face. This pleases Centaur Mich =) ____________________________________________ Ghedit: Behold the power of Centaur Mich!

Sorry for confusing you in the other thread. I posted a reply explaining why you would use Torque 3D. To sum up, you can use T3D for creating concepts. The levels will not work in Legions, unless someone has figured out how to back port from T3D to the game. If you use the following objects, you...

I can confirm what Fixious stated. GG is 100% focused on the Torque product line. Our only involvement in games is trying to keep the damn master server up and running.
