Torque 3D

A free game engine that is great for beginners

Kommentare: Major benefit would obviously the engine is free. Like I said in my review, it's great for people starting off with game design.

Vorteile:

I love the fact that there is a lot you can do with Torque, especially if you're new to Video Game Design and development. You can implement decent graphic while maintaining performance with the engine.

Nachteile:

The engine it self is kind of dated in regards to industry purposes. Torque can definitely improve some of it's graphical features.

I used this engine for a personal project a few years back.

Vorteile:

A few years ago I used Torque for a project I was working on in college and I was in awe over how simple it was to get up and running. Even as a novice student developer at the time, with a small team of artists and a single programmer, we were able to throw together a first person shooter game with a unique world, art assets, animation, and gameplay in our spare time with a 10 week semester. This should speak volumes about the quality of this engine, and should be a testament to those considering using this tool in your development pipeline.

Nachteile:

While it has been a short amount of time from my initial interaction with this engine, I do not recall having any negative feedback during the time I was using it. Really great engine that I would recommend to newer developers.

A little bit outdated

Kommentare: it was a nice engine years ago, it need a strong update to reach actual engines.

Vorteile:

The perfect engine for an RPG, easy to use, cheap and no hacker knowledge required.

Nachteile:

Outdated engine, no physical based rendering, a lot of bugs and error and very archaic.

A great game engine for the cost, at the time it came out.

Kommentare: The engine we've used for years.

Vorteile:

At the time Torque came out, it was the best / cheapest option in the game engine world. It had everything you needed to make a game, and it was very reasonably priced.

Nachteile:

It is an older engine that does not have much support for it anymore.

I might just make my next game in Torque

Vorteile:

As a free tool, Torque has so many unexpected features. It really is a complete 3D game development tool. I was constantly surprised at how much I was able to do with it, despite being a largely unknown tool.

Nachteile:

Torque comes up a little short on features that you'll find in something like Unity or Unreal. What you get with the ease of use you sacrifice in features.
