GarageGames Torque Engine Linux Beta Client Out

Posted by Hemos on from the get-yer-game-on dept.

Darren Alcorn writes "It appears that the beta client for the GarageGames Torque engine has been released for Linux. The engine retails at $100 for a team and was seen for Tribes 2, just now with added performance. Games such as Legends will be released on the engine, so it is nice to have the Linux compatibility."

    No, you don't understand. This is the new anti-/.-effect defense. See, you type in the link improperly so that people can't just go 'CLICK'...'CLICK CLICK CLICK'...'CLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICK' causing a great disturbance in the source page. This way, people have to take the time to copy and past the correct URL, and it distibutes the load more evenly. It's ingenious!

    Since when has Microsoft made a 3d OpenGL engine for windows users? MS gave Windows D3D. Torque is using OpenGL. AKA a SGI product.

    Sorry, I can't seem to cut through this jargon. I could write, "TL gave Windows C5C. Sponge is using GreenBZ. PXP a CRA product." but that doesn't make it useful.

    I stand by my original claim, that none of this is necessary except for Linux.
