You'll never create anything you like whilst you feel so negatively about the Torque engine.

I know, I know. Yeah, I'm whining a bit, but my unhappiness is not totally unfounded.

If it's crashing then I think you're doing something wrong.
The included game demos crash. On multiple machine setups.

Besides the huge lack of potential for originality with this package

I don't see why this would be. Any game can be created with any engine.


Admittedly, I haven't dug very deep into the scripting, but I'm currently looking at options like :
"FPS Starter kit" and "Racing Starter Kit". It makes me cringe. I know you can do more than
this, but these two options are what I'm presented with when I install the package. I apparently
have to dig to get more freedom.


I just want you guys to realise that I don't really hate torque that much, though. I'm mostly
reacting to the shock of seeing these two experienced programmers choose a game-making
package over a proper language. That's just me, I guess.
