A while ago I reached out to GG and asked them if they were interested in my RTS Creature Pack, I was very happy to hear that they were.
Getting a pack ready is quite a challenge; I would even dare say that the pack itself was the easy part. Getting all the marketing materials and contract details was a little bit more time than I anticipated.
I started with TGE 5 years ago, as a programmer I can honestly say that I had a steep learning curve going from programming to doing art. Ever since the beginning I have always wanted to have a Content pack released by Garage Games. I really hoped it would be a lot sooner, if someone is interested in starting I would strongly recommend going to CG school and leave the self teaching until he has enough knowledge in his arsenal. It's been a long journey and I can't even tell you how happy I am to be published by GG.
i would also like to thank eric elwell for doing the textures in this pack, thanks eric :)
In short, if you want to get the RTS Creature Pack just hop to www.garagegames.com/products/295/ its only 20$ :) .
The content pack itself was designed to aid RTS game developers to achieve quick prototyping in minimal time and help you to easily create RTS Games. Provide modular and customizable solution for Team Mode RTS games. The Two characters that can be used in an RTS environment and to have them in multiple teams. Each character texture has 3 variations, so this means that you can mix and match your teams, either have a color or a character type based team.RTS Creature Pack is the first pack of a series, and will be followed by several other RTS compatible packs using the same standards.

The RTS Creature Pack contains 3D objects ready to be used in the Torque Game Engine. All 3D mesh source files are included to allow artists to modify any element.
The main characters are animated using Biped Bones, and it comes with 9 New Animations Compatible with animations that come with TGE, including any animations that use 3ds maxs Biped Rig.

a few months back i reduced both orc and weapon pack prices they are much more affordable now. one orc and lots of weapons for $50. separately the orc is 35 and the weapons are only 20$.
in addition to all of that i had to redesign the site and make it more user friendly. i think i redesigned that site 5 or 6 times, i even added separate galleries to each of the pack, ORC Warrior Pack, Weapon Pack and the RTS Creature Pack. i hope i finally nailed it. here are some website pics

I can really recommend anyone making his game or prototype to get these packs. They are extremely affordable, easy to use and are compatible with default animations so you can use the provided animations with Kork, Adam or any compatible model. Also, Ori was extremely helpful and provided me with some alternate models and textures to try some setups.
I really hope you make other packs... I'm just waiting for them.
Luck!
