Vron Software goes with TGE

This is the first Plan for Vron Software. To introduce myself, my name is Norv Brooks and I've been working on computer games since the days of the Atari 800. Most of the time I've worked on my own speculative projects. In the early 90's I worked with Avalon Hill Game Co. to convert their popular bordgame "Advanced Civilization" to a computer game. It enjoyed a modest amout of succes until it ran into legal problems with Micropose. In 2001 I had a short-lived contractual arrangement with Talonsoft a Take Two Interactive game company.

My current project, "SmokeJumpers" has gone through a few technological iterations trying to create my own game engine in C++. I became interested in the Torque Game Engine in late 2005 and signed on as a "Indie" license at the end of December 2005. I feel encouraged with what I've been able to accomplish so far; although, I'm still very much in the period of familiarizing myself with TGE. I have a very loose target date of completing "SmokeJumpers" by the end of 2006.
