We've had a lot of inquiries for a course preview for the newly launched RPG Series: Character Creation in AFXA course, so we're posting a preview consisting of a PDF of the first week's materials(no source code files or art assets included). A version of the course for AFX for TGE is almost complete as well. Hopefully this gives the taste of what goes into one of our TorqueSchool courses, and why they are a tremendous value.

It covers the creation of the first step in the character creation process, which is the avatar/player selection screen, and many tips on working with GUIs. The course is taken entirely from the comfort of your home at your own pace. The full course is almost 200 pages, with full working examples, source code and art assets.

Download it here: Size: 52 pages, 5MB.

Enjoy!

The next class in the RPG Series: Databases and Persistence, is almost ready to begin registrations. This is a powerful class indeed and has been a blast to create, covering both MySQL and SQLite implementations.

Very cool, I am downloading it now.

Will there be a signup for the TGE version of the course? I know TGEA is better. But upgrading will still have to wait a bit for me LOL.

You bet Johnny, sometimes this week I will announce it, when I've converted the rest of the code!

Will this course have a rerun later on? ... or any way to purchase it as a VTM course?

If I had the money I would have enrolled ... but I didn't at the time. :(

I'd like to know is this for TGE or TGEA??

As the PDF is titled;

"RPG Series: Character Creation for ArcaneFX for TGEA
Author: Dave Young
Version 1.0 February 2008"

Yet you say "AFX for TGE " above or is this for TGEA and another version is in the works for TGE? It maybe worth clearing this up. (not trying to nick-pick)

Other than that this looks very good.

Dave Young (Feb 29, 2008 at 20:35 GMT)

To clarify, the ArcaneFX for TGEA version aka (AFXA) was released but the ArcaneFX for TGE version (aka AFX) is still underway.

All engine code has been ported and now to write up the changes, within a week we will be launching the AFX version :)

Dave Young (Mar 05, 2008 at 03:35 GMT)

Update, the AFX version is complete and merged into a single course containing code needed for both versions.

I purchased this course and it is well worth the money. Thanks for all your hard work. This course has information I can use in building my current TGEA game's character creation system!
