TVTs and the future?

So I managed to get in touch with someone from way back in 2004. I was brought on to work for a small but simply amazing project called "Gearo the Hero". Shortly after working on the project I was called away on military duty to put in 2 years out in the persian gulf. But a long story short. Gearo is back! And I think he is a little upset for being put on the self for these last few years.
What does this mean for the Torque Video Tutorials you might be asking?
I have been given permission to document and video record my trials and tribulations of rebuilding this project with David. So over the next few weeks and months you will get to see some hands on videos of proto-typing the game and then seeing the game brought to full life.
But what about the other TVTs Tom you might also be asking..
They are still being worked on and I will continue to release them. TVT #3 has fallen a little behind schedule as I found a issue with the sound encodeing after I had already recorded it and started to upload it. So I need to re-record the tutorial and then reencode it. Its just going to take a little time before its done but it is coming.
I have also recieved alot of emails asking for different tutorials covering normal mapping in TSE to a video walk through of setting up a platformer in TGB. Even some asking for some TorqueX videos. I am starting to put togeather a list of videos and will tag one up soon on whats to come. But for now if you have questions on something or would like to see a TVT made on something then feel free to email me at thraay@gmail.com and I will see what I can do about adding it to the list.
There have been several. Ok many many people that have volunteered to donate there help and even money. I will work on setting up a Paypal donation link for those that wish to help in that area. If you do make a donation and sometime in the future TVTs move to a subscription setup you will recieve a lifetime account in exchange for your early donation to the project. (In no way am I saying or granteeing that TVTs will be pay to see in the future. Just that it still stands as a possible option)
Anyways back to Gearo the Hero. For you viewing pleasure from way back in 2004!
He's back and he's a little upset on not seeing the light of day. ;)
