Well, lets see, I have my copy of TGE1.5.2 for slightly over a year now. The toughest part in my opinion was struggling to make sense of everything. Honestly the beginner doc at that time was barely able to kick start me. There were too many questions and unknowns. Having said that, the community here is a fantastic bunch, and through long hours, much hair-pulling research I was able to make sense bit by bit, step by step and now I can say I am more confident as various apparantly senseless parts start taking form like a puzzle.
I am no artist/designer, just a mere software developer for web applications in ASP.NET (C#) as my day job (10 years in the s/w industry). Throughout the past year, I have learnt by creating test missions and generally playing and tinkering with TS and C++ source codes, guidance from the community of course. Of late I have decided to continue my quest of learning by creating something that hopefully can bear some form of a playable game, a fantasy RPG (yes, yes I know, but if its something that fuels my interest to continue, heck why not, got nothing to lose). I have some ideas swirling around but nothing concrete (I have not thought of a name yet as I'll rather concentrate on the mechanics, stuff like names will fall in place later). I'll post the progress in futher .plans.
If you are still reading, thanks. I'll post some screenies of what I have done next. Later.

Michael, if your day job is spent coing in C#, you should check out the Torque X Engine. It's highly productive and is all coded in C#. John K.

As for TX, have been procrastinating. I just might look into it.

Well said. You can spend as much time as you like dreaming up how good it's gonna be, but if you don't get the actual game mechanics made, you ain't gonna get a game. Good luck.
