TorqueX RTS Kit Closed Beta
by Jonathon Stevens · 02/02/2009 (3:10 pm) · 5 comments
The TorqueX RTS Kit 2D version is now feature complete and mostly bug free. We are looking for a few developers who've been active in the community of TorqueX to help do some closed beta testing. We're only bringing on a few (probably 3) beta testers for the closed beta. You will be required to sign an NDA.
Email me at jonathon.stevens@laststraw.info if you are interested along with your experience with TX.
Some updates on where features in the kit thus far:
We've got everything we could find from the feature list of the TGE RTS Kit as well as a few additional ones of our own. We dropped networking support since networking is something that really should be done when you know all the gameplay aspects. We also recognize some people will want to use live networking while others will want a custom rolled solution.
Small Feature List:
Customized Camera System
Mini-Map
Unit Selection
Group Commanding
Path Finding
Multiplayer Lobby
Team colors
Basic AI
Construction ability from buildings as well as special 'builder' units
four unit types
four building types
resource system
auto-spawning resources randomly placed on the map
resource gathering ability (either auto-adds to your resources or requires you to bring back to building you select to 'turn in')
transport units
supports latest version of TX
much more!

Thanks to everyone who responded through email to get into the closed beta list. We have enough people currently and will not be taking any more on.
