#1 Ah the first IRC Hour of the year. It's still got that new IRC Hour smell.

#2 Sweet.
I'd like to hear more about the game jam.
c u there.

#3 I'm confused. Is it today the 1/20 or tomorrow 1/21?

#4 We'll see if I can stay awake. My IRC client will at least usually be logged in, so if you lose the log AGAIN, just ask me ;)

#5 @Britt
Third Thursday of the month if I remember correctly.

[edit] or "3rd Thursday of every month" as it actually says!

#6 Thanks. The Blog preview text was throwing me off.

Quote:It's that time again: the 1/21/2010 IRC Hour will be happening today at 3:00pm (PST).

#7 Torque2D? It's been a while since last we heard anything.

#8 Removed "today" reference and added Chad's suggestion.

#9 I just talked to Nostradamus and he predicts we will see T3D 1.1 Beta tomorrow. Will be on IRC, thanks guys, you guys are doing a magnificent job. The engine is an overkill, can't wait to see what you have in store leading up to 1.1 final.

#10 Torque 3d for iPhone update please

#11 ...bummer, giggin' during those hours...dang it!

#12 Torque2D Is the project dead? Sure seams that way..... No IRC topic, no blog, no posts. TGB doesnt work work modern OSes without code patches, no updates to TGB is forever and a day, no nothing. <sarcasm>Very good communication from the company on Torque2D</sarcasm>

If I wasn't working I would attend the IRC Hour just to ask about T2D status, not that I would get an answer.

#13 Hey everyone, just wanted to jump in here.

I'll take the blame for the lack of updates. With the new transition I've asked everyone to take a step back ( something we should do every year ) and look at their projects, find long term opportunities to improve them, and access critial risks that cause release slips. If you are a programmer, I think this process is most similar to refactoring. It's how technology builds a better foundation for growth.

Nothing is dead. If anything, we are looking for areas to invest in more ( I know you have a lot of ideas; we have 100s that we documented and organized last week ). Our commitment to community is ever strong and we are looking to improve in that domain as well.

@Justin, I hope we get the chance to win you over. It may take a lot of work on our part to get to the levels we need to achieve this goal -but I'm very confident. The team here is strong and very talented.

Anyways, I've done more soap box talking than I'd like to do. The proof will be in what we accomplish, not promise.

#14 looking forward to the IRC hour and the T2D / T3D informations, its only midnight here so easy :)

#15 Torque 3D for the iPhone please...

The current version is too unstable to use, and it only works on the 2.2 SDK technology.

Didn't I hear somewhere that they were going to update the codebase from TGE to T3D?

#16 Mah! I have school at three!

Ill be here at four...

#17 Will be cool if you add small script that will count how much time left to the IRC Hour. Because some people leave in different time zone and it is hard to count how much time for left

#18 @Eric - Thanks for jumping in

@Justin - Before you posted, the topic of Torque 2D update was added via community suggestion. It was already planned. Eric covered why there has been a lack of communication, but as he said, we can fully attest that development is coming along nicely. We'll talk about that more in IRC later today. The transcript will be posted around 5 or 6 tonight. So up the patience please =)

#19 TorqueX and iTorque, those would also be great topics
