50% Price Reduction On All Arcane-FX Products

Pricing on all AFX products has been reduced by 50%. This includes all new purchases, upgrades, and cross-grades. Here is the new purchase/upgrade pricing matrix for Indie developers:
* -- If you have AFX1-for-TGEA, there's no way to upgrade to AFX2-for-TGE by itself, but an upgrade to AFX2-for-TGEA, also includes AFX2-for-TGE at no additional cost.
The latest AFX release for Torque 3D is compatible with T3D 1.1 Beta 3:
www.garagegames.com/products/afx-2.0-torque3d
Here are some of the AFX2 content totals:
- 8 mission variations
- 24 primary spell effects
- 28 minor and experimental effects
- 11 selection effects (selectrons)
The image above depicts a very simple AFX example spell called Mark of GG. It has been included in all off the AFX product versions going all the way back to 2006. During the InstantAction/TorquePowered epoch I was tempted to replace it with an IA or TP logo but never got around to it. Now that GarageGames is back I'm glad I didn't.

Quote:For some reason I remember you calling that.
I can't say that I know for sure myself, except that it's not a quick one-day or one-week sale. Now that GG is offering T3D at $99 dollars, it became clear that the old prices felt out-of-balance to most potential users. We'll see what happens to the revenue stream at these prices, and possibly make some adjustments in the future.

@ Jason White -- My contact at GG informs me that some technical difficulties at GarageGames.com were preventing proper discounting. It might be fixed now.

@ Brian M -- You'll have to ask someone at GarageGames... returns and refunds are exclusively determined by them and I don't know what their specific policy is.

Your purchase was over a year ago and that money was paid to InstantAction, with the royalty distributed at that time. There is no way that we can process a refund on this purchase.
