Holiday Bundles Bring Joy to Good Girls and Boys!
by David Montgomery-Blake · 12/09/2011 (9:57 am) · 41 comments
The holidays are around the corner, which means that here in our desert town called Las Vegas it is dipping below the 50’s -- it was actually 27 degrees this morning and we had a “freeze warning”. All around town, people are putting up fake trees, hanging Christmas lights, and spraying on fake snow. I even happened to pass Carrot Top at a greenhouse and nursery where a craft fair was happening last weekend.
It seems everyone in Vegas is getting into the holiday spirit, so we decided that we here in the GarageGames cave would as well!
Buy Torque 3D, get 3 art packs free!
That’s right, if you purchase Torque 3D, you will auto-magically get the Soldier Weapons, Alien, and Alien Weapons art packs for free! Now that’s the holiday spirit!
But the good news does not stop there! We get a lot of requests for bundles of our software, and the most common requests are for our 2D engines.
Buy iTorque 2D and Get Torque 2D for $50!
So, for only $199, you get two complete 2D engines. This means you can create 2D games for Windows, Mac, and the iPhone, all with one convenient price-tag!
And that’s not all! (In my best used-car salesman’s voice). We also have some third-party promotions from some of our best community developers! We are currently running promotions on AFX and the 3D Action Adventure Kit! AFX is 50% off and the 3D Action-Adventure Kit is 25%.
AFX 2.0
FaustLogic has been one of our long-time supporters and has done some exceptional work with their product. It is easily among my favorites in our store.
3D Action Adventure Kit
UbiqVisuals have done some amazing work with this kit. From cameras to climbing to creating a consistent action-adventure framework, this kit is one of my favorites in our store!
All these deals are on for a limited time so grab them now.
From the team at GarageGames, we hope that you and yours are safe and warm this holiday season!

The old price images were accidentally pushed live, we're fixing that now.

That makes sense, good luck with the promotion. Is the Torque 3D package going to be available all holiday season?

We haven't announced the end date for these promotions. We like to be flexible in how long we have promotions based largely on how many people like current promotions vs new ones. Sorry.

Yes, this promotion will last throughout the holiday season.

How about people that upgraded? Do we get anything for the holidays :)

The problem with doing a large number of promotions is that it is easy to have them get lost. We had to choose among the things that people have been consistently asking for in our discussions with the community. Engine + bundles and 2D engine bundles floated to the top extremely quickly.
Fear not, we'll have more promotions in the future, but these are the ones that we have currently based on feedback.

There are promotions for AFX and 3DAAK. Both of those are excellent products.The problem with doing a large number of promotions is that it is easy to have them get lost.

I do not believe they have updated it for 1.2 yet. I believe the work is being done on it now. UbiqVisuals would have to chime in on it. I know that they updated it for 1.1 upon release.

Aye David what if one already has Torque 2D is there a dicount avaliable for just iTorque 2D.
#17
EDIT:
Oops, Just saw that it was T2D in your post. We would need to discuss how to do it with T2D Studios.

Unfortunately, we do not have a dedicated discount for people who already have iTorque 2D. We thought about doing it initially, but with 4 promotions going on, managing it would be a nightmare. We might look into it if we have more requests, though. We had a brainstorming session on ways to handle it if it was requested. :)EDIT:

Man this would be good for me as I really want iTorque2D. I guess I will be checking daily in case something changes.

....and the T3D deal is very tempting too!

I'm with Shakey, but with the reverse problem. I have iT2d, and just need T2d. ....and the T3D deal is very tempting too!

I might have to scrap together 179$. Are you allowed to mention how long this lasts?Also I wanted to see how good the deal on the Torque 2D and iTorque 2D combo was. I went to the Torque 2D page and it says buy both for $200 but it also has a big blue $99. The iTorque page also has the big blue $99, but it says until 10/11/2011 (outdated). I added iTorque, Torque 2D, and the package to my cart and this is what comes up:
iTorque: 149$
Torque 2D: 128$
Package: 199$
Customers may get confused. Thank you for the promotion.
