Synapse Gaming has a website!
"Synapse Gaming is an independent game design and technology company formed to encapsulate the Quantum Assault game design team and its growing portfolio of technology." -company profile
Our website can be found at:
www.synapsegaming.com/
The website includes information on the Torque Lighting Pack, Xdif and CsmXdif the next generation Cartography Shop dif compiler.
Matt Summers and Dark Industries designed, built, and host our website (great job guys!).
Comments on the site are welcome.
Torque Lighting Pack
The Lighting Pack is on schedule and looking better than I ever imagined. It's currently undergoing fairly heavy integration and beta testing by a few gg community members. For those of you following the Lighting Pack's development, you know that February will be an exciting month. :)
As usual a little teaser from the Lighting Pack:

The core sdk for Xdif is nearly complete, after I wrap up the sdk I'll integrate it into map2dif, which should be uneventful.
I haven't had as much time as I would have liked to work on Xdif, my current game project is gaining momentum (which is good).
Anyway I've really been itching to release another plan with the latest shots of Xdif in action, but I'll probably hold off for a little while until I have something that really shows off Xdif's capability (not just developer art).

I sent you an email earlier. Any idea when the Lighting Pack will be ready. I am holding off trying to dig into this. Sure would save me a ton of time.
Thanks for your great work and help on this!! I'll make sure you get the appropriate credit.
