Hello,
What is the difference?
What does having Source Code Included allow you to do over not having it?

What is the differece between T3D DEMO and the 100$ version? (other than 32 object limit)

I think that the $100 have all the tools and editors...

And you need source code only one your game mechanics need someone complex that the engine not have, and you can make with script... this is valid for ANY game engine...

@Killian - The binary version of Torque 3D removes the object limit, allows you to publish any games you make (without royalties), and will usually be more up to date than the demo.

Why should I upgrade to Torque 3D Pro?

1. Source access. This will allow you to integrate 3rd party tech not available in the stock engine: AFX, Havok, Scaleform, etc.

2. Access to Alphas and Betas. Torque 3D Pro owners get early access to new versions of the engine and preview docs. I have not checked out the binary download yet, but I believe it is 1.0.1. Professional owners currently have access to 1.1 Alpha, which includes the Forest Editor, Sketch Tool, and more.

3. We are working on exposing our bug tracker system for our engines, viewable by the public. The plan is to allow this for Professional users only.
