Whats the difference between the demo and the full version of TGE? just the fact, that i get the source code or something else?

can anyone with a license show a screenshot?

With demo you are not allowed to sell the product and its just a Compiled version. with the Full version you get entire source code to the Engine, Access to private Forums and Documentation. added bonus a discount on purchase of T2D :D

Plus after buying torque you can buy RTS Starter kid and the Lighting Pack
and just compile them all for a much more powerful TGE :)

Is it legal to create a game using the demo and then give it away for free?

No plus everyone will be able to change your terrains and gui
becuase F10 and F11 will still be active in your game.

@Peter
Take a look at the license agreement when you installed the demo. It states:
Quote:YOU MAY (ii) modify and create derivative works based upon the software (MOD) for your own personal use.
YOU MAY NOT: translate, disassemble, reverse engineer, decompile or redistribute modified or derivative versions of the Software.

Basically you can mod the demo but you cant distribute it.

Quote:No plus everyone will be able to change your terrains and gui becuase F10 and F11 will still be active in your game.

As for F10 and F11 being active, that can easily be removed from the scripts. Granted it can just as easily be added by someone copying in new script files, but thats another matter.

Ok, thanks for your answers...

another question: if there are a couple of people, the programmers have to own a license, right? and the other people (who do the "artwork") - do they have to work with the demo or what?

Your programmers will compile the engine and let the rest of the team work with it. The rest of the team doesn't need a license (unless they touch the source code or licensed documentation).
