Multiplayer tile based game. Need suggestion

#1 Um, Garbage Games? Do you mean Garage Games or is that an engine I'm not aware of?

#2 Some how I think he is mocking GarageGames...

Well, anyways...do you want 2D or 3D?

Torque Game Builder has great network support for turn-based games with no knowledge of C++ required(though you will have to use the C-style scripting language, which with the hundreds of TGB tutorials you should be able to learn most of it in a few days, maybe a week). BUT, TGB is only 2D.

Torque Game Engine and Torque Shader Engine(now renamed Torque Advanced Technology, I think) have great networking support, mainly focused on real-time games though you should be able to make a turn-based game. But, even though you can use the scripting language for alot of things, you may need some C++ knowledge(I think making a turn-based game will most likely require some C++ in TGE/TSE). The upside -TGE/TSE are 3D.

Hope that helps,
Okashira

Side note : The difference between TGE and TSE/TAT is that TSE/TAT has next-gen graphics while TGE 1.5 has about 2 year old graphics and TGE 1.4.2 has about 3-4 year old graphics.

EDIT : If you want 2D, TGB has EVERYTHING you need(no C++ compiler required). I mean you will still need to make graphics and sounds, but besides that TGB has everything.

#3 Thanks for the reply.

I am talking about Garbage Games products(Engines) and 3D.

Suppose I want to make multiplayer chess game playable with 2 human opponents. What products I need to buy to complete above mentioned task. Dont want to use old products. need there latest which can help me build the project.

I have the sound and Graphics for the project.
I am c# developer.

One more thing if you know of.

if I use XNA than which products of garbage games will help me with XNA to build that kind of project.

Thanks

#4 @Rashid

I really have to know. You know there's no B in Garage, right? It's not Garbage. Or are you really just making fun of the name?

Also, if you're using XNA then you'll be using TGB.

#5 You mean Gar-Age Games. Look on top of the Forum theres a Logo. Sez G-a-r-a-g-e not "Garbage"! Unless you are talking about something else entirely. ;)

XNA then go here: www.garagegames.com/products/torque/x/

Otherwise 2D go here: www.garagegames.com/products/torque/tgb/

Reminder: G-a-r-a-g-e. Unless you want people getting the wrong impression of you.

#6 Oh hehe

No man I am not making fun of anything. My damn mistake. Very sorry for this.

I mean GarageGames. Sorry again.

Yes I want to use XNA. What do you mean "if you're using XNA then you'll be using TGB"?

Thanks

#7 Heh. :)

Torque X is based on TGB (Torque Gamebuilder formerly Torque 2D) I think. Read over those two Links they should clear up most of your Questions regarding XNA.

Cheers

#8 One of the link says

"currently the TGB Editors and Torque X features only support 2D games. 3D support is in the works, but is not available with this release. Also, we are not quite ready to release the source to the engine, so Torque X Pro is not yet available for purchase"

I think I should wait till they add 3D support and release Torque X Pro with some tutorials etc.

Thanks for all the help and hoping waiting is better right now

#9 @Rashid
On the 3d thing, I am pretty sure that you will get the 3d upgrade for free if you buy Torque X now. Also, TGE/TSE and TGB are the Garage Game Engines(and TorqueX, which is alot like TGB).
