Read the getting started tutorial, it will lead you on your path. give you a hint before you start, make a copy of the game style you are working with, so if its a FPS, copy it and rename the name of your project. then open the main.cs file and change the default to the exact name of your folder(case sensitive). and then starter up, that way you always have a clean copy of the original code to draw from.

torqudemo.exe is torque game engine.. it just comes preprogrammed as the demos and starter kits..
in stock torque as it comes when you installed.. has all the features built in in the exe ..but itself alone doesnt run... it needs to have pre programmed actions and behaviors in torque script to run..its more like a player that plays your game that you programmed in torquescript and renders and does what ever is needed
the first thing torquedemo.exe does after iniatilizing some features is look for a file called main.cs in the same directory ..where its defined what to do, which folders contain the common operation functions and which directory contains the game behavior and data..in this case... the common functions are in the common directory and the game data are in both starter.fps for the fps starter kit and starter.racing for the racing starter kit...
tge is a very capable indie engine but the idea of how it is and how it works at first can be confusing as hell.. .. ive been there.. but with a little bit of research in this site, the resourcess tdn and the forums...
everything gets clear.. its not that complicated as you may think but clearly it isnt easy hehehe
hope this helps
Cheers!
