I think it should be free for the people who purchased the Torque Lighting Kit :P After all, we paid what TGE currently costs.
@Jedive - lol!
@GG - THANKS!!!! Thanks for a great product, thanks for keeping the prices low.
I'm glad to see 1.5 out for everyone :] However, I'm not looking forward to the comments about the price.

screw the comments about the price.. these guys work there butts off and give us some very nice stuff at almost no cost... anyone who bashes the little bit of a price they do ask for is just flat out ungrateful and probably thinks the whole world owes them something... GG should be praised for their commitment to keeping a quality engine affordable for indie developers!
Thanks a ton guys.. we've all been waiting along time for this and I personally can't wait to dive in head first!!
So, should I upgrade to TGE 1.5, or just buy Torque Shader Engine? It seems like unless you have code invested in TGE the forward looking move is to just upgrade to TSE instead of paying the 50$ upgrade?
Awesome. The content is the main reason to puchase TGE 1.5 instead of TSE. (Atleast currently..) You get a lot more content with it then you could get separately.
FYI, I got an error processing my credit card for the upgrade and called GG. They told me that due to the high demand for the this, their servers are at capacity and to try again later.
As TSE is still in development, you might want to buy TGE 1.5 if you want to start work on something now. The inclusion of the art makes it worth the purchase. For $25 I am glad to pay for someone else to do the integration betweek TLK and TGE. Now if we could get GG to do the same with RTS/TLK/TGE it would be worth the purchase price also!
Torque Advanced Technology is described as "Torque Game Engine Advanced" on the TGE 1.5 page. GG had a change of heart? Most wise.

wow n1 gg,a measly 50 bucks a very big thank you.
ill be upgrading at the weekend for sure
I can't wait to download it! ^.^
Just downloaded it and took it for a spin. Outstanding work GG!! The demo orc village is 500 times more impressive than before. And yes, the interior lighting has been much improved as you said it would be. Integrated TLK into TGE is the real winner in this release.
Fantastic!!
Fantastic guys, really. This has definitely helped me make my decision on which engine to produce our game with.

The Torque Lighting Kit represents several years worth of research, development, and quality assurance by developer John Kabus. Originally a separate product, the Torque Lighting Kit has not only been integrated into TGE for version 1.5, but it has also been re-factored to be cleaner and easier for Torque users to incorporate lighting into their games and environments, and to introduce their own custom lighting models. Additional lighting features include vastly improved interior rendering performance with dynamic lights, improved dynamic light blending on terrains, and updates to the TGE waterblock system which support higher geometry and texture detail.
In addition to the enhanced lighting features, Mac users will enjoy updated platform code which supports OS X 10.2 - 10.4, as well as several other essential Mac updates. Add to that the inclusion of ShowTool Pro and several new art assets, including a new character model and environmental art previously sold separately, and version 1.5 represents one of the largest upgrade to TGE in the engine's history.
