Educational game design and development programs have increased in sophistication in recent years. Programs range from art and game design schools to technical colleges and degree programs within larger universities. Some are focused on portfolio development while others are modeled on traditional degree programs.
The Torque Game Engine provides a proven standard with over 25 successful commercial games to its credit and a solid and growing base of documentation. Most importantly, the hundreds of man hours it takes to build a quality engine are available at educational prices. Students can even afford to purchase this engine even when classes are over! Building a game in any engine has a learning curve, but with Torque that challenge isn't made impossible by not having access to the source. Students can successfully create and finish portfolio quality games and work on key technology enhancements that will interest employers as well as equip them to be valuable contributors on any game development team.

"The people at TorquePowered.com are making it very easy for game development instructors with the one-two punch of Torque Game Builder and Torque Game Engine. Students with absolutely no experience in game development can have the satisfaction of building fun and functional 2D and 3D games in as little as one quarter. The best part is that everything they learn using the 2D engine is totally transferable for use with the 3D engine. That means less wasted effort for instructors and students. Win, win."
- Kevin O'Gorman, Chair of Game Design &
Development, American InterContinental University |
