TGB Kart Kit
Cascadia Games
The TGB Kart Kit provides a foundation for the rapid creation of retro 3D racing games in Torque 2D or iTorque 2D. It has been designed to run on Windows, Mac, and iPhone.
The TGB Kart Kit lays the technical foundation for a "mode 7" style racing game such as F-Zero or Super Mario Kart. The kit includes the example game "Cascadia Kart" -- a complete, published game with script, art, music, sounds and source code. Included documentation provides tutorials and instructions on how to modify the example game or build your own from scratch. Prototype your game within hours, instead of days or weeks. It is the fastest way to produce a multi-platform racing title. Don't have source? No, problem. The kit also comes with pre-built Windows and Mac Torque 2D 1.7.4 executables, thus Torque 2D Pro is not required to utilize this kit.The TGB Kart Kit is fully optimized and tested on all supported Torque 2D platforms. Developers gain access to the TGB Kart Kit forum as well as direct email support from Cascadia Games.
Build your game in 2D and play it in 3D. The TGB Kart Kit comes with the script to quickly enable a 3D "mode7" view for any 2D game. It is 100% compatible with levels built in the Level Builder. Includes the example game "Cascadia Kart", a one time Apple App Store "Hot New Game" that contains the following:
