Hi Morrie,

The Torque Lighting Kit for TSE is still in private beta, but you can check out my latest plan for details.

Will I have to purchase the lighting pack for the TSE or can I use the TGE lighting pack.

I believe they'll be two different products, since they will have different features and will hardly share any code.

I was woundering if you know when the lighting pack time frame should be finished and will I still be able to put it in my game I'musing the TSE and I'm half way finished.

It really won't matter how changed your code is, TLK integration is painless. If you're easily confused, expect about 1 hour to get it working. Otherwise, it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes or so.

Thats from synapsegaming's front page

After reading your recent interview on the GG community spotlight wherein you state that the TSE pack upgrade will be free, I just have to say WOW!

Which can be found here

The main project after the 1.1 release is of-course the TSE Lighting Pack release, which ports most of the existing features and tools to TSE, and also adds a few new toys. The TSE and TGE Lighting Packs are 90% identical, with the last bit being tools highly tuned for TSE or TGE, so both will be fully supported after the TSE release.

Downloading code updates is very simple, when an update is released it is uploaded to the Lighting Pack zip file on the Garage Games server. A news item is posted announcing the release and then licensees can download the latest zip file from the Lighting Pack link in their 'Downloadable Products You Own' section of 'My Garage'.

I don't see payed upgrades happening in the near future. Even the TSE release, which involves major development, will be a free update (that's right you heard it here first!). Thats not to say I don't have new graphics related packs in development, but these fall outside of the Lighting Pack's scope and are very separate products (drooling yet? I know I am :).

and so it seems it will be a free upgrade.

Seem to recall a few other mention's of this in the forums.

Which further enhances John's credentials as a kick ass dude.
