Congratulations GG and Melv

Feel like I am spoiling the party a bit by yelling suprise a bit early, but it looks like the final release is now available for download.

I would just like to take a minute and thank Melv and the GarageGames staff for all their hard work on making this a great full release product. I never imagined when I first purchased T2D well over a year ago what a great value (and fun) I would get out of this.

Keep up the good work and I look forward to verson 1.2 :)

All I have to say is that Garage Games has made the best darn tool for game development period.
I agree this is like a christmas present.

I also feel special since I was an early adopter I get the engine and source. You better look out. :D For great games that is .

I'm so happy this came out today, I wonder when they'll fully announce the break into games competition. Can't wait for that too.

I too feel a little surprised and very happy about the final product. I was even more surprised that the EA's got the Pro version. Then again, I didn't know there was going to be a version without source.

Either way I'm really happy for the GG group. Still hate the name though. I think it's probably a marketing stunt to get people who really hate the name to pay the extra 1k so they don't have to show the logo!
Just kidding ;)

Sam M-

Hehe. That does make me laugh a bit.

"I hate logos! $1k? I suddenly love logos!"

Aside from the unfortunate name and the shortcomings of TorqueScript that irritate me daily, it's an outstanding product well worth all the money GG asks for in return. Kudos to Melv, Josh, and the editor programming crew!

Nice one guys!

Everything you ever needed to make a 2D game...

Just glad I found it in EA... heh.

Its a damn sight better than Haaf's engine! =)

(And all of the cheap ones too!)

Wow! Yeah, it looks like it's done? Thanks alot to everyone over at GG who's been bustin' their asses on this for a long time now. It felt awesome to see the "TGB Pro Indie - Source Included", LOL! I've had EA for almost a year. I can't believe it's done... No announcement on the General Discussion forum? I'll fix that, hehe.

EDIT: Hmm, are you guys trying to keep it on the low-down until you get something else done? Oh well, I'll keep my mouth shut because it seems odd that the final release is out but there's no announcement. Great work on the websites 'new' look, too. I guess the word is out now anyway. :)
