replyThats sad. I wonder what happens to engine updates and T2D. The website says torquepowered.com will stay up for now, but that doesn't sound good.

I started downloading and backing up all of my purchased products last night, just to be on the safe side. I also took a look at the Unity engine, which is really nice looking. I might move my projects to it and leave Torque behind. T2D still has a lot of potential, though.
