GarageGames today announced the release of Torque Game Engine Advanced (TGEA) v1.8 for Windows PC and Mac OS X users. This update adds an OpenGL graphics implementation and support for Mac OS X. Developers using TGEA 1.8 will be working with the same technology that GarageGames uses to provide Mac-compatible versions of popular games on InstantAction such as Fallen Empire: Legions, Rokkitball, and Marble Blast Online. Features include advanced material systems, procedurally generated shaders, integrated real-time editors, developer resources and thorough documentation. The update is free to all current licensees.
