hmm okay, to elaborate on my game a little more:
- i plan for a multiplayer system (minimum 5v5, maybe going upward to 15v15) on a dedicated server.
- there will be a story mode which will have scripted events, etc where 1-3 friends may join to aid.
- the game will be in third person view, camera losely follows the character.
- There will be ranged and melee combat.
- I plan to use hitbox detection for weapons and shields.
- there will be aerial battles too (which requires jetpacks, aerial physics, etc).
- planning to implement a feature where the player may shoot grappling hooks onto walls and they may climb or rappel.
- wall jumping
- stealth effect (transparent warpy object)
- the player character models would have changeable parts dependent on what he/she equips (arms, legs, head, etc)
- AI for bots and the story mode.
- having multi platform options is always a plus too.

I'm rather mostly worried about the game engine's network code and limitations (who knows, there may be something that prevents me from doing what i want above).[/quote]

Would it be able to make a handle fast-paced third person action game that is heavily scripted? (I am not too familiar with unity myself other than some suggestions ive read from forums threads, my original impression of unity was that it was a game engine for iOS)

Another question though, if say I first develop my game in the free version of unity, but in future decide to upgrade to pro, would it be easy to convert over? or would it almost feel like reprogramming the entire game in a different engine?

Poor documentation. [/quote]
Check out our tutorial and judge for yourself. You can download the full engine (all features) but without source code. http://bit.ly/O6BetU

There have been cases where something wrong has slipped through...and since I've been with the company we removed anything that was in a gray area. There was a time in our past history where we had some very lofty questionable language. On my first week at the job we removed anything questionable

Fixes come in new versions that leave you abandoned and scammed, etc.[/quote]
We've spent well over two years fixing bugs. We had one paid for update in the past four years and we asked for $49.00. If you didn't want to upgrade, we gave you the bug fixes for free.

No one ever produces anything with it.[/quote]
The reality is that a very, very, small percentage of indie developers produce games with any engine. Making a full game is very difficult and time consuming. There have been several Indie titles on Steam that were built on Torque. Here's a bigger list for you to look at:

The best product produced with Torque is a shitty tech demo filled with programmer art on Xbox Live to market their engine.[/quote]
See above...

It's true that we have a very different product than Unity or UDK. If you want source code, you can't beat our engine. We do have a steeper learning curve and teams with strong programmers tend to do better with our tech. We also have the lowest price with zero royalties.

GarageGames was sold one and a half years ago. If you haven't tried Torque in several years then you are talking about an almost completely different company.
