Educational game design and development programs have increased in sophistication in recent years. Programs range from art and game design schools to technical colleges and degree programs within larger universities. Some are focused on portfolio development while others are modeled on traditional degree programs.

The Torque Game Engine provides a proven standard with over 25 successful commercial games to its credit and a solid and growing base of documentation. Most importantly, the hundreds of man hours it takes to build a quality engine are available at educational prices. Students can even afford to purchase this engine even when classes are over! Building a game in any engine has a learning curve, but with Torque that challenge isn't made impossible by not having access to the source. Students can successfully create and finish portfolio quality games and work on key technology enhancements that will interest employers as well as equip them to be valuable contributors on any game development team.

Important Features:

• Multiplatform
• Proven Engine - Respected in the Industry
• Full Source Code
• Quality Tools and Editors
• Award Winning Networking for Full Multiplayer
