Only if you buy the ~$15 Deluxe version with a Farm can you barely escape the dreaded micro-transactions. Not to mention quadruple the price of the mobile version.:(

Incidentally, if one had bought Torchlight from the Ubuntu Software Center, an update was released today to fix the missing faces. =) Probably an updated one on your Humble Bundle page also.

Hey if you've got the cash, go for it! :P. Had my eye on it for awhile, but I'll hang around until it's on sale for $19.95 :whistle:

I should have included it in my comment, but I wrote it while standing and was in a rush. Yes, totally true the real story is the editor, but what's the point if the games created run badly and make customers angry?. Apparently a Unity pro license is $1500 for all platforms and a Unigine license is something like $30,000 but as I said, I read about Indie devs being able to negotiate the price down to around $2000.

Of course none of this is helpful to Indie devs just starting out with little to no money. Which is why I noted Ogre. The more the merrier I say, right?.

Looks really nice!. Not laggy either, everything looks to be functioning smooth. Thanks for all the hard work ;)

Personally I like Unigine (Oil Rush) It's a little more expensive than Unity but it runs great and looks wonderful even on older machines. From my experience, Unity takes quite a toll on machines. Games like Kerbal and Verdun which use Unity, don't run very good even on hardware only a few years old.

I just built my computer last year yet games like those two run like molasses even on low. Of course this is from my observations of my few computers in house. This engine looks really nice though and I am grateful that we have more choice for developers. And no matter the cost of all these engines, I have heard of Indie devs being able to negotiate the price of Unigine and Unity.

Let's not forget about Ogre too, it's free and doesn't look that bad; Torchlight for example. Incidentally, Torchlight 2 I think uses Ogre, I wish we had a native port of that. I had a blast playing Torchlight.

See, I read it. ^_^ Question, the Amazon's site only lists Mac and Windows, do they give you a Steam key or something?.

Edit: Goodness, we keep bumping into each other lol
