More Torsion

Tom — Wed, 22 Mar 2006 18:44:38 +0000

While we have been quite busy with contract jobs we’ve somehow managed yet another update to Torsion, our TorqueScript development environment. It has quite a few new features including a new script precompiler step which significantly cuts down on delays due to syntax errors in your scripts. You can read details about the update in Tom’s latest GarageGames’s plan.
