Use in Torque3d #185

Closed SimonMGS closed 3 years ago

SimonMGS commented 3 years ago

The readme mentions that The-Forge is used in Torque3D, but as far as I can tell this is not the case. I was hoping to have a look at The-Forge in the context of an accessible engine. Are there any other engines where we can make use of this renderer?

I think the Torque3D developer is on the discord channel. You want to talk to him about that. Apart from Hades, which is also closed-source, there are AAA custom engines that use it but their source code is not public either.

I saw the guy that originally proposed it was asked about it on their Discord, and his response "don't hold your breath", and that it would make more sense to build a different engine around The-Forge. As far as I can tell, there isn't a line of this project in that engine. Might be an idea to remove it from the readme, so more folks like me don't waste time discovering this for themselves.

"The Forge is used as the rendering framework in Torque 3D"

It definitely isn't.
