Q.	How do I get into the closed beta?
A.	Closed beta is available by invite, application (not yet available), or by winning one of the contests.

Q.	How is Renwerx finding TSE in regards to adapting it to their game?
A.	Its going great! Working with TSE is enjoyable. However, it’s always more challenging to work with a new piece of software.

Q.	Is there anything us average humans with no skinning skills can do to support the project, other than the donations page?
A.	There are a number of things that you can do to help besides working directly on the project. One of the most important would be to spread the word about the project, the bigger the community, the more fun. Also, hanging out in the forums and taking part in the discussions that occur in them is a big help. It allows the developers to get active feedback on what you are looking for in the game.

Q.	What are the advantages of using TSE over TGE?
A.	TSE has rebuilt nearly every aspect the Torque Engine for optimization, including a massive graphics upgrade over TGE. Of course, the netcode is superb, and takes full advantage of the capabilities afforded by modern server technology. Although the main advantages are in graphic rendering and appearance, TSE represents a revolutionary advance in game engine design.

Q.	What Operating Systems are you developing the game for?
A.	Right now we are focusing on Windows ® Based systems. Once TSE supports other operating systems we will consider porting functionality for Linux.

Q.	What will the graphics look like compared to TGE games, such as Tribes 2?
A.	The Garage Games Torque Shader Engine (TSE) includes a complete graphics system overhaul. This means you can expect to see much more sophisticated shading & shadows unavailable in the older Torque Gaming Engine (TGE), as well as ‘eye candy’ environmental effects. The bottom line is this game will look next-generation.

Q.	When will the next beta spot be competed for?
A.	We will not pre-announce beta spot competitions, as it is as much a reward for the dedicated community members, as it is to get people to help test the game.

Q.	Will beta testing be mostly internal?
A.	We will have both closed, and open beta periods before the final release.
