Happy New Year: Torque 2D Full Speed AheadThere were a lot of great events in 2015, of which my favorite was the revitalization of Torque 2D MIT. Peter and Chris have taken up the reigns and wasted no time in improving our favorite 2D game engine. If you check out the GitHub pages for Contributors and Commit Activity, you will see a huge increase in activity. So it should be no surprise that we have a new release!
