About:
GarageGames is an incubator for independent games and game makers who want free reign over their content - it was founded on the premise that it is time for the gaming industry to have a vibrant and sustainable independent developer segment. The vision behind the company is to even the technology playing field to allow creative, independent developers with tiny budgets to make innovative, fun, and profitable games.
For developers, GarageGames\' is best known for providing its flagship Torque Game Engine to independent game developers for the extremely low price of $100 per programmer. The development community that has grown up around the Torque over the past four years now forms the backbone of the indie games community. Based around the many free services GarageGames offers (such as help wanted ads, developer and project profiles, resource submission and searching, and a forum system connected to over 30,000 like-minded independent game developers), the community can help people get started in game development, help them with problems when they get stuck, as well as keep them motivated then things get tough.
Once a game is completed, whether a developer uses the Torque Game Engine or not, GarageGames has an on-line publishing model that pays large royalties on a monthly basis, does not attempt to own intellectual property rights or box rights, and has contract language that treats the developer as a human rather than a commodity.
