That's an old post FYI

Not as old as I'd like. o_O

Reformatting the text could delay the game for another year or two.

I wonder if Torque is incapable of storing chunks of text with formatting in string variables in order to display a stream of text as the stages of a dialogue moves on. Add the currently displayed text to a string storing the previous ones and display all at once. But then again, aren't text chunks actually independent entries that are called from a database? In that case, shouldn't it be possible to do something like adding dialogue chunk IDs to an array or storing them in a variable as a dialogue moves on and then using a function like StreamDiaEntry(x,y,z,...) which would grab all dialogue IDs from the array or the variable and use a hypothetical CallDialogueEntry(#) for each entity in the array or variable to display them as a stream?

Yeah, I'm probably over-simplifying the process in my mind but that's what The Brazilian Slaughter would do anyway.

2000 favourites, nice. How about putting a preorder link on the page, or would that not be permissible?

So what happens when a game gets greenlighted? Valve contributes to the development of that game? or they simply allow the peasants to sell their game on glorious Steam platform?

Yup.
