I worked with the Dark GDK which uses the DarkBasic engine. Never really liked it, though. It felt unfinished and the documentation was pretty poor. But it was easy to udnerstand and allowed using C++. So it was easy to combine it with just about everyhting. What I did was using it with Newton and my Wiimote code. Worked very well. Importing models however was a real pain. I ended up writing a MDL5 importer which solved all my import problems  But for free it's worth a try.

I htink they try to follow 3D Unity style license ! "the only difference is that this version is supported by advertisements" Advertisements during gameplay ? And it is free to sell a gam made with it ? Slow engine , and have lot of bugs : but even with that some young people have done fantastic creations Soulhunter Dego 2D game Can be a great introduction to programming for game dev ! And it's free ,so why not !!

Seriously: I like the Acknex package a lot more, DarkBasic/GDK did not really feel on par. Of course that might have been just me, but concerning the tools provided I see no real big advantage over A7. In fact I had not any editor at all since you needed to pay for Tools like 3D World Studio. I did not do that for a short simple contest project.

i am truthfully not interested in another engine. i know A6 has its flaws, but learning an new lanquage is not something i am interested in, just wondering about it. i downloaded it, but i will install it another time when i have time to play around. thanks guys.
