I notice that you sell Dark Game Studio for $89 and now you have a version of almost the same thing with only downloads for $135. (Now that I have the disk on the way here.)
Aren't you competing with yourself and killing some of the sales by releasing product packages for us to buy twice?

The questions will be answered in the newsletter (see the first post ).
It's unstickied because the team need time to answer, and I need time to produce the article. Any questions since it was unstickied may be answered another time.

You should do a separate news letter instead of combining it into the monthly one, that way you can push out more answers than having a thriving community wait and sitting their being puzzled -- Like we are now...

Any new tools in the works for DarkBASIC Pro or DarkGDK?

And what about a TGC appearance schedule for game conferences over the next 6 months to a year or so. You have a number of shows you attend every year?

Why have you stopped supporting DBC? I LOVE DBC! I would appreciate it if you at least fixed the d3drm.dll problem so we don't have to download it every time a newcomer comes so he gets it.

I second that! Why is that the one issue that's not addressed? Fix DBC, then we'll talk about upgrading to DBPro.

Permanoobs are awesome.

Man, I missed this, cause I would have asked why doesn't DBP have the nesseary commands to make a average game without having to use plugins, for example collision (one of many), you'd think that this is a pretty important aspect in nearly all games so why isn't it in DBP. Though I guess we'll never no now, just hope they do this again sometime.

DBP has collision as standard. I, among many, have written games using standard collison. Sparky's collision is also as good as standard, written by a TGC staff member.

Really, cause object collision() doesn't seem that accurate and sometimes doesn't even register when objects are moving fast. Then again Sparky's collision as been around near the beginning so I guess there was no need to improve on what has already been done through Sparky's. Then again if it was written by a TGC member (which I didn't know btw), why wasn't it just implented in the first place or through an update.

It wouldn't exist if DBP could do collisions so well, so were there problems in trying to implement it, or maybe the fact that you where creating a whole language so your bound to miss a few commands, luckly this was corrected with Sparky's plugin.

They weren't a TGC member when it was written.

That's what I thought at first but I couldn't remember, I guess that voids my last post then. Nevermind.
