it also shows tiny shadows of the objects as i move with the camera

I don't know much about shadowing, but it looks like you have something there. I can see the "tiny" shadows, but I don't see the normal shadows. Why are you trying to make shadows in this game anyway? It looks great without them.

I don't think you need shadows as well. They don't look good and will only slow it down. I suggest you use BLOB shadows instead.

Many games use them. Essentially it's just a flat object textured with a "blurred circle" that follows the object.

Then it would've cost twice as much. Not to say more.

Leadwerks, Unity and many other engines have them. DarkGDK is in a tad different category, I see it more like a wrapper for DirectX instead of a game engine (like UDK for example).
