The professionalism and support from the DB team is unparalleled. Although DBP has some teething problems, it is without doubt a programming language that will establish itself as the most powerful and accessible language ever created.

I first cut my teeth on DB 1.2 and watched how the team supported and listened to every comment and suggestion. They upgraded and upgraded, each time improving, refining and fixing the bugs and including the commands we wanted. I purchased the full version of DB almost 2 years ago and can honestly say that I have never in my 22 years of computing enjoyed a single piece of software so much and had such vast value for my money.

Although I was never a regular poster on the forums I did make a few games (3D Solitaire to name but one), but I never really shouted about them that much, instead I quietly followed these and all the other user forums religiously, but in the shadows.

Now that DBP is out, I like everyone else couldn't wait to get my hands on it. At first I thought the trial version was far too buggy (mainly because none of my DB programs would work in it), and secondly it didn't seem to do what I wanted it to do as easily as before, but after using the editor/debugger for one evening I was sold. I ordered my upgrade!

Needless to say that it may be some time before we have everything working the way we want it, but the power and speed of DBP, the extended functionality and lower level access is amazing, and we all know that the DBP team will endeavor to grow this language and support it like they always have.

Dark Basic didn't just make a language, they made a language that is teaching thousands of us to become programmers, game designers and artists, and it is with our support that they make this possible. SO hats off to them for struggling through and bringing DBP to us all - I know my $70 is well spent.

So let’s show the team our overwhelming support by marking this thread with as many “THANK YOU” messages as possible. If we show the team our support, they will support us with their goodies.

DB#1 is now very stable and works good.
In DBPro they had to make everything again from the blank table still including all exist features that are in DB#1.

I believe all it requires is TIME! and I am ready to wait till it is as stable as DB#1.

DBPro is a great product!!

Thankyou to DBS.

The evil plan is now even closer!

Cool standing ovation thread
Nice for the guys to know if they ever are wonderin' about the point in bothering with all the moans a such - that we all appreiciate thier hard work and long hours (those who've worked as pro coders and artists especially)

if anyone has noticed only Blitz and DarkBASIC have not only jumped machines during their lifetime but also survived for going on 15years as languages

For me DBpro is everything that I was waiting for, and everything that was promised.
I feel that as DBpro develops we will see great strides in speed, effects and ablities added...

However there is something nice about knowing that it is a home grown product ... perhaps though the best justification and thanks we could all give the team is making a game or application that they can go into Game and see sitting there on the shelf.

I havent had soo much fun programming since the days of AMOS. Like bread and paperclips, I think you're on to something big!

Lets just hope users out there will use their imagination to fully harness this SUPERB tool!

Because they just haven't yet...

Its a great product, but its also a wonderful community (the responses on this thread show that).
There is nowhere else I am so sure of a helpful, friendly, response to a question, or so happy to give help to another (here and on the original DB forums).

Oh and I think DB to DBPro is a much better upgrade than AMOS to AMOSPro, given that I bought AMOSPro in good faith only to find out I still had to pay extra for a compiler (how can it be called professional if you cannot build a stand alone product? )

.... Sorry about that, you`d have though I`d have gotten over that by now.

I agree with everyone else here. A BIG WELL DONE to the DB Team. Your product has bought endless enjoyment & fascination back to the PC. As someone mentioned earlier ... it's like having AMOS on the PC. I have also followed DB since the beginnings and intend to carry on doing so. I'm more than willing to wait for the bugs to be fixed ... everything has teething problems. I will shout the name Dark Basic to whoever will listen (and who won't listen for that matter). Keep up the good work DB Team, I appreciate your efforts immensely and I am sure that everyone else here does as well.
