Pixel & Vertex Shader Support NVIDIA and ATI's powerful new graphics cards have inspired us to support both Pixel and Vertex shaders. You have full and direct control of these awesome hardware effects from within DarkBASIC Professional. Pixel Shaders are used to alter lighting and surface effects that replace artificial, computerized looks with materials and surfaces that mimic reality.
Vertex Shaders are used to breathe life and personality into characters and environments. For example, through vertex shading you can create true-to-life dimples or wrinkles that appear when a character smiles or you can ripple shockwaves through a land matrix. The illustration above shows 6 different DarkBASIC Professional shaders in action.
Commercial Quality Games 
A lot of developers like to create and then self-publish their games, offering them for sale from their web sites. One such high-class example written in DarkBASIC Professional is 3D Mahjong. The quality level of graphics, sound and extreme playability showcase perfectly just what DarkBASIC Professional is capable of.
Features All games created with DarkBASIC Professional are License and Royalty free.
All games can be distributed as a stand alone executable.

About Into the Dark with 5 comments by IvanErtlov on May 3rd, 2012
WOHO!!!
THANK YOU VERY MANY!
(allright, this joke was stolen from Leningrad Cowboys. Still its good and reflects my own English skills).
We don`t know who the 100.000th visitor was. If we knew, we would invite him to closed Beta. However, the magic number was reached close after posting our latest Outdoor Pictures.
Yes, Outdoor Pictures. Portraiing Ingame scenes from "Into the Dark".
Lush, sunny, green pictures.
In our beloved Nazi.Zombie.Hooker.Adventure.Shooter.
BLASPHEMY I SAY!
Still they are here:
As I want to have everything very dark and grungy in my games, I am often overruled. Sometimes by my Beta testers, sometimes by my 3D guys and sometimes by my Art Director. As the Art Director is my girlfriend, too, I`m basically outgunned.
And as the first feedback here in IndieDB on the outdoor screens is also overwhelming, I´m convinced that there are worse ideas then outdoor levels.
Nuclear warfare, as example.
So, in order to acknowledge that and to say "Thank You" to all of you fellow watchers, Visitors and friends, I have put up one more Picture from there:
Now lets give a "cheers!" to our unknown 100.000th visitor, lets pull a bottle of Bavarian, Austrian or Czech Beer - any good beer will do. Americans can use Whiskey, as they have no good beer.
(Note to our U.S. friends: The yellow softdrink sold to you as "Budweiser" is not allowed to be advertised as that in EU countries. Simply because of the fact that your Bud is technically the liquid a dog urinates after drinking real CZECH Budweiser.)
and lets sing together "Where the Wild Roses grow" to the rhytm of our moving sea roses.
Wait, you can`t see them move?
Yes, right, because we only posted pictures so far.
If THEY move, you are drunk. But that`s forgiven if you were the 100.000th Visitor on

I think the help files are pretty useful -.-
Not bad but needs to be cleaned up, some commands don't really work.
Had potential , but it's less popular than the other big engines which now sadly even become free or very cheap but are more supported with tutorials , help and such .
but DBP is free now
