Now i'm not straying from DBPro (because i haven't used it in months) but a situation has arrived where i need to program a 3d game for the mac and i don't know which language to turn to, any ideas?

It would be different if DBPro was available for the Mac, then a post about alternatives couldn't be allowed, but I don't think this will get locked as it's hardly about competitive products.

There's only 1 language I would suggest, that's PureBasic - the 3D engine is a little bit limited, so I hope your not expecting DBPro style 3D commands, but the language itself is great. I use it at work for applications, so have only really had a quick mess around with the 3D stuff, but it might be just the thing if your prepared to work completely differently than DX forces us to.

There are all sorts you can play with, all vary, but try them out with demos or the full version (if they're free) first. Few are:

-Irrlicht and C++ (Free)
-Ogre and C++ (Free)
-Torque Game Engine - Use C++ to edit the engine - this one is a bit difficult to use unless you're familiar enough with C++, the C-structure and scripting (Approx $150)
-Unity - Not an engine I've tried as it is Mac only (as I don't own a mac) but it looks promising and popular...the more expensive version allows you to build as a Windows application (Price - ??? there's 3 versions)

Of course with a Mac, all you need to do is kick up C++ in XCode and you're sorted as it comes free with the computer.
