OK, I made the mistake of purchasing t3dgm. I know, its rubbish. Thinking of purchasing DB. I have never written a single line of code in any language. Is this for me? Any advice would be helpful and save me money. Thanks for your help.

DB is where I started and have since gone on to learn several other languages in addition to it. I think it is a great language to get into coding with, but like anything worthwhile, it takes time and effort to learn. you will often get frustrated and stuck, but we have a helpful, clever community here to help out..

DBpro has a free version, no reason not to start there and see how you like it really

Hey James if you have not already got it.

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=137027&b=7

The DB Pro manual at the above thread is a big help.

As well as Daniel Foreman's Video tutorials on youtube -

playlist: Dark Principles

And i believe there are other vids of his here:
