Hmmm... They came out with the online version which is the same thing only it doesn't have the help file or something like that. You can get help in the forums, so you really need it so much. It costs i think around 30$ or 40$.

BTW, getting into the game biz is sometimes expensive. Theres the 3D modeling programs, the level making programs, the programming software, etc.

Nope. There are none (if you're referring to click and drag). Though, TGC is releasing the First Person Shooter Creator sometime later this year, or early next year (or...ah who am I kidding, TGC is horrible with release dates, so it'll be released when its done) and it will cost a pretty hefty sum (and maybe license fees if you wanna go commercial).

This is mainly a programming board, not a click and drag board. I assume thats what you're looking for, and if people find out your "amazing good looking FPS" was made in a click and drag program, you'll lose all your respect, and you'll never create a truely unique game.

But if you're referring to programming, and you just need some free programs to make the media, do a google search, or search around the forum. Topics where someone needs some free or cheap software is quite common around here, and you'll probably find something quite quickly.

Or...if you're referring to programming in general, go to bloodshed.net for the Dev-C++ IDE and compiler. It is C++, so it's going to be harder than Dark Basic (and will require much more work), but the results are pretty much going to be better in the long run.
