"pier47" or some company used to sell DBC in Australia.

You could always send a money order or money gram directly to TGC from Australia, direct debit is possible as well as a bankcheque, but a bank cheque might cost an extra $10.
Ask Rich what payment method is both best for you and the company.



Have u optimised your cable by getting the sguide tweak at www.speedguide.net?

Pick your payment method : http://darkbasicpro.thegamecreators.com/?gf=payment_options

If you buy the online version and pay using an online method or western-union, you could be using DBPro by the end of the week.

yeah that wire transfer seems the likely option, will have to save up some more money though, gotta pay net bills, possible met fine, and pay my bro off for new vid card too, think teh bundle when i last checked was aroun d90 to 120 aus dollars. i will check which bundle im after now and do a conversion. see what i can work with.


[edit] /me dies. $127 for dbpro by itself then i gotta save up the 9.5k to do a digital video editing course next year. why doesnt the government give me more money i tells ya!

yay and nay, seeing as i kinda hardcore broke up with the girl it was based on, and seeing as how the hard drive with all the stuff that the game was built on got hardcore formatted. infact that pretty much means no, but soon enuff when i get dbpro i will hamzorz it and remake it into a 3d 3rd person adventure game with a similarish story line. + jedis!

funny you should talk about digital editing.

I have to go work to a realtime editing suite tomorrow for a job on a small movie.

Depending on what Software they use theres usually a free version to test on.

For Example tomorrow Im using the grand daddy of this software and this version is free in comparison to the full version, its a good place to get started and exposed to the techniques.

I would however go for Final Cut Pro HD as I prefer its editing layout and setup.

Its always good to learn many packages or u are denying yourself another possible job.



also :

there is a myriad of short courses you can do also that doesnt cost that much and you learn pretty much the same thing.
