Increase the Power of Dark GDK

Due to the way Dark GDK was designed it is easy for skilled developers to create new commands and features you can use in your own games. Here we present commercial expansion packs that give Dark GDK hundreds of additional commands to play with.

Blitzwerks Terrain

Blitzwerks Terrain is a plugin for DarkBASIC Professional and Dark GDK which allows you to import high detail terrains into your games and render them at very high speed.

Tree Party

Tree Party is a Dark Basic Pro / Dark GDK library application that allows the developer to include highly detailed, realistically animated 3D mesh trees into their Dark Basic Pro / Dark GDK applications with little effort. This system was designed to closely match the native functions of Dark Basic Pro / Dark GDK - so adapting the library to your projects is a snap! This version of Tree Party is not a port of the original Tree Party - it's a complete re-write from the ground up to allow for the more advanced features of Dark Basic Pro / Dark GDK, including shaders and mesh deformation. A lot of additional time has been spent with this release to ensure the end-developer the most realistic yet practical tree system possible. We are confident you will appreciate the extra effort put into this product.

Dark Shader

Dark Shader allows you to select a shader from a collection that are provided with the application, or one of your own, and to modify any variables it contains without having to open the shader's source code. The shader variables can be modified using sliders, color pickers, or text entry depending on the variable's type. Changes can then be exported along with any model and textures you have selected to be used in DarkBASIC Professional.
