I'd be careful about DarkBasic. I used it for a while before
discovering Blitz. While it's sure got support for modern
technologies, I found it to be very unstable and just generally
not as well made as it could be. Just my opinion though.

There was a time when this was very true. However, to give them their due, they've made DB Pro much, much better in recent updates. Is it as stable and solid as B3D? Perhaps not, but probably not far off any more, bearing in mind B3D is getting a few niggling issues as time goes by.
If you've tried a recent version and found this then fair enough, but I have to say I've found the recent versions a vast improvement and certainly something I could work with for an indie game. If I could live with the syntax that makes me want to bash my head through a plate glass window.
