Skyway 89 Beta 1
« on: December 31, 2005, 05:21:00 pm »
After experimenting with 68k BASIC as well as with TIGCC for more than a year, this holiday I decided to start working on a serious game. It is a sky-shooter game called Skyway. Skyway will eventually be on many platforms, but I started with the TI-89 because development time was faster and funner.

Please visit the link above and give me feedback. The game is far from done, but I wanted to release an early version on New Year's Day as a small gift to the TI community :)smile.gif

Happy New Year!

Looks Sweet.  I'll have to try it out tommorrow.  You'll have the pleasure of knowing that your game is going to be the first game I've played on my 89.  You should feel special.

WOW!!!  I just tried it and it is amazing.  The Graphics are sweet and I didn't find any glitches.  The one thing is possibly an option when you die to restart, not have to close out and start again.  I think the life bonuses and weapon upgrades would be really sweet too and help a lot.

Thank you for your kind words. I agree, bonus powerups will really enhance the game. I also have a nice idea for a bonus that will set Skyway apart from other shooters, you'll see ;)wink.gif
