Thanks guys :-)

Next up on the list is more storyline, maybe some more boobytraps and a few tasks for certain levels so that there's more to do than just killing scifi characters, as fun as that may be.

jsj795, there's an alpha already out, it's only got a couple of levels and no energy cannon, but you can goof around with it. here's the forum link where it is. http://tifreakware.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=1042&st=420 it's somewhere down in the posts, and you also need the HW3Patch if you are using an 89 titanium edition, which there's a link for on the next page

Egads! DOA has seen some progress!

I just implemented the ability to save and load both the minigame and the storymode, along with the menu stuff for each. I'll post a screenshot when I get a chance.

Yay \o/

For some odd reason I can't get my screenshot software to work despite much effort put forth. Anyone have any suggestions? And yes, DOA is officially under development again. I kept hearing stuff around my college about how people there were playing Doom89 and it kind of stroked my ego enough for me to get some motivation. A couple of my professors know who I am because of my previous work, so I figured it would probably be beneficial to my plan to try to weasel my way into the research department there if I completed this soon.

DOA really doesn't need a whole lot of work to be completed, but I want to implement some things to make it more interesting than just running around killing things. More storyline stuff, tasks, etc. I have a couple half done already, the only thing to do now is chug along and push forward.

I'm glad to see that people are still interested in this project, that's what keeps me going with this, that people will enjoy the game when it's done.

By the way... The game... you lose! haha Oh crap so do I. O.o :p

Oh by the way, If you're curious how many levels there are right now: 16 levels, 8 transport pod cinematic scenes, and 1 minigame level. I'm working on level design right now. I'm planning to add on to the points/purchasing system in the minigame, so you can buy the next level in the minigame with the points you get from killing the enemies. It's an escape plan, and a fun way to explore another level when playing. Each next level will cost more points. I don't know how many levels I'll make for the minigame, but I've got 40-something KB of space left in my mapfile, so I could potentially put a ton of levels for both the story mode and the minigame in there.

@Aaron you may need to ask in the help section and give info on what version and which screenshot making software you are using and which emu/version. Hopefully someone can help there.

Also keep up the good work

@flyingfisch blame TI's monopoly on schools. Teachers are sold out to Texas Instruments so students are almost forced to get a TI calc instead of a Casio. Also they aren't as documented as z80 and 68K calcs yet due to the much smaller community. Actually the TI-89 is facing the same problem now: Almost nobody program for them anymore, since TI is slowly phasing them out in favor of the TI-Nspire series. AaroneusTheGreat is probably one of, if not the only 68K ASM/C programmer remaining in the TI community right now.

@Nick: Nice. Yeah lol I just thought of that while I was typing because I used the phrase "the game" in the post. The problem with the screenshot is that for some reason, calccapture can't find the window to start taking the feed from. I haven't figured it out, I've tinkered with it quite a bit. I was more thinking if anyone reading this could point me to possibly newer or better software that worked easily, I'd forgo the tinkering and just use that.

@everyone: Thanks for the encouragement, it means a lot. You'll be interested to know I've poked around in the maps quite a bit today, and while I haven't done much of anything today, I did relearn how I implemented some stuff, and kind of got my place in the code again. I was running around a lot today, and saw a movie, so I haven't done much with the project other than fix a moderately annoying menu quirk.

@flyingfisch: If you could point me to a really good set of Casio C tools, I'd be on it in a heartbeat, some of those Casio calculators are pretty powerful in terms of hardware. I got mildly into HP's 50g for a while, and I most likely will start working on something for that at some point here in the not so distant future. No promises yet, but I've gotten so much better at coding than I was when I started messing with it back in the day, that I feel like I could probably handle it better now. I lacked the confidence and knowledge base that I have now to really continue what I built effectively, so I put it on hold. Now that I've got colleagues that I regularly consult at the university, I have more of a quick support base to explain some things that are better explained in person where you can ask questions more quickly.

Anyways, supposing I don't figure out a way to do this soon, and for other reasons, you can expect I'll be calling on one of you to do some screenshots and such for me before too long. I am going to need alpha and beta testers who are willing and have the time to do some stuff like that for me. Also who can make some suggestions when it comes to things they like or don't like that I should put more work into. I could use the direction. I'm kind of darting around between quite a few things in the development, testers help me streamline the focus on the most important things.

i watched a movie too today, harry potter instead of studying lol

and i would love to help, but i only have 84+ and nspire, so i won't be able too, i'm sorry :s

Awesome project !! I've seen the captures on the 1st page, that's really great !
Good luck ! I'll have to try it.
