Wow that looks pretty good. Nice graphics.

My sentiments exactly - BTW, it's weird that it's for Venus; hardly anything is anymore.

Venus is the best shell on TI-83.

And especially in this case, it has proven its usefulness, because a ION version of Desolate wouldn't have been possible for space issues.

What are you talking about? Venus is the newest shell around. You might be confusing it with AShell, SOS or something along those lines.

He might be confused because so few games are made for the regular 83, and they usually are featured as their 83+ versions in MirageOS or antoher 83+ shell.

I agree. The animated screenshot of the game looks great.

Nice game cant wait until the 83+ version comes out!

bleh.... now i feel special that i own an 83, and an 83+ ^_^

Same here but, i mainly use my ti-83+/Se!

I will download this for sure when the 83+ version comes out.

me too :)

If you think that the 83+ version isn't going to be released,,, don't worry. there's just a few bugs needed to be ironed out before general consumption :)

Wow thats some nice grayscale. I gotta see this source when it comes out for 83+. Please let it be included for the 83+!!

nice grayscale because its VTI

Actually, I've played both versions, 83 and 83+...Duck's Greyscale code is still going strong, and looks fine even on a non-SE. Tr1pl3a has made good use of the package, and done some really fine sprite work as well--the graphics are really admirable for what they are. Check it out!

im not saying that his grayscale was necesarrily bad, im just saying that the screenshot is VTI grayscale

Well, what other kind of grayscale would it be?

VTI always looks good, on calc could be a different story...

Actually, I have the game on my ti-83, consuming all of it's memory :) but the grayscale in that game is really really nice, vti screenshots are obviously going to be better, because they are on the computer, but the calc can still rival the vti...great game

One thing about VTI that, except for pong or other projectile games, makes it better is that there isnt a delay in turning off pixels. What I mean is that when a ball moves across the screen on the real calc, it leaves a trail because the pixels turn off slowly, but on vti this doesnt occur. This makes less blurring in fast paced action games, but takes away some of the effect of pong type games.

Yeah, I helped test too. In fact, I think I may still have the file here somewhere... (83+)

Well... on a real calc it still looks cool... but then more greenish... just like the old GameBoy :)

Anyway... this is one of the best games I _EVER_ played on the calc... It's just a must-have for every one with a 83(+)... Even if the game would only be b/w, the gameplay is so good and the story really is keeping you playing!

it is, its a bautifil game, i was 1 of the 1st testers for ti-83+ and in all honesty it was 1 of the best game i've ever played for the 83+ *raises glass to tr1p|ea*

How do they put grayscale in their programs?

u have two different planes, and you are just switching back and forth between them, so it appears to be gray

Thank you
