  Did someone say Porn Pin? I dust off my modest offering for your viewing pleasure. I redacted it some since the last time it was posted it was shot down by the Pinside Censor Nazis. Hopefully I got all the prurient parts but they'll let us know if I didn't. This actually was the only theme for a pinball machine I'd consider making. But "Pinball is Hard" or in my case TOO HARD.

  Crowdfunding for pin manufacture?! Post #16 in topic

  Posted 16 days ago by Frippertron – in All Pinball ‐ Last reply 16 days ago

  Thinking I'll just drain this one. Perhaps I'll revisit it with a different approach after I've looked into it more. Want to save the old-timers the energy of having to type mocking comments. LOL. Don't worry about them. If you are serious about building pinball machines do your due diligence, but you are gonna need to try to build a single game before you get funding(most likely) just remember pinball is hard and expensive. I wish you the best.

  How about a DIY Kit of the game, and let folks put it together themselves for various success or failure threads :) Kit cost would be about 3-5 grand, not too large of a 'project' say for 1-2 years, and folks would actually go from claiming knowledge of what they speak to actually appreciating what it takes to build a pinball.

  I think it would be cool to have alternative game modes. Maybe a tutorial mode to help explain rules more as you play. That said, the average person has a hard time with any rules and is really just trying to keep ball from draining. Also, pinball is hard and it seems to take years to get just one ruleset mostly done.

Think it's near impossible to build on mass with no issues , that being said ... The quick build time, and the almost instantaneous addressing of even the smallest of issues...

  There’s nothing stopping you from doing all these things yourself - the used P3-ROC boards and run SkeletonGame. All open source products and you could drop in your replacement code very easily. The thing is, pinball is hard. I’m not sure you appreciate how difficult a task you’re asking for here - that’s like half a year’s development work for some features that very few people want. If you really want it, go for it - the platform is totally open although the original code isn’t.

  Likely a combination of "making pinball is hard" and the run on the bank for refunds was far more than they expected. As stated earlier, the company Andrew was running was over, and everyone would have lost, had these guys not stepped in. So all we can do is hope for the best and they pull through this difficult time. At least Alien is a game people can get excited about and has the potential to sell.

  Eric - can't wait for you to play your game... And everyone listen to this : Eric bought a CE and wanted the unboxing to be so special he purposefully avoided seeing a DI in person or playing one until he gets his own game. Either that or his wife won't let him go to pinball shows... take your pick... : )~ Ok so I'm a little crazy! Did the same with WOZ and Hobbit :) In my area pinball is hard to find...and Remember the wife thinks this pin was $9500 wink wink!!!

  I'm wanting to build TAF from the ground up. Mainly just as a project. I can find mostly everything I need online except for the actual programming. Your going to build an TAF from scratch and you don't have basic knowledge of the ROM used? Are you planning to wire it yourself too?? :thinking: Ummm.... welcome to Pinside. FYI - Pinball is hard

  IF you start goober again, but beat it, everything will reset like it should. If someone can test that and let me know. I 'll get an updated PRG file for it to be tested. I'll run out to the shop and test it now Mr. Fawzma. Report back in a bit... pinball is HARD! We saw this VUK / Mode glitch yesterday but I've got a solid 40 games in after Fawzma fixed it, and haven't repeated it since.

  I would rather play at home or another collectors house every time. Most location pinball is hard to hear, and rarely set up right. Portland is pretty good for pinball though.

  I dont see a microwave wall like Stern has. Are there plans for a microwave bank? LOL. Good call. I'm not sure I can take any pinball manufacturer seriously without one. In fact I'd go so far as to say this may be the real reason other manufacturers are struggling. "Making pinball is hard...." they say. "Making pinball without a wall of microwaves is impossible" is what they should be saying.
