Quoted from greatwichjohn:Well I was running out the door to help a operator: March 2023
March is the tail end of whale season on Maui. Dig the marketing savvy and looking forward to playing this game!

Why not a team-up with Pinball Adventures. John, have you reached out to fellow countryman Andrew MacBain?
Quoted from greatwichjohn:As for how I came up with $100k US number. I met someone with very good knowledge about Big Whales in the USA, Sunday morning at the show. Many of them out there looking for games or something different. Some want something very special like what Jpop was suppose to do.
Invoking John as an inspiration for your new pinball enterprise is a home run component of any fundraising pitch.
Quoted from greatwichjohn:Only day 3 looking for a great whale or investor at $100k US. Some people in the know have a good idea of basic costs of about $10k US in material cost, more for bling, + assembly cost. There is also all the other costs involved in a one of a kind pimped out license pin. If a whale is found & they prefer the game not to be shown in Texas in March 2023. That will be ok with me.
Again no money is going into my hands during my personal bankruptcy! No pre payment in full. If the whale is found the money will be be on performance levels of production. Want a phone call let me know for USA or Canada.
This is only the early stage to see if a whale can be found. The other alternative is to use a proven home brew pin that has not gone into production. I am open to different ideas. People know how to reach me here or by phone.
"pimped out license" =
?
Quoted from Striker:So to summarize:
This approach assumes whales love to inquire about mysterious projects promoted by individuals in bankruptcy. This approach also risks the whale walking away, if he or she does not like the license, the theme, or any other aspect of the GPMOAT.
Accurate?
Whales don't walk away. They swim.
Quoted from greatwichjohn:I would say not. Anything quality built for pinball, & one of a kind license theme does not need to come from a true pinball manufacturer. Predator is a prime example, whales would love to own one. Same with King Pin game.
Don't forget zidware and vonnie d when invoking tales of pinball upstarts past!
For anyone thinking greatwich is doing a bit here, check out his last year or so of posts regarding mystery parties rescuing/resurrecting jpop/deeproot.
It's not a bit.
Quoted from Mrsiyufy:But does he suggest they seek out Whales ?
That development is new to this thread.
