It looks amazing! Could American Pinball be the new Williams?

Quoted from rosh:

Sorry for short replies, other than photos been using phone and hard to be verbose -- which is not a problem for the machine, which is way too verbose, I knew it was a little chatty, but that has been the primary negative feeeback on the game. But hey I sit in a room all day with just the machine, naturally I would make it chatty (and did recently add a bunch of verbose female voice calls

Verbose is fantastic, the more call outs the better imo!

Rosh, thanks for posting some footage! Would love to see some more. What is the accuracy of the second catapult below the trunk? It seemed to miss in that brief clip. The game looks amazing! Great job!

Rosh, thanks for posting video and describing the process so clearly. That makes a huge difference in making a decision. I didn't get to attend the show, but from what I've seen, Houdini was a standout! I'm in.

Quoted from rosh:

I agree with the flippers, they need to snap and you should not feel like you need to fight with them to make a shot. Thing I need to remember to do at shows, is to play the machine every once and while to monitor the flipper strength. Funny thing is, just powered up the game in my office that was at the show, and flippers are way too strong, just shows the difference in power at the hotel.

I’m glad they are way too strong!

This is looking amazing! I love what I've heard of the music too. It sounds mesmerizing, like MM.

You know we are hungry for video when we all start watching documentaries... They are interesting for sure but I want to see more of the pinball machine in action!

#1319 6 years ago

Great review, thanks! How did you like the music and call outs?

This is all in good fun! There are stereotyped images for every profession.

#1456 6 years ago
Quoted from djreddog:

Let’s think outside of the box for the match. Instead of it being a random animation that results in a random number how about an end of ball bonus that requires you to hit a certain shot or start a certain mode in 3-5 seconds. These ball bonuses could also increase in difficulty if the machine determines a high number of free plays.

Great idea!

Jason at GAP gets the credit for that video, which I agree is excellent.
