Would Keith or Randy be opposed to me posting up the ~20 presentation from 12:30 on Saturday? I got a chance to thank Keith for bringing the machine, but don't know if I got to say thanks to Randy in person, so thanks Randy.

Were they piss-reeking?

babou!

My wife actually said this area reaks of cat piss (near the penguins) then I turned around and saw the signs haha "look at his tuffted ears"

You're welcome!

After fighting with YT (on my phone) for a while, finally got the file uploaded. Great making-of conversations in this one:

Will there be a easter egg to Sealab

It was probably like meowschwitz in there

Initially throught it was an amazing art package - and sound - you'd been able to create for this game. Now I realise it is off a TV show, yeah. Why not - super agent is a great theme and the artwork is awesome.

I really like that this game shows a some new ideas to "core pinball". Flow, shot patterns and mechanics. I have been wondering why Stern have not tried to shake things a little bit. And done something like locating a ramp out where the orbit shot usually is to see at options that brings along. Like this.

Question. Does the right orbit and right inner loop shots always feed the upper left flipper? And what about shots to the centre ramp that goes left. Or will some shots drool out of the lane behind the flipper?

I was also thinking that the upper left flipper could come in play via the post in modes and such on a direct shot from the right flipper->spinner->post->upper left flipper. Or maybe as a race via the inlane like Thing Flips.

Good luck on this.

Oh cool another Ladera Ranch person! I'm probably the only person in the city who is single without kids so I can spend money on toys like pinball machines fortunately.

very cool layout and games guys, nice work and in the video on post #357 I really like the backglass art as well as the ease to remove - big thumbs up

Awesome!!!

Awesome! I can't wait to try this game if possible!

was that a big lebowski callout hidden in there?

I don't even watch the show, but that layout just looks phenomenal.

very cool, love the rotating flashers

I'd think this machine looked completely awesome even if i wasn't a huge fan of the show (which i am). So.... double awesome?

Also, showed the vid to my wife and, congratulations sir, you've officially made the first pinball machine that she's actually ever encouraged me to buy should it ever become available.

It reminds me a bit of Fun House, but with more flow & less frustration. Good stuff.

An understatement!
Archer's control codebase was rewritten in Python (from C) using PyProcGameHD Framework.
After 4 weeks of coding (and learning Python) it's almost hands-off playable, but a bit more work to do.
Thanks to rosh and mocean for helping me get it up and running.

Always excited to see updates to this thread. Love the theme, layout and with KME on the rules it's sure to have some good balanced gameplay. Really hope this finds it way to public consumption some day. Insta-buy for me if it does.

It's been nicely refined since I got to play it at Arcade Expo. Nice job guys. How much is in the game that was originally planned, and how much is left to do? Love the project and have enjoyed the updates so far.

So you HAVE to hold the left flipper to make that orbit shot, or is that a design flaw you'll fix later? Otherwise lookin sweet. Cant wait to play at expo!

Ive played it & you don't HAVE to hold the flipper up to make the shot. It just makes the shot wider like how if you hold the upper flipper shot up on TZ it makes the camera shot wider.

Right on, just noticed in each video you hold it.

Seriously, sell the ramps and mechs along with code and a precut/insert filled playfield and I'll build the rest of the cabinet, I want to play this thing!

Man this game looks awesome! I really like what you guys have done with the layout. Makes for some great looping and nice flow.

I think that video mode is probably the coolest thing I've seen in years. I really like the drummer idea and hitting the flipper buttons in rhythm.

Great work..

If you can license and build these for $6.5k, I'll sign up for one now. Smooth shots, great dmd and audio, cool toys and the best license imho ..... Probably take a few years to complete a production approved model and Spooky will likely be selling their games for $6.5k, so mark them accordingly and watch Spooky build a few thousand of them. rooting for you to get this to the finish line. I wasn't a fan of the show until I starting reading this thread. Decided to watch a few seasons and now am hooked. Gimme Archer !!!

edit ** btw - a big obstacle faced by a first-time manufacturer is lack of a track record and questions about whether this infant manufacturer will be around in the long term, to provide service and parts. Spooky is showing that yes they can produce dependable games that are supported long after the sale. And it looks like they are here to stay. So hopefully you can work something out with them.

I agree with all of this, would love to see this as a Spooky game. As an AMH owner, and waiting on my RZ, I'd love to add Archer as well. Look great next to my six foot tall cardboard Archer cutout that is already in my game room. Available at Amazon if anyone else is looking for one.

This is one of the best themes & playfield layouts in a long time. Love that quick smokey and the bandit scene.."10-4"!! Hilarious!

I really enjoyed playing this at PAGG - particularly when I found the Bert Reynolds bit! It also turned me from an Archer "meh" (I watched a few episodes of the first season when it came out and wasn't impressed) to an Archer Addict.

Thanks guys, hope to play it again soon!

I also found a Glengoolie rocks glass last year on Amazon if you're into Archer swag.

Thank you and I am! I have the book by Archer as well. It's pretty funny.

"For the best of times"

"Archer" renewed by FX for three more seasons!

Any other action on this game ?

I was watching the recently posted gameplay video.

Does the game code acknowledge a double outlane drain, with that "cry" soundbyte? Neat, indeed.

Great game, looking better and better.

Why.. Are all of these video now unavailable?

Elwin just announced he was working as a designer for Stern. I'm guessing they asked him to shut everything down and delete record of it.

Big brother Stern is all controlling!
