Quoted from kpg:We all know Lyman is a coding genius- and his track record speaks volumes.
The only thing I would be concerned with BM66, and all pins going forward- is Stern is calling the shots and likely allocating a specific timeline to get BM66 done, and how much they are willing to pay him to finish the game before assigning him to a new pin. I feel their move to the bigger factory, price increases, etc in order to grow the company also comes with some strict adjustments to how these things are designed, coded, announced, then delivered.
I feel GB is a great example of this. Why has there literally been no significant improvements in code for the game since it was released? I think they told Dwight to wrap it up and move on. It's not that Dwight is that much worse of a coder than Lyman, it's likely the fact they are tightening the coding budget because more profit.
I really hope they give Lyman a long leash on this, because what I see now is a game that people spent a lot of money on- and it has a loooong way to go as far as code is concerned.
Lyman completed Metallica on his own time.....that why I'm confident he will see this through whether supported by Stern or not. Although I expect Stern to give him full support...time will tell.
I like the look and potential of this pin so I've ordered knowing code will be in early stages. All cool.
Before all the trolls get in, I'm not rich, just like new pinballs. Now let's focus on the pinball not cost F'n sick of hearing about it! It is what it is move along please........further.....further....ah better lol
