Winding down for the night and decided to get a log started for one of my next projects. Long story short, I had planned to do The Goonies as my next homebrew. Due to Spooky possibly producing this, I've decided to change the theme and am honestly super excited that I did. So as the title states, my next project will be none other than Beavis and Butthead.
I will be using the Goonies design and have already came up with most of what will be on the playfield. Few of the initial plans are as followed:
- 10" lcd screen in playfield will be the TV that Beavis and Butthead watch. It will play during modes and also play different music videos with the BB commentary like in the show. Music should be exciting, as there is a ton of things I can pull from over the years.
- There will be main modes that follow the different eras of the show. The original show, Beavis and Butthead Do America, Beavis and Butthead new show, Beavis and Butthead Do The Universe, and maybe Daria. Within these main modes will be multiple modes based on different parts of the movies and main themes of the show.
- Upper right inserts, between right and middle ramp will be their TV remote. The two targets will change the music videos that play and will probably start/change modes from some form of this. I may even have volume on this in a certain mode to follow theme of remote.
- Middle ramp will probably be the Black Hole from Do The Universe and change the videos from original to the new stuff when certain things are active. Contemplating also putting a drop in front of this ramp to control when it can be hit. The ramp also has an opening into pops if ball is not hit fast enough.
- Spinner Toy will be either Cornholio or a roll of TP, hitting the toy will build up to going into Cornholio mode. This will most likely be a mode to try and set things on fire or maybe a become the ultimate cornholio.
- Things I want to incorporate but haven't set in stone yet. Open to ideas on these. Burger World, their couch (dont want to rip the simpsons pinball party, but thought about a couch to land balls on as a lock), School (or lack of school, teachers, bully, etc). have a ball save, but need to figure out what from the show would be a good theme for this. Something in there for scoring(if you know what I mean), something for getting nachos.
- top left of pops behind left ramp, Need to figure out something here. Thinking of a diverter on left orbit that shoots ball up to an upper playfield. Thought upper playfield could possibly be burger world, like they're going to work and need to complete things there.
- Plan to have a ton of callouts and fun things from the show. Some will be crude, but I think that's part of the appeal to Beavis and Butthead.
This project will be powered by FAST pinball. As of now, there will be three screens (Backglass, DMD Panel (15.6" LCD), Playfield Screen). Current target for a playable prototype is bringing it to Southern Fried Gaming Expo and Chicago Expo. This will all depend on how much progress I make on League of Legends (completely unwired right now) and funds. As always, I am open to suggestions of any kinds.
