The guy has two of the top five games listed on pinside. I have played AFM and MM with both games being fantastic. I have heard good things about the shadow but haven't seen one on location. I think I read that he is an exec. at some mobile game company.

How do we get this guy to come back to pinball? Has Stern ever approached him about making another game? He actually wanted AFM to have an orbiting saucer that crashed when you beat it... It seems like this guy was creating masterpieces on a very limited budget. It's like James Dean's career except he isn't dead...

If he's got a good job don't see why he'd want to come back to pinball. And yes shadow is another very good game.

We need some fresh blood anyway. Anything to keep Trudeau from designing another game.

Maybe he's really happy where he is?

The rumor flying around last year was that he was approached by JJP but nothing came of it.

Don't forget to add BOP to his credits another eddy master piece that I really like putting it in the context of its time.

I'm sure he is happy and I'm even more sure he is making a lot more money than he was a pinball designer. With that said, I can't imagine that any mobile game he has been behind has had as much of an impact on that industry as his machines had on the pinball industry. I heard the rumor about JJP as well. Look at the the remakes of games. First one is MM and the next one is rumored to be AFM (I know just a rumor). There is a HUO on sale now for about 10k and I bet someone will pay around 9 for it.

I could see why he would stay away outside of the money. How do you follow those last two games up? It's like the last episode of Seinfeld. Nothing would be able to live up to the hype. Best to go out on top I suppose...

This may be a hobby for us, but it's a job that pays the rent for the designers. Assuming he enjoys both jobs, why would he take the lesser paying job?

Because he an artist and it's about the product, not the money . I get why he stays away but damn what a shame. Who knows what kind of game he could put together with LS on code..

Who know's what kinda Game he could produce? He has produced 2 already with Lyman so i'm pretty sure we know what he could do.
