Quoted from DCFAN:Black Rose next?
Not next. Maybe next next.
Quoted from OldSchoolBlood:This makes my day.... have been looking forward to this one. Big thanks to Randy and mvp developer Eric on another great release.
Eric, what triggers the Mearhead animaton where he digs up the extra ball? You rarely see it and it's always far into the game.
If your taking requests on a next game, I would love to see what you could do with Indy 500. Keep up the great work!
That would be so rare that I didn't see it at all. The only extra ball animation I ever came across was the ball/bullets.
Quoted from OldSchoolBlood:I think it may have something to do with finishing all Safehouse and Magazine awards in the same game. Seemed random when I got it and have only seen it twice. Both times were grand champion type games. He digs in the ground and pulls out a ball which is then in his mouth. Maybe some DH fans can chime in on this with more info.
I will try to see if I can get that to come up, but I honestly didn't see it at all in working on the game, and I'm pretty sure I did all the magazine & safehouse stuff in the same game a few times -- we'll see I guess!
It bums me out how my camera does on blues/purples/darker colors in certain scenes depending on light from the game or something - it looks better in person than the video does. Some parts of the video are pretty washed out thanks to my camera.
Quoted from Doctor6:Where is STERN STAR TREK!?
I assume they aren't doing it because there are 18 modes, all with unique dots, not to mention all the other animation in this game?
Just because it's not released RIGHT NOW doesn't mean "they aren't doing it". Its been in process for a long time, it's a complicated game. It'll be great. Eventually. Hang in there.

Hope Dirty Harry owners are enjoying the ColorDMD on their games.
Something that's unique (at least so far) for Dirty Harry is that for the first time on a WMS game, several of the 'dissolve' transitions are actually colored! It's an easy detail to overlook, but it's something that was NOT easy to do, because of the way the system renders those frames. In fact, for quite some time Chris and Randy had thrown up their hands in frustration about how to make it work. Since there are several key animations in DH that have dissolves (like the Super Jackpot, or the Magnum Bullets) I spent a bunch of time devising a way to make it work -- which is only made possible by all the advances Randy has made in the capabilities of the ColorDMD system over time.
