Quoted from dmbjunky:

I like your thinking. It should be on the machine, either the playfield or the DMD, so it would be a little redundant.

Thanks, and yeah, one of my main points of even starting my site was to have the cards be different than the others I've usually seen. About 95% of the custom cards I see have all that info on them. And actually, I was worried people would NOT like my cards because I left that info off, but luckily my hunch was right that not everyone wanted that info everywhere 100% of the time!

Quoted from Luckydogg420:

You could always make 3 or 4 cards per game, all with the same styling. Then people could mix and match the cards they want.
These look great. Some of the best cards designs.

Thanks for the kind words! And yeah, that's pretty much what will eventually happen. A big goal of mine is to have several versions of each design that are at least somewhat interchangeable.

Quoted from GorillaBiscuits:

That diner is SUPER sweet! Great job on these, really cool project. (does this mean RBION is next?)

Thanks

And actually, unless it's a donation request, I kind of skip around on my to-do list. So far I've been doing one pin from the 90s - today, then an older generation, then a theme from any time period that's a personal fave. I think it helps keep me well-rounded, keeps the designs fresh, and keeps everybody happy. (But since you've asked about RBION specifically I'll go ahead and bump it up the list to do today)

Quoted from KevInBuffalo:

Would love some for Grand Lizard!

Just added to the to-do list!

Quoted from dmacy:

Really like your work! I haven't seen anyone request any High Speed 2: Getaway.

Love that pin, will do!

Is 5 balls per game standard on LCA?

#207 8 years ago
Quoted from dmbjunky:

Is 5 balls per game standard on LCA?

You know, I was unsure about that, but I couldn't find any sign that there wasn't a standard 5 balls per game.

If anyone needs it to say any different number, or has insight into the average balls per game for this one on ones they've played, I can very easily make a new version.

Hey Chad some TWD cards would be cool............maybe?

lol cheers mate no rush

#213 8 years ago

These really are superb. I love the TSPP. I tend not to go for the "Free Play" cards. I just prefer some great art there. Of course my machines are free play

#214 8 years ago
Quoted from TimeBandit:

Thanks! And yeah, I basically judge whether I'm going to put "Free Play" on the card on whether or not the title is featured already on the machine's apron. Eventually I plan to literally make every version of card you could imagine though - Free Play, just artwork, informational, etc - especially for popular pins.

Quoted from Whysnow:

Yep, it's been added to the list

#215 8 years ago

#216 8 years ago

Unless it's an EM, I would just assume every game is 3 balls.

I thought free play might be a problem for some folks too but I figured eventually you'll have cards that don't say free play.

#217 8 years ago
Quoted from tslayer71:

Nice job - your cards look great! Diner and RBION??

Quoted from GorillaBiscuits:

Here's RBION!

I thought free play might be a problem for some folks too but I figured eventually you'll have cards that don't say free play.

Thinking now, I'm not sure why I committed to the "5 balls per play" feature on the design. Just went ahead and took that off the design all-together

Also, yeah, I'll definitely make some that don't say Free Play eventually.

#219 8 years ago

Like to add my vote to the two previous votes for The Getaway and Jokerz.
Been listening to your music while reading this thread.

There must be a slight setting off on your printer. Make sure in your printer's settings the Scale is set to 100% - and also that "Scale To Fit" is NOT selected. If you have any trouble after that, feel free to send me a screenshot of your printer settings and I'll be glad to try and figure out the issue!

#228 8 years ago

Yeah I had the same thing with a few of mine.

Actually in some cases I bumped them up to 104 and such.

I've found with all the pin card makers it's always best to do test runs with black and white printing. Then color.

I'm baggage a lazerjet I use to test.

I LOVE the job on the SWT, There are a few others that would be cool, Lethal Weapon 3, Stern Batman, Flintstones cartoon version, Demo man.

Chad you rule!

#231 8 years ago

chad, great stuff. Wondering you you would tackle a few tricky ones for me...

CSI
Gottlieb Robo War

thanks for all of these so great!!!!

Yeah, I've got a goal of figuring out a fool-proof way for sizing. Because the thing is, the way these printout files are set on 8.5 x 11" paper can cause issues if the scaling is off, or if someone's get the paper size setting off.

Plus for all the people who use Walgreens or other printing places, they have different setting requirements too.

Somewhere down the road I'll either have a comprehensive printing guide on the site, or a universal file size/type that plays even more friendly with everyone's settings.

Also! (and this is for everyone here!) If there are any cards that end up NOT being scaling issues, let me know, because I can definitely make mistakes too - especially on older pins where they liked to switch around sizing every once and a while! And I'm glad to get the sizing fixed for ya - plus it's an easy fix on my end

#233 8 years ago

Wow! The Diner cards look really nice. Any chance for a nice set for DemoMan coming down the line? Thanks for all of the hard work you have put into these!

#234 8 years ago

Such fantastic work! I'd love to see a set for Gold Ball. I've always loved the art on that machine.

#243 8 years ago

Hey all,

Just wanted to share a special update with you all, plus give some insight to how the site is doing so far!

Below you'll find an infographic about the first two weeks since launching the site, and you can read some extra info about it all via the blog I posted @ http://pinballboy.com/blog - And I know I know, people are usually close-lipped about numbers and stats, but I've never been that way... I like sharing numbers and excitement with the people that actually make it all happen.

Seriously, thanks for all the kind support - I'm still blown away that this didn't even exist 15 days ago and now people already actually enjoy it!
