Quoted from JerseyJack:There is a lot to the Hobbit™ that you cannot see -
How will all 15 targets work in the rules.
How the action button on the front molding controls features of the game - Smaug's Tail diverter that's on the ramp - how Smaug™ - how his speech taunts you and causes you to lose your ball. The depth of play, rules and modes - so much going on.
I receiven an e mail from a theater operator this morning for a quote on 86 games!! That's amazing to me and what we really want to see - more pinball on location.
We were bashed on the development of WOZ - I believe this is more game than WOZ!
Great that you potentially have an order for 86 games Jack, but do you think that theatre owner gives a hoot about how it plays!? Nope. They just think THEME, and that if in the lobby area of the theatre whilst showing HOBBIT they will rake it in!
Think of how much footfall that game will get, the player may think it's good or may not, but you still have their money.
If Operators of theatres are going to keep you in profit great, but I think it is the theme that has got you those orders (probably depended on dec delivery) and if you want to keep making games and selling them then the market you have curently upset is what you need to focus on. Can you tell us if the game at EXPO had all the toys, just a yes or no will do.
I met you at the London EAG a few years back, saw WOZ and signed up straight away for HOBBIT. I understand that the licensee tied your hands but why you waited and did not inform all the pre-orderers what was possible and not then the reaction to what you are seeing now would be far less. Most people feel lied to
