On the code side, there's a ton of it already. That's all I can say

99% of the modes are in, just needs timed modes spit out. Lots of ways to stack modes in this game. Still tons of graphics/sfx/callouts need to be added as well.
Lots of things that needed to be added to RZ have been added to Dominos to test how they work.
Quoted from unigroove:Looks like a revised AMH, which I'm perfectly happy with. Great artwork as well! Just wondering what happens to the ball that you shoot up the right ramp into the oven.
It drops behind the scoop, there's an opto back there to detect which way the ball got to the scoop.
The spinner does start mode, but it's also used to light up the mystery scoop. Progressively gets harder to start. Speaking of the left scoop, that was adjustable. It's not really meant to fire out like a missile, that's what the right scoop is for.
The game code is only 6 weeks old, I wanted to cram as much stuff in as possible so people had something to play with. Everything on the instruction cards was playable at the show.
In the video, there were maybe 2-3 modes running at the same time. When I get the game back, I still need to sort out what and when everything should run plus a million other things.

Even by the 29th, even more code will be in.
The ball stop is sort of used as a diverter to give more interaction with the pops and lanes.
All modes on left are started via left scoop and start multiballs when completed.
All modes on right are started via right scoop and are all timed modes.
Mystery is started by loading up the spinner, and I'm thinking any time you beat the Noid in "Noid Battle". Some might hate this, I'm going to have heavy use of the mystery scoop to advance carreer mode and EOB bonus multiplier.
Of course, I'm always open for suggestions so things will always change.
Quoted from EvanDickson:I wonder how I can even get in touch with the owner of the local Domino's franchise to encourage him/her to get one of these and place it in their location.
Good chance they don't have room. But, they may support local events and might want to have a machine at the event location to draw a crowd.
Funny I saw the payback commercial a moment ago and was thinking this should be a prize, then see this post!

Quoted from desertT1:The first few minutes show that the Noid loop seems to shoot great. There were fast shots and medium shots right off the bat and none of them hosed the player.
Not to diminish anyone's effort to have sounds for all switches, but what will the final slingshot sounds be like? I like that they are zany, but they are also a little strong(?) for a sound that will be heard so many times in a game.
Oh, and those lanes. Man, they remind me of my Diner inlane/outlane setup. Best advice, keep the ball in front of the slings. :p
debating is SFX are even needed on those slings.
Side note
There are a few mechanics that will be changed.
The first for sure is the skillshot. I have changed it now to be progressive. It will start at 250k, then 500k, then 1mill.. resetting back to 250k if you get an extra ball after collecting the million.
Other rules to change will center around how mystery award works in conjunction with the 5 right targets.
And there was a bug in the extra ball bonus for having less than 1 million points on ball 3.
Quoted from desertT1:How hard is it to take the sound out and play a few games with it like that? <<< Don't read that like I'm being a dick, honest question. Maybe it's easier to make a test setting where you can turn them off and on in the menu and play games switching every time to see which one feels better. I like the sounds of slings firing, so even having no SFX would be ok for me there.
And yeah, that skill shot should be nerfed. 250k for the first one might still be a little OP. Maybe try 100k, 250k, 500k and leave the "Charlie Cheat" in there so you can try to short plunge and do it with a flipper.
It's all good. Its pretty trivial to add an option to turn the sling sound off and on via menu. So I'll go that route.
We'll have to play with the skill shot totals.. 50k, 150k, 250k could be an option as well.
I like the "Charlie Cheat" name.. if people absolutely hate it, the only way to combat that is to put the skillshot on a progressive timer .. the longer the ball is off the lane switch the lower the skillshot will be worth.
Quoted from adamgacek:. I bet it is already fixed. I think leaving it at 250k, 500k and 1mm will be fine because some of the more scoring will likely get cranked up a bit.
This is true..
I didn't watch the whole video yet, but there are certain modes that after you complete opens up a hurry up or two that are worth millions. They too will probably need to be toned down.
Revised rules for next version. Total rewrite.
Domino's Rules (NEW)
Make Pizza - 3.. 4.. 5.. Qualify by shooting outer orbit. This also advances the jackpot in MB
Lost Topping - 3.. 4.. 5.. Qualify by shooting noid orbit. When in (right side) MB, one of the switches is the super jackpot. This location changed after collecting.
Pizza Dispatch - 3.. 4.. 5.. Qualify by shooting center ramp. This also advances the jackpot. After a qualify or requalify the spinner value multiplier is increased up to 5x.
Mega Week - Qualify by shooting right target bank in any order. When in (right side) MB, one of the targets will blink. This is another Super Jackpot, and changes location after collection.
After mode is qualified, score for that switch multiply by how many times you “requalify” (up to 5x). Once MB starts your switches are locked into your multiplier values. Resetting after MB.
Example: you shoot outer orbit 3 times to get “Make The Pizza” available.. If you don’t start the MB.. outer orbit switched are worth X times 2. shooting those orbits again but 4 times increases the switch value to X times 3.. Shoot orbit 5 more times, they are now worth X times 4. Up to 5x. This goes for other mode qualifications as well.
Any time a right side mode is qualified for, you can shoot the pizza scoop to start that mode. If you are already in MB and mode was not qualified, you can qualify while in MB, increasing base jackpot value.
If more than one mode is qualified and you shoot the scoop. MB jackpot is multiplied by however many modes are qualified. When in MB, jackpots are increased by switch amount (up to 5x related to the requalify rule). Collect the jackpot from the pizza ramp. If jackpot is collected before it was advanced, jackpot resets but it lower than before. This is to prevent spamming jackpots.
If you collect all the modes again while in MB, a center shot hurry up is available. With a countdown of 15 seconds. As time goes down, so does the jackpot.
Modes are not considered complete until you start the MB.
Career Modes
Load up pops to qualify each of the career modes. After 4 have been loaded up, pops need to add 5 to the beginning of base start value to get the first mode lit on next round. You can start a career at any time, but loading all the way will max out the JP value.
Driver - Round 1 (5 pops) / Round 2 (10) / Round 3(15)…
MB - left obit, hit pops to advance JP
Manager - Round 1(@10 pops) / Round 2(15) / Round 3(20)…
MB - Noid orbit to advance JP
Franchisee - Round 1(@15 pops) / Round 2(20) / Round 3(25)…
MB - center ramp to advance JP
Gold Franny - Round 1(@20 pops) / Round 2(25) / Round 3(30)…
MB - Right orbit to advance JP
Example of flow: In normal play you shoot pops 5 times.. Driver pulses and indicates it can be started. Keep shooting the pops to get to 10, then Driver and Manager pulse.. Get all the way to 20 and now you have 4 left mode pulsing.. Shoot left scoop to start MB. JP are now at 4x. When mode is over, those modes that were pulsing are now solid. Now those pops are inround 2.. Get driver pulsing by hitting pops 10 times.. And get all 4 left modes pulsing at 25 pops..
If all 4 modes are qualified, you get 3 ball MB instead of 2.
For each mode lit before starting MB, pop switch amount is multiplied by modes lit
Same as right side modes, depending on how many modes are lit, Jackpot multiplied by that many modes. If jackpot is collected before it was advanced, jackpot resets but it lower than before. This is to prevent spamming jackpots.
Starting career modes is done by shooting left scoop.
Modes are not considered complete until you start the MB.
Pizza Maker (Sub Wizard Mode)
When the bottom 8 modes are complete this mode becomes available. Round 1
Global Conquest (Sub Wizard Mode)
When the bottom 8 modes are complete this mode becomes available. Round 2
Pizza Wars (Wizard Mode)
All modes must be complete, including Handle Rush and Noid battle, then this mode becomes available.
Right Targets
Used to qualify Mega Week. Each time its qualified, Mystery award if activated and collected off left scoop.
Noid Battle
This can now be opened at any time and progress is kept throughout all balls. Bash down the targets, then hit noid 2.. 3.. 4.. Times to collect reward.. Rinse repeat
Handle Rush
For time being keep this separate from all other modes and can only go ino MB when not already in MB. I may combine this with the right side modes for a 5x JP multiplier.
Locks will start at 3…4… 5… etc..
OER
Just used to multiply EOB, OER switches are worth (base value * OER bonus).
Coke Integration
Coke goes into a cup. Bubbles fizz away revealing the match.

Enjoy!!

Global conquest sub wizard mode was written last night. I'll be testing it today. Then moving onto Pizza Wars!
We should have gameplay video soon, so you don't miss out on this if you're on the fence still.
2 Points to make..
1.. the cutoff date is out of Spookys hands. 150 units or end of December.
2.. not entirely buying the play before pay. How many games are being sold for big bucks and have never been played (or not even playable). Some will say, "but its rare".. I think this is the situation we are in; except it won't cost you your first born, arm or leg
The game was in Houston and currently in NY with the updated rules. We also have one here at the shop that can be played if you are local. Just reach out to KT and Charlie to set something up.
Quoted from Whysnow:I will see if I can get over to Benton to check it out before the sell out. I really liked how this game shot the 1 chance I got to play it, but code was rough at that point and completely revamped since.
Let me put it to you this way, all the shit you gave me for RZ.. I didn't do in Domino's lol
I don't know if I can talk about numbers, so I won't comment.

Shaker/knocker support is there.. Shaker just needs the command put in the places that will use it. It's easy enough to add in, but to come in the next update or so.
8 months later
Quoted from wtuttle:Just wondering: does anyone find that their 'Handle the Rush' multiball doesn't act like it should? I believe the flippers are supposed to only work in short bursts (no craddling the ball). Mine work like normal when I'm in this mode.
That is being fixed. I'm taking the next update a little slow as not to introduce any major bugs.
I split HtR out into its own mode. It was also missing the no hold flipper function, that has been fixed. I'm having this tested before I move on.
2 weeks later
I'm in the middle of doing another update
As for balls not ejecting and getting the lane switch message, this is to prevent the coil from overheating and blowing a fuse. The ball is trying to eject from the trough but is never making it to the lane switch, so it will keep firing.
What I may end up doing is, attempting the eject a few times, then give the coil a rest, then resume the eject after about 6 or so seconds.
I've commented on the other thread about worlds fastest. That is a misleading light that should be killed off while that mode is running.
DOMINOS V006 - TBD/2017
Updated - Handle The Rush mode runs on its own. No longer stacks with other modes
Updated - Ball ejects off lane as soon as attract mode starts
Fixed - Lane lights did not roll left/right properly
Fixed - Tilt warning graphics were misleading
Fixed - Multiball saves will eject more than one ball if they drain together
added - Handle The Rush ball lock added to mystery award
