I figured I should try and show some stuff to the public before expo So here is my Doom pinball project that will be shown at expo this year. It is P-Roc powered and I'm using the PyProcGameHD + Skeleton game framework to build the software on. Don't know how far I will get on the actual rules so it may be pretty basic as far as rules and such. The layout of shots is a bit tight compared to most machines But I figured if its based on a FPS it should require accuracy. I found a really good artist to handle art and has also been helpful in the design of toys and telling me when stuff doesn't look right, Always good to have another creative person involved in these projects. Back Alley Creations is doing all powdercoating of metal parts and Matt is always a good guy to talk to about building stuff.

This machine will not be produced and is not for sale

So here is the machine features list So Far.

Here is a pic of the cab next to my other custom after I finished building it. You can see the framing for the start of the vault for the P-Roc and other electronics

I made my own Light up buttons with switch mounts

Cutting playfield by hand with a router and one after clearcoat

I later eliminated all the rollover and went with Proximity switches because I didn't want to cut holes in the art

i had to weld and extend a flipper for the upper playfield and also a pic of one of my custom vuks.
Also all the rings I had to form for the Wireforms

The translight and a light test of everything in an early stage

I changed the design a few times through out the build that's why things look different in some pictures

A view of the underside and the vault all lit up with the lid installed

And the Mini-playfield still under construction You can see i got a bit crazy in my ramp designs and fabrication. a vertical dive ramp Don't know if that's been done before, But it works great And it lights up

And what the playfield looks like at the moment with art installed But still working on it nightly so progress is constant

Still holding back a bit of stuff I'm not done with yet But just wanted to share what i got

Thanks Guys
Here i found a preview pic of the art stuck on a Metallica machine till i can find one on the actual machine lol

The artist Eric Ridgeway that worked with me is amazing with detail and is a doom fan so it made working with him lots of fun

surprised nobody commented on how the wireforms exit haha

Lots more detail on the build here if interested in a bunch of reading lol http://www.pinballcontrollers.com/forum/index.php?board=53.0

I wanted to make a bunch of shots flow to the third flipper and also keep the game play pretty fast

also there will be art on the mini playfield and plastics may not keep the orange plastic it kinda looks weird
And lots and lots of 3d sculpts and toys will be made. That stuff gets very time consuming

i haven't reinstalled that vuk yet or any for that matter in the pics at least But yes it comes from the side and shoots into that loop and goes around the orbit to the third flipper which will be part of the skill shot

Tried to keep everything really fast doom is fast And from my test plays since the guides are so long it is very possible to combo Your reaction times have to be good though

I actually had to design my outlane guides in a way to not let it roll down and back out into play when it drains after coming off of those wireforms
