Quoted from cait001:What other games have done a screaming fast design like that? I love the idea of the wireform just dumping it to the flippers without it slowing down.
High Speed, Twister and Monopoly are three that come to mind that do the wireform dumping into an open area, but this game just looks brutal, and it fits the theme perfectly.
Can't wait to play this at Expo!
I just bought Doom on Steam the other day. Loving the out of control monster spawning. It definitely moved back into the category of fast-paced "blow shit up" vs survival horror, but ID also managed to do it in a way that still requires strategy - Mainly that you can't stay put or you'll die, and you've gotta be good about your ammo.
This layout looks like it is going to be similar in pace. A think a cool idea for a pin like this would be some sorta timer that prevents you from taking your time with shots or holding a ball too long, not just a mode/score timer. Flipper hold > 5 seconds = flippers/lights off + death sound
You should also put a microphone on the game so the high-scorer can record a sound sample that plays back and gets used in the game as a taunt. 
I was going to say Twister as well. First time I played it I hit the ramp which returns it screaming to the left flipper. Got caught watching the DMD, thinking it was like most normal wireforms where it slows the ball down before dropping it, and it drained on me before I even knew what happened. Made me pay attention more for the remainder of the game.
I would trade my whole collection for this game! Awesome job!!!!!! You need a running chainsaw toy on the playfield!

Jealous of your extra work days! I start the drive Tuesday morning.
Looking forward to playing this. I'll be working on my first wireforms tomorrow following your guidance.
Don't forget to sleep!

FAST Pinball
Quoted from Bonnevil69:a few progress pics and a view under the playfield
That looks f$%king insane...I wish I could be there to play it. Well done. 
Pretty sure I'm more excited to see this pin than anything else at expo. The metal work is most impressive!
Honestly this game has some of the best ramps on a pinball game ever . Very fun to shoot , can't wait to see how it progresses with the rules . I think Matt said he did not sleep for a few days to have this game ready to bring to expo . Thank you so much for bringing it ,one the highlights of expo for me .
Got a chance to play Matt's Doom. Sweet pin! Matt's attention to detail with the metal ramps and wireforms is impressive. Thanks for bringing it.

I will post a video when I get it a bit further along on rules because right now there are none and a video would just show that the game has flow to it and nothing else. So after I get a bit of rest ill get back to it and really show how I want this pin to be. really pretty upset that I didn't get to making the upper playfield functional and the rest of the sculpts completed before showing publicly but ill get there Nothing but time now since expo is over

Take your time and do it right.
Looking forward to seeing this at TPF'2017 in March with Buffy. 
Quoted from Troutfarm:How is there no Doom footage from Expo here? It is the one thing I was waiting to see
To be honest the machine really wasn't ready for play and it only had basic functionality
Quoted from T-800:Great job as usual Matt. Game looked great and was fun to shoot. Can't wait for next year with some more rules and animations.
Thanks Scott. Still so many things I'm going to add to it.
The models and toys are hand sculpted, molded and cast Not 3d printed Just correcting a podcast that said they are 3d printed
still working hard on the machine. mostly software at the moment and about to start prepping to help a fellow builder get some ramps and wireforms built
Quoted from bangerjay:Looks like I get to play some more dooooommmmmm!
your heading to TPF. Nice
A dream theme for me like so many others who loved playing DOOM in the 90s.
Looks great!
Can't wait to see some vids.
Not sure how I missed this thread until now, but you have created a custom game that I would actually want to own. Great job!!
Thanks Zitt. ive got a few more fresh molds ready to pour. Hope I can get them cast tonight and ready to install
