It would be nice to get the page and a half of deleted posts back. Seems really relevant because it was discussion over IP.

Quoted from eneatoluzzo:Pinball dragon s lair homebrew
STOP
Because digital leisure decide to not make a pinball with this fantastic theme
A work for about 5 years long stop
If someone think my project could have a second chance... help me.
Join me.
Write to digital leisure.
Ask them to review their decision
And take dragon s lair intorno pinball word
Thanks to all
Any updates on the technology you plan to use and what that might look like under the hood? You seemed confidence you had an out of the box solution.
Regarding the IP, I can see the possibility of starting a Kickstarter getting shut down if you don't have the IP. However, they can't stop you from making your one off homebrew as long as you aren't planning to profit from it. Hopefully, your five years of work will be worth it for you to have your dream machine. It might even get you in the door at a real pinball company, just not by making a Dragon Lair theme pin.
Quoted from arcademojo:There never was a kickstarter. He was only taking a poll to see how many people would be interested in doing a kickstarter.
The thread by Haymaker made it appear to be an actual Kickstarter. I didn't read the source article until just now. It said upcoming Kickstarter.
Quoted from Knapp_Arcade:I’m very sorry that your project has been halted. I was excited to see the game. Something may have been lost in translation from Italian to English, but I reported exactly what you wrote in the article. I did not embellish anything. I am fan of your work and want to see the game completed. This is exactly what I wrote, which I believe very accurately reflects the situation.
“The individual who is working on the project posted a poll in the "Dragon's Lair Pinball" Facebook Group about an upcoming Kickstarter for the game. Beyond the funding information, the post also talks about the showing of three versions of the game, Standard, Limited and Premium, "after the official expo." I wonder if this means the upcoming Pinball Expo that is scheduled to take place in Chicago from October 19th through the 22nd of this year? I vaguely remember talk about that event and this project in the past, so probably. If the project funds the post stated that production of the game will begin in 2023.”[quoted image]
It's amazing how easy it is for a FB post to lead to a blog post, and then the dominos afterwards. Vetting info for an article is difficult because you don't know what is real or not. Easy to get duped by a fake account. Other than reaching out to OP via Pinside, not sure how you could have vetted your story better. Worth thinking about.
