Earthshaker Aftershock - Oct 2014 Gameplay Video

Hey Everyone,
I have recorded a preliminary gameplay video of my Earthshaker Aftershock project. I wanted to post this out there for those of you that can not make it to Expo.

Two things to note about this video:
1. The software is still in Beta form, so there are a bunch of things that I still need to work on.
2. I am not good at pinball, so I did not get very deep into the game.

There will be more code updates before Expo as I am continuously working on this machine.

More info on the project:

October 2014 Pre-Expo Gameplay Video:

Let me know what you think, I am always open to constructive, non-constructive, and offensive criticism.

No no no, you are confusing me for someone else. Algar is LIONMAN and LIONMAN is Algar...

IMO the music would get on my nerves really quick.

It really is the lesser of the evils. Most pinball music is annoying when you play it non-stop for days on end... Plus the original music of Earthshaker was annoying and I wanted to stick true to the original.

If you are using the Pop Bumper Illumination to indicate some feature etc. I would suggest you start with Solid burn (not dark) and then slow flash and then fast flash if you need another indicator.

Good call! The pops mode is not yet implemented, but I will definitely fix that before Expo. The playfield just looks dark when I start a game. I need to look into a few other things to brighten is up a bit too.

Thanks,

I don't think anyone else has attempted the install as it is pretty in depth. The code is still out there for reference. I am not actively working on the code anymore. If someone wants to make a new branch in Github, feel free!

A really nice guy in Florida currently owns it. I got a chance to chat with him at TPF about it and it is still up and running strong! I am really glad it is out there being enjoyed. I hope he brings it to a show I am at sometime in the future so I can reminisce.

My buddy Matt ("cleanandlevel") owns the game. He keeps this one in Michigan, and he does hope to bring it to a show one of these days, so likely a northern show if it happens.

I know a Florida guy that's trying to make one as well, so perhaps there will be two eventually, but Scott's original would always be special.

Is there a way to run the code in a virtual environment to check it out? Something like the MPF monitor. I don’t use virtual pin software much, but could I take someone’s earthshaker file and throw this code into that?

At the time we emailed… I thought about picking this up from you after seeing that video. Never been a Earthshaker fan but what you did was pretty cool. I really liked the music and your wife’s call outs!

Does the original thread exist anywhere? PinballControllers now redirects to multimorphic. I'd love to do this to my ES. It's great to see the code in python.
