Here's my handrawn-loosley traced placeholder art until I dive into Photoshop. You can see the end of his finger is the home phone light which was always the plan.
I used this as an opportunity to move the ballsave light to his chest so that was cool!
Anyways make your walking turd jokes

Well I've been playing a lot of pinball with Friends and I've been at the pinball asylum fixing games for worlds coming up so I haven't been super available to work further on this game I have been playing it and making some slight tweaks here and there, I'm trying to get my translite in order, then cabinet art, I can tell you that the game is very fun it has some awesome flow and it has been well received by anybody who has played it.
Quoted from Vin-bot:wisefwumyogwave , can you post some pics of what it looks like now?
Sure thang.

If you mean in the coin door area that is the bonus counter when the ball drains I pull some motor with an end switch in the cycle if you've made a Target Bank it gives you three points per as it runs around the seven switches

Yep that's what I was referring to and again, absolutely incredible...

Do you have any idea how much your game weighs with all the relays and wiring? Just curious is it comparable to a typical EM?
Quoted from TreyBo69:Do you have any idea how much your game weighs with all the relays and wiring? Just curious is it comparable to a typical EM?
I can tell you it doesn't feel heavier than wizard of Oz or Twilight zone which I moved on recently.
EDIT-but close
Orlando, FL
So when Fort Myers elevators switch over to digital circuit boards you snag all the old relays?
I kid! I kid!
IDEA!- All your coin door keys should be those hinged-rods you use to open outer elevator doors.
I got to play this tonight. It is awesome and much harder then I imagined. Need to get more time on it. The multiball mode is super cool. The work that when into this is incredible.

Just watched ET at the movies last nite… I think I actually like it more than I did as a kid. There’s a lot more to it than silly alien moments and a bike chase, lol.

New translite thanks to cj69 one of my best buds. He made a blackout for the back to overcome coloring issues with the deep blacks printing at FedEx, a solid fix, I'd say it works very well!

Me neither, I figured it could be a great solution for someone struggling to print something at a chain so I had to share.

I look forward to doing an interview about this game
and some footage like we did with DRAGON BALL Z!

Thank Matt, although I did resize and create the blackout print, the art itself was done by the same artist that is preparing the cabinet art for my Hellraiser re-theme, His name is Neil Fraser and you can find his work at https://www.neilfrasergraphics.com/ He creates Alternate movie posters and his work caught my eye one day and I found that he is easy to work with.
