artwork looks great Ben, and heard that Spooky can possibly make this - do it, there are a few interested Australians.

Spooky Pinball will be using these as well.

What about "Ghost Hunters" as a name option

Also if you don't sell the game would love a playfield to hang on the wall - love it.

no I'm not aware of programming there....

Like it..... especially instead of the Start Again it says Spook Again

What about "Spirit Squad"

+1 this just seems right, surely there is a way

as for production batches of 25 on demand through Spooky Pinball, build to the demand, don't do the Stern LE approach at stupid prices as it looks like people just want to enjoy your game 25, 50 up to 1000 if need be.

If it goes into production will it be geared up with coin door, as well as cabinets for export sales.

I am keen to learn more as want to do a custom pinball

agree with a list for a boardset, I am interested

looks awesome Ben, love the glasses, playfield isn't too busy but looks excellent

Curious Ben, if this goes into production, do you have a business / company name ?

in a info blurp on spooky episode before the last, Charlie did say that he can contract to produce pins and mentioned Ben's name - we just have to hope now that they do make it.... this would be awesome as well as PZFBTG.

Charlie is also using Ben's boards in his pin

awesome Ben, can't wait to see more vids

any ideas on goal price point?

like montu said - love the layout

the games looks great and actually has a story to it so it is a fresh approach, and at a guess not even Ben has finished all the code so he hasn't even played a full game himself, so sure after he plays many games that he might say this is good, or this is too much or this just needs some tweaking.

thanks for letting us in and watch the games development Ben

on a constructive side I think the dialogue may be a little too much, but I am excited to watch a full game played with the playfield in a cabinet, with a true speaker system and then see how it all fits together - good luck at the show and itching to see some more vids, thanks

+1 on any videos

Quite a compliment from Steve Ritchie

In the 5th Element Thread Ben sad this about 5th Element. "This would be in my Top 5 pinball themes, along with Roadhouse, Bible Adventures, Tesla VS Edison and Battlestar Galactica."

5th Element would be cool, but Telsa VS Edison would be a real interesting one.... but for now hoping to see GS become reality

Ben

thanks for posting, interesting though could you post a downloadable pdf with some sample code as curious what it looks like.

you made a comment that it takes years to learn, I am keen to do a project pin but got a little scared when you made that comment as I thought dam will I be able learn to program.....

also in Spooky's most recent podcast Charlie said if you are interested in Ghost Squad to contact him (Charlie) to place your name on wait list - so head to Spooky Pinball's website and drop a email

Phantom force is my pick between the 2

yes, sounds good as you still want the focus on ghosts

Ben, a design question, when you have made proto type parts for you game with your 3D printer did you do them out of PLA or ABS plastic.

Reason I am asking is that I want to do a custom pin and looking at a printer, any info, help or opinions would be much appreciated.

great idea with the ghost colour matching the insert colour mission

looks good ben

that is great Ben, a definite winner - love the green mode

AMH update:
Batch of 10 test PCB's "pinHeck" system in from China. Hand stuffing a few for the Expo demo machines. Once they've been all checked out we'll do a larger pre-stuffed order.
Chuck, Bryan F'ing Kelly Blue Shirt and friends put together the first production prototype over the weekend. It's looking really good, we're still deciding on some final touches. Excited for Chuck to finally release some pics. PF art is almost identical from MGC, but now has plastics, flashers, GI, etc.
This coming weekend we'll test the new PCB's in the production game.
Between now and Expo I'll be working on code to flesh it out with as much animation as I can, and Chuck will refine the prototypes.
We may sell the boards for game builders but that's not a priority at the moment. We also don't have a DMD conversion GUI yet (it's still command line!)

sounds awesome, I would eventually like to get a builders set of boards

I also saw on Spooky facebook the progress shots of the Expo machines, lol

thanks for sharing, very interesting and great to understand the process a little better

I got an email and I think they are offering to the first 25 people (1st batch) that put their names down. I was one but they haven't worked out freight to Aus yet and recently lost my job so backed out of the 1st batch of AMH pins. When a position is given up it is offered to the next person in order on the list. If you are bumped, you are fedd into the next batch, I think….

I too would love to see a video as well, and the email said that they MAY be offering a 2nd option of art on the cabinet and translite to buyers.

Looks great Ben, like how the playfield art flows to the cabinet, well done
