Exciting to hear beta code is making the rounds. One thread with requests for improvement and tons of ideas of what needs tweaking is

It should be a must read by JJP programmers.

I wish JJP would change their position and decide to make more JJPOTC. Surely they could renew the license and set up a second line. Based solely on how good the game is, they should be able to sell another 1k pins, contingent on the price. Call it a special edition with a one time run of /1000. How about freezing the price at $10k? By offering the game at a fair price, they they build good will and this would be priced like a MMr Royal, it’s one true competitor.

A guaranteed way to sellout is to change the cabinet artwork package to the black pearl edition. That is what everybody wants and new buyers would be able to buy a dream theme pin with the BEST art package for a bargain. If marketed right, this would feel like a Spooky release and probably sell out in 4 hours. Boo yah, bitches!

Jack makes another single run of JJPOTC and everybody is happy, right? Well no because LE owners might be envious new buyers are getting the version they covet, so what is Jack to do? Well, he could sell black pearl radcals to LE owners plus whatever was needed to allow them to swap cabinet art. And that my friends, is a win-win-win.

Maybe we’ll get an early Christmas gift of JJPOTC 1.0 code by 12/24. And a promise to mine the code ideas thread for gold and a final round of changes. That would be fantastic news (if real), now to get Keith onboard.

I want JJPOTC code finished but know I’ll never get to the main wizard mode. The issue is a red herring. True it’s not done but oh well. Keep in mind the game has 5 movies each with a mini wizard mode. There is so much else going on when trying to have a great game that a player gets little sympathy noting the wizard mode is missing. Maybe JJP will add it if we give them more time but really, there’s no excuse for not having it in yet.

I don’t think JJP will ever rerun POTC. But if they decided to make another 500, I am posotive it would cost at least $15k and more likely $18k-$20k.
