NO F***ING WAY

Dont worry, Homepin has his Aussie cheer squad fired up and ready to slay those naysayers

I did find one picture of the Porsche pinball playfield, looks a bit like Firepower

we want to have faith, but that faith is stretched when his first game was a dud, and for some reason, he is too afraid to show us games 2 and 3

Lols, you still make me laugh

you know you want one

.....and i was quite happy to let this issue drop

a warranty from Homepin carries as much weight as a promise from a politician

it has been said that Chinese Zombies is a basic game. pictures would probably be disappointing and lead to another round of Mike bashing

At least you got to play Thunderbirds

Are we having fun yet?

I would agree, HomePin (not his distributors) released a teaser notice 4 months ago, and then went dark
anyone who has been in this hobby knows that in the absence of information, people will speculate
After the Thunderbirds $h!tfest, I would have expected a smarter rollout of information

Nah, saving my money for the Ballaramadingdong machine

No reason to ask Doug, he has no involvement in any way, shape , or form with Homepin

because they are a game builder, not a game shower
So it will be build plates, build schedules, building blueprints, (but strangely no building rapport)

OK, assume the picture is legit, it is the bottom left of the playfield with a ramp that is leading to the flipper feeder lane
does anyone else find the orientation of "Big Bottom" to be really weird?

Not using plywood

you don't usually see that many t-nuts used under a playfield
I wonder if there are t-nuts on the topside (under the art sheet) to hold in the mechs?

And if they are using MDF how is that going to hold up in humid conditions?

I am tingling in anticipation

Got to play this on the weekend
For me the problem with the ramps is not the welding, nor the curves, not the hinge or if you can make it up them with the flippers
It is that they are two big chunks of metal that hide most of the upper playfield
On other games, these would be plastic ramps, maybe with protectors for the entrance

There is a cricket bat on a spring mounted over the right slingshot

It was funny, at one point the slingshot was continuously firing, the cricket-bat just sat there and wobbled

edit

You don't think telling us they are sample games 3 days after the event might be missing the boat on getting the message out?

At least this time around I got to play the game

I dont think a Homepin can be fixed
IMHO one problem is the playfield overlay, in a bright room you just cannot tell if an insert is lit
The other problem with this game is the two, big, stainless steel ramps in the center of the playfield, they just block your view of the top of the playfield. any other company would have made the ramps from clear plastic and thus opened things up

OK, so we have to now play the game, and then listen to the sales spiel, before we can judge the game?
How many times should we play?

No point in being on a UK forum when he does not have a UK distributor

I have heard they are not shipping until september

Punkin is a great guy
he has only been in the hobby for a few years, he has games that are not 'A' list or LE's produced in the last few years. Does not mind giving a 'D" list title a try out
he regularly opens his collection for anyone to play

This hobby needs more people like him

I see the game is now upgraded with a third flipper, and the price has come down
