JJPOTC Updates for Production

https://clips.twitch.tv/ObliqueBlitheTortoiseMVGame

Quoted from PanzerFreak:
I just noticed that the intro chapter video clips are missing as well What happened? Why are they gone? When the star map area is now hit to start a chapter the little canons representing each chapter at the top of the LCD screen trigger and then the mode starts with no chapter animation.
On another note the production game looks to play super smooth and fast!

I wonder if this is a setting perhaps? Can't imagine why they would remove all the video for chapters unless they are going to change some of them. Makes no sense.

Cool thing about the video they added was there are different videos for the various levels of damage.

We were aborting chapter starts because the feed can insta drain if the ball is settled. Don't worry, we have a fix in software coming that we think will work well.

i have noticed on previous streams when the ball settles in the mode start hole on the right side of the up post it drains straight to the left outlane.
Maybe that is what they are trying to fix.

How do you abort chapter starts?

Or is this a software thing? Hoping the chapters scenes come back!

Thanks Keith. That's good to hear that a software fix is in the works. The chapter intro clips are a must have in my opinion as they help tie the modes to the movies and help immerse the player in chapter modes.

News: I'm sure JJP's highest priorities are building and shipping units. "Pinball is hard" Everyone's day will come I'm sure. Hang in there.

Hey guys, I think you're reading too much into the chapter aborts. Sorry we didn't clarify earlier.

Like in most games, if there is a cut scene, multiball intro, bonus screen, etc, you can skip it by hitting both flipper buttons. We added that feature to the chapter cut scenes recently. They are absolutely still in the game! We just happen to do it a lot because we're impatient pinball players, so it looked like it happened nearly every time we started a chapter.

Thanks,

We prefer to complain and argue about what we assume or didn’t pay attention to. Fire, shoot, aim.... bravo again To you and the dream team that put this work of art together.

On the high score pages I see a reference to Locker escapes. I'm assuming this is something in reference to Davey Jones Locker but haven't seen this in the stream videos before. Any ideas?

Stern usually produces LEs early in the production cycle.
I much prefer the JJP approach where the CEs are produced later in the cycle after all the little production changes/improvements are figured out.

Stern sent out a batch of IM pros before the LEs

I've been talking like a pirate to my kids all day. My 5 year old comes up to me and says "the foul pet of Davy Jones!" What a great quote! Hope Davy is coded tonight!

Davey Jones I believe is selectable in the game now but not sure what his scoring or powers are. Liars Dice may or may not apply to more than just Davey Jones, kind of got the impression it is a video mode of some kind.

In a stream Eric mentioned that he had been talking about raising the sails and everybody thought he meant physical sails, what he meant to my memory was the sails that you raise with the spinners. Correct me if I am wrong.
Anyhow, sails would not have fit on the ship.

I got one yesterday, it will be on location in NYC on Monday, probably in the Financial district, near the south street seaport. I'll play it on Saturday, but I'm hearing people like it more than the test games.

Or maybe as your hammering away on the spinners there should be some video of sails or pirate flags being hoisted like in at worlds end movie where they all hoist their colors.
