Nice work!
The layout for this game looks pretty sweet. Are those drop targets on the right side? Drop targets are underutilized in pins these days and is something I always liked shooting at.

Quoted from spfxted:Damn! I thought there was another update!
update, binned off all the OS, the P-ROC is poorly documented so we're moving to the Mission Pinball Framework. I'm thinking of a video to show you all round it as is. In the backbox, under the playfield etc. Nothing new just might be fun.
As for Artwork: As john says, art is the last step. I'll probably cut a new better playfield and move everything across to it. Interested in exploring other materials such as laminated poly/alu combo etc.

Great videos! I agree, the wiring job is second to none. Very efficient and the overall design looks like it would be easy to trouble shoot. Spinners are also always a nice touch too.
Quoted from mof:Hoping for a movie #3 with 10 minutes of game play to observe the flow of the design.

I'd like to see that too.
Beautiful. Love the mechanical design.
It's amazing to me that we still need to handle a raw piece of glass on new machines from the other guys to service the playfield! A college intern could design a better system that would cost less to manufacture.
Well,again,us peons will hafta wait for PAGG 2016 and hopefully this pin will be there! I wonder if JT will be there again for this one? sorry to see some of you comparing Pat L and John T,both do good stuff,and maybe there are a lot of folks that just like to play pinball,and aren't so technical about who did the thing!Peace

A few weeks in development hell. Luckily the MPF framework is nice (unlike the pypinproc stuff). Got to roughly where we were with the other system with the added bonus that sound and video actually work.
A quick Attract mode, still needs some antialiasing and other slides adding but this was a proof of concept.
Nice work. I'm sure Brian and the others are happy to see some MPF games coming along with more complicated display stuff.
Fwiw, I just finished the all new pyprocgame installer. Your trash talking is officially outdated.

This looks like another good game that Spooky could do a small run on.
I hope the license could be obtained to make it so.
Well a fair bit has been happening.
First up, all of the coils that were directly pulsed stopped working and we couldn't figure out why. Gerry wouldn't send us a schematic so we had no way of problem solving the boards. In the end I bought new boards and fitted them. No difference. Turns out a bug had crept into the MPF code braking the enable_true that it uses. At least I have some spare boards now but the 2 months it's taken is why it's been quiet.
We ditched the ball lifter and fitted a VUK for now as it immediately solves some big problems associated with the driving of it.
Still waiting for a final push on the graphical side as MPF moves to the new systems used... but I'll try to get some video posted on less than the months it's been since the last lot! Still lots to do, there's no modes yet and only today implemented multiball.
