Quoted from epotech:I didn't start the thread and I can't change the thread name.
Why not just start a new thread and link that thread at the bottom of this one?

Thanks for all the updates over the years epotech. It sure would be great to see this at Allentown or York this year.

Thanks all. Just yesterday we added a further switch so we can make the centre ramp do something more interesting. Requires some parts remaking but there's only so much you can forward plan.
Finished up all of the 5 modes and am working on the wizard mode. I found a huge performance improvement which was holding us back.
Yes I need to shoot some video but I'm crazy busy this time of year.
Quoted from StylesBitchly:This is my dream pin!!!!!
Yup!
Every time this thread gets bumped I want to believe that I’ll see “going to be produced by...” One of these days.

This movie is what got me obsessed with synthesizer music! That early analog synth sound track is what will really make it unique! No pin has ever had such an awesome retro sci fi vibe as this one would. It has to be made!!!!!!!!!! 
Please, Please, Please !!!! I'm begging!!

Started in on reprogramming for mpf v.50 been putting this off as it's a total PITA. The problem with the old version was the slide player just wasn't up to the task.
Been 3 weeks and I've just got to the skillshot. Been doing battle with the changes as some of the documentation is umm of questionable quality. Had tp make some compromises such as losing the accelerometer which i was using to level the table.
as the game was getting on for fully coded there must be 100000 lines of code to sort. Probably be a couple of months to sort.

I don't think people know that its filming... just saw a lady awkwardly rubbing her belly
Best sci-fi movie ever!
I wish you could hear the audio.
Is there chance of filming at least 1 game with the sound at a decent level before(or after)the room allows the general population into the hall?
Quoted from epotech:now running on MFP51, this has caused some sound quality issues so, back to the salt mines...
This is such a cool machine!
Any chance your machine will ever make it to the Allentown Pinball Show or any others in the US?
Hi guys. A busy weekend. MPF was experiencing a race hence the machine not serving a ball. There's a direct audio stream from Sunday both on YouTube and twitch. I had all sorts of problems with my laptop so hopefully you can at least hear something.
Yes we hope to tour at some point.

I took the lockdown (leicester UK was over a year!) to finish the code. Really only needs art.
Unfortunatley my attention has been elsewhere after being fired and suing them. It was supposed to ne at the recent UK pinfest but after 5 months unemployed I couldnt afford to take it.

Good luck to you. I hope things pan out with your job and hopefully, one day, we'll get to see the finished product.

Do you have any updates on the greatest pinball title/theme ever?
Quoted from epotech:Forbidden Planet will be at his years pinfest. Apart from that its done bar artwork which no one seems to want to tackle.
Wonder if he could reach out to a local university and find some talented student that needs a senior project?
