Quoted from Honch:
That has got to be very disappointing to anybody invested in this project.
Extremely.

Seems like KISS, the only game he wasn't paid by customers to do, is currently his most completed game.
I consider myself a patient man, but I think I would have bailed on JPOP by now. Good luck to you guys still in it. I hope it happens for you and soon.

I hope that isn't true. I'd be f'n pissed.
Negative Nancys. JPop is going to come through in spades. I'm sure he just doesn't want his ideas to be replicated. So limited showings until closer to full release.

This is definetly true as anyone that has been on the owners blog knows that JPOP has more to show than random art and empty cabinets.

That makes sense. NOT!!!
Quoted from frolic:
ugh. what I feared. cabinets, and some art and some parts shown.
Ouch...
FWIW, these cabs look like the ones he posted pics of WAAAAYYY back on the dev blog. Those of us who have access to the dev blog have seen much more progress than this.
Take the shop tour if you can, you'll see.
That said.... I'm STILL waiting for my refund.
JPop has made it impossible for his customers to sell or transfer ownership.
1. Refunds have been issued extremely slowly
2. Project is private so the only people who can see the work is the owners - I have no problem with that. The problem is that if a buyer needs to get out there is no information on the game and access to the private forum isn't provided to potential customers.
These are just the cabs, why would we be upset? We know what's going in there!
I thought we might see a MG there........

Yeah...I thought for sure MG would appear.
Quoted from Hwawonyu:
Raza art. Is the Martian from Mars attacks!
Exactly! I still have a big issue with this.
When Ben Heck left the project his likeness and the vibe of the game got slowly turned into a (very non-zombie) rendition of Mars Attacks. I think this portion of the theme is a bit of a fail on JPOPs part and his need to irradicate Ben could easily have been done without all the alien content. The original mad scientist comps we saw for the cab were far better IMO to the green martian babes and main character. We've already been down the whole alien road with AFM, RFM and others. No need to dilute your original idea.
Quoted from ChadH:
Very cool.
I'm curious... what are the terms of this "case of beer" bet between iceman and RD?
I haven't been on this thread for a while ... (I don't have anything preordered. Ever...)
Ice and I wagered a case of beer that Ice would have a new JPOP game in his house by Xmas 2014.
Every day, my thirst deepens.
I stopped drinking months ago, so that I may savour the moist drops of Ices beer come December 26th ...

Why is he working on so many games at once?
Quoted from hank527:
I'm selling my RAZA spot if anyone wants it?
Tired of the wait and want a TBL badly.
If I promise to send you the money with the same timeliness that you promise that I'll receive the game, can we strike a bargain?
The burn, is as an owner, I still had no idea what he was and was not going to show at expo. Last he said on his blog, he was going to have a big "reveal" in October. So, unless there is a flipping game at the shop that some owners would like to tell me they got to see, the disappointment is justified.
Worse pr move I ever seen... Great seminar, really shows how much love and dedication he's put into it for us. Then at the end pulls out raza transglass sees people pull out cameras and puts it away. Was out for two seconds literally.. Someone post a pic I know a few got it... But great way to make people give him money.. Don't show them after u say in the beginning u would!
Quoted from rotordave:
New Zealand's biggest brewer, Lion Breweries, heard of the famous Iceman-RD wager and have created a special beer to prematurely celebrate our victory (cough...) Us kiwis take a wager seriously!
Check it out! A nice fresh tasting beer it is too.

That maybe true but holy ___ -that's a sweet looking cabinet!

I must confess that part is really, really beautiful. And I have no horse in that race.
What is that clear disk on the side of the cabinet? A mounting bracket for something?
Edit: lol. I knew I wouldn't be the only one to wonder what it was.
Jpop will drill out a hole the plexi will show a led toy inside the cabinet. Plexi is installed hole not drilled yet
Quoted from RyThom:
What's the deal with the plexiglass porthole on the right side?
Not allowed to tell you

Quoted from Drano:

When this game is finally done is anyone going to be allowed to play it?!
Quoted from boo32:
Were there two different sets of art on the cabs?
Just different left and right sides
Nope. You're right... seems he's still playing with art options. Maybe we can still convince him to kill the alien
Quoted from boo32:
Interesting plastic circle bolted on the side of the cabinet.
Wait till you see what it does on the completed game
Quoted from RyThom:
What's the deal with the plexiglass porthole on the right side?
That's probably my favorite part of the cabinet. If you think about it for a minute I'm sure you can figure it out...
Quoted from Concretehardt:

No doubt.. Only problem is that key word.... Wait!
