I see the first four titles have been announced, but is there anywhere that shows the next set of titles? How is the decision being made as to which titles will be updated, and what the priority of such will be?

soren will you use the initial post in this thread to provide completed/in the works titles so that we don't have to go searching throughout to find current status (of course I assume you will also post new comments freely as you see fit)?

BTW, if requests are being taken mine would be Getaway using L2 as the foundation.

Quoted from sparksterz:

Same, checking the info here though it appears as though L-5 was the base version: http://tiltforums.com/t/seeking-knowledge-on-the-getaway-quirkiness-and-oddities/2942/46
If secret mania was fixed, it really only leaves the "Run The Red Light" animation...I might still be tempted to stay on L-2 in that case though >.>

Personally, I would be okay with L5 if the "run the red light" display mode was added back (I assume this was taken out purely as a public safety measure, but come on. Who's going to really run a red light just because they are influenced by a display on a pinball machine?) I know L5 has 2-state flippers (assuming you have the hardware) - no biggie to me. It also fixes a couple of bugs in L2: secret mania forgotten ball locks and endless multiball (a rarity for me running L2, but it has occurred). Also, I know that L5 has multi-ball releases from lock during multi-player, but not exactly sure how this plays out in a real game (I rarely play multi-player).

Quoted from soren:

Unfortunetly, there is a bunch of more issues with Getaway. You can get stuch in a gear. Meaning that pulling the lever do not advance to the next gear.
You can also drain with RLM lit. And then it is unlit on next ball.
These are seldom seen problems. That I cannot reproduce at will. And, as with anything else, it can be rooted in faulty switches (as triggering when they should not) and RAM corruption. Problems local to a specific machine. Not general software bugs.
Further field reports are much appreciated.

As far as my personal experience, I have not once had either of these issues ever occur in the 5+ years I've owned Getaway (running L-2).

Quoted from matiou:

Sometime the timed ball save feature can also become an exploit... People would voluntary drain on Getaway to get another shot at trying the loop, which is not the spirit!

I "exploit" it all of the time to get through the gears.

However, I am curious why it wasn't originally programmed like other pins where once it is used during a ball then it is disabled for the remainder of that ball.

Quoted from Enver:

RBION's correctly adjusted shooter lane gives you a Jackpot when draining and letting the machine 'ball save'. Nothing wrong with a good grasp of a game's rules.

Sorry, I’m confused why your quoted two Getaway posts. What is the correlation you are making?

What, if any, is the progress with Getaway?

If no progress, when is it tentatively scheduled to be worked on?
