Quoted from brado426:Holy smokes! Sentry Gun mode now looks amazing!
I think that timing is perfect!
Is this just random or are they tied to the spinners somehow in the mode? looks bad ass man.

Quoted from Kkoss24:I can’t contain myself .This game is so damn incredible as is I can’t imagine what’s in store when it arrives .You guys need to officially name this mod .It deserves something fitting .You can’t show up at the Twippys with “Alien Apron Mod”
Since this mod has limited reach (100 sold), we need every owner to vote for this come Twipy time!! Keep this top of mind when the vote season opens up.

It is random.

Of course ,but what do you think about naming it ? In DP , Hellhouse is not called “deadpool scoop mod” and Pinstadiums has a more exiting ring to it than “brighter lights strip”.I’m not trying to name it like some people that try to name others newborns ,I’m just saying they need a name that sticks out as they will be creating more of these for different titles .

I like "Alien Annunciator" myself... it has a ring to it... but I'm a huge nerd.
Quoted from brado426:I implemented a Sentry Gun mode. Unfortunately, we don't have access to the state of the sentry guns firing, but you got me thinking and I did implement a randomly timed sentry blade strobing. I'm pretty happy with it... I'm thinking there should be more shorter bursts, so that may be adjusted.
Notice that the blades dim while in Sentry mode. That's because that's how I have it set in the Alien Annunciator config tool. You can configure any blade color for Sentry Gun mode.
A future enhancement could be to randomly strobe the left blade or the right. I think that would be an additional cool effect.
Thanks for digging in. Having choices for the mode is super cool as well. Very appreciated.

perhaps a play on both the alien name and the company name could suffice? Alien Evolution Apron as example... Game/Company/Product. Could work for the next project as well "Madness Evolution Apron" or some shit like that. LOL
However ,I will throw some suggestions in the box 
I would guess a pinhead spends roughly 66% of a game staring at the lower portion of the machine .We all know the apron is there ,we just don’t “see it “. Now with the “Miniskirt” (tm), we will need to figure out how to re attach our eyeballs back in the sockets you know ,so we can see it again
F8BFB3D1-C288-4CFA-8992-7DFA8FCB23CC (resized).pngQuoted from Zablon:Yeah I noticed this last night. I set mine sentry gun color to red, and then it switches to white when it strobes'. Makes a nice panic effect. I actually had that same thought to strobe the left or right separately during it.
I changed mine to RED and wow... that is the proper color for Sentry Gun Mode!!! Not only does it look cool while running, but the transition when Sentry Gun mode starts is excellent. I also just changed it so while the strobing is going on one blade, the other blade doesn't blank anymore. I think that is a big improvement also.
When the mod creators are excited about how the product is turning out you know it's going to be good.

Oh, hell yeah, dude! That looks sick
Quoted from Drain-O:I didn't miss a PM did I? Are you guys shipping to anyone who makes the final payment, or just to some select beta testers?
You didn't miss any PM's we are shipping the orders that were Apron only right now, we will be sending PM's to the Apron & Beacon orders in a couple of weeks asking for final payments. Thanks
Time for a follow up review on this apron now that i have tinkered with it a bunch.
I had a hiccup that was preventing me from using anythign on apron that was triggered from Muther scoop. After much trouble shootin, it Turns out that Pbros wired the muther scoop on my machine wonky once i sorted that out, we were golden and using all functions of the apron as intended.
I really do beleive that this apron is bees knees.. to me, it just added that extra something something to tie it all together. All SV, LV owners can benefit from the features the apron offers. I am using what i think is the release canditdate programming and it is smooth running so far.
The coding now gives the option to change the strobe effect timing and strobe color for Hyper Sleep Multiball, you also now have a green flash with random white "bursts" during Sentry Guns along with any stacked or remaining multiballs with thier own timings and white strobe effects. Each is paried along with unique beacon "flashes" for Muther scoop and general beacon effects for all multiballs. Fire effect on multiball is customizable as well.
I will try to pop up a video on Sentry to Youtube this weekend.. I have a battery issue on laptop that will not allow my external cameras to work.. may just do it on phone.. will see.
If anyone has questions just reach out to me.. ill be happy to share my experience with Installation, trouble shooting, etc.

I see some Aprons have text below ALIEN that says Limited Edition. Who gets this version?
Quoted from DoorCounty:I see some Aprons have text below ALIEN that says Limited Edition. Who gets this version?
You had to state which version you had when ordering I believe .
If anyone has info (pictures)on the 3D trans that was produced for the LV I’d greatly appreciate it .I’ve been searching with no results thus far .I’ve heard he’s finished with them, but we’re only getting started with these pins landing and I’m just trying to make a decision on wether to purchase a SV and use the blue lighting or wait and see if I can find a LV or possibly another run .
Quoted from DoorCounty:I see some Aprons have text below ALIEN that says Limited Edition. Who gets this version?
Think they decided against that long ago:
Quoted from DoorCounty:I see some Aprons have text below ALIEN that says Limited Edition. Who gets this version?
As I understand it, none of them have "Limited Edition". The one you see in the photos is a sample Heighway LE Apron, it was used to test/create/develop the mod.

Should we be worried about anything?
Quoted from paulbaptiste:Should we be worried about anything?
I would take that as a sign of "my services are no longer needed now that production is being finalized", but what do I know.

Thank you for all the time and cat wrangling you've done to make this thing a reality. I hope there are no shenanigans involved and you're just moving on to new things!

The team would like to thank Royale-W-Cheese for his involvement in this project and we wish him all the best for the future.
I will be the one notifying you guys for final payments and or shipping costs when the time comes. Please don't worry everyone will receive their apron as we go through the list. We are trying to get to the point of shipping 10-20 aprons a week, we have currently shipped 36 aprons and are moving through the list as quickly as we can. I will be sending notifications to the next 15 people within a couple of days. Please have a little more patience with us as we are in the final stages of this wonderful mod and we can't wait for all of you who ordered to get them installed on your machines.
Quoted from Chosen_S:Got mine in the mail, looks amazing, just waiting on my machine to arrive now
Picture?
Did it ship from overseas?
Quoted from cpr9999:Picture?
Did it ship from overseas?
Came from the Netherlands , also a sticker from Evolution mods in Lago Vista Texas
Sorry I repacked it. Too many packing peanuts to deal with, looks just like the one posted above 
I should be getting mine this week. Cleared customs in NY according to the tracking number I received.
Quoted from KJS:Hi...check out the Alien owners thread

Thank you and can’t wait to see it in person .
I had mine here yesterday but nobody was home to sign for it . Now I’m camping overnight at the post office so I’m first in line
I’m hoping to get to it later this week , as without money from these other jobs I would be pinless. This game just keeps getting better , our whole house plays it and we play it more than any others when first got them .
