Quoted from cyberslunk:Any update to this?
Ask this question once Kingpin remake has shipped.

My bad, I was reading earlier posts from a few years ago and missed that there was just an update about a month ago.

Quoted from Lamberger:Bueller? Bueller? Looks like the dream of owning this game is over. Pinball Circus to be "donsky"
I haven't given up hope yet. But it's probably just delusion because i love this machine so much. Wonder how high it would go if one ever made it to auction?
I truly believe both this title and Kingpin will be made. Covid 19 has effectively put a stop to a lot of things and this project I am sure is affected by it.
Since this was a bunch of guys in a garage (figuratively) , it seems like they could have gotten more done. That being said they also typically announced things at or around shows. With no shows I hope they have been making progress and just waiting to show it off once they can. I mean Kingpin looked pretty much mechanically done and it was code that was the next big item. Unless the coder didn't have access to a game for testing there can be a lot of work done without interacting with people.
Quoted from chad:They need to get King Pin done first to help fund Pinball Circus. It'll get done in do time.
I wonder why not the other way around?
Having owned playfields and parts to pinball circus and having had a original kingpin I can only wish these got done. Unless a major pinball maker with a factory steps up and builds these for them I will never get my hopes up of buying either one anytime soon

Probably Kingpin? I played it at MGC in 2019 and it was awesome. Pinball Circus would be amazing but I don't know how far along it is?

Quoted from tonyf1965:Not sure why it’s been so long.
Small group of Python friends want his game to get produced.
Not going to happen over night, and covid I'm sure mucked things up along with other manufacturers might have their hands full producing their own games right now instead of taking on contract work.
I do believe the dedicated group will get it made.

Might be time to hand the project over to a pinball company that honors a fair price. They only care about this game getting out for Python, right? No bean counters

By the time this gets made you can just ask Python to build you one himself when you meet him in heaven.

If *Hope* is a plan, then plan on this game showing up, no matter what the ice cold facts of the last 5 (or more) years have shown us.
Kingpin - as dead as it looks.
Pinball Circus - it was never alive.
Hoping there is still movement towards any finish line is just that; hope.
Only a company with money, a plan, and access to a manufacturing facility will be able to move the needle in the right direction. That is not Circus Maximus.
Quoted from cait001:There's the new-style hope: maybe the assets will get bought up by a company that can get it done.
But why would they? I doubt they would sell many at $5k even - it's a niche novelty game.
Quoted from Damonator:But why would they? I doubt they would sell many at $5k even - it's a niche novelty game.
People would pay a lot more than 5K. Maybe not a bunch of people, but probably similar numbers as with other boutique titles.

There's a lot of games you could label 'niche novelty'. I'd happily pay 10+k for a Pinball Circus.
