Quoted from jimjim66:RawleyD said:I'm sure JPop is well under 50.
I wish he was designing some games for Jersey Jack in the future.
agreed, pinball needs a younger generation of mainstream designers.
Really doesn't count as you point out he is not working for a major manufacturer. Plus it kind of goes to my point as he was working at Williams at the age of 19. What he is doing now is because of his experience there, and I would love to see new young guns get the same opportunity him and Ritchie got .
I'm sure you already know this (I'm only restating it to make a point), but John Popadiuk owns zidware - a company that is working on two pinball machines at the moment that are for sale to the public. One is called Magic Girl and the other is Zombie Adventure. Jersey Jack is a company that is currently working on one pinball machine called Wizard of Oz. Neither have ever demonstrated a working or shipped a pinball. Both have taken money for preorders. Both have had some level of videos demonstrating in progress ideas. Therefore, you cannot consider one a major manufacture and the other not. If anything, the advantage goes to Popadiuk who has two machines vs one announced and has designed many well known pinball machines in the past.
