Quoted from zacaj:Now, maybe if the shows offered some benefits to homebrews specifically, I'd be more interested? Pintastic just treated it like a normal game for free play, I assume Pinfest and York would be the same.
I'm sorry that we at Pintastic didn't make it more clear about the special rewards for homebrew games. You earned a bunch of Bonus Points for bringing a game that you designed. If you didn't redeem the points, they will be waiting for you next show.
We have some internal debates about game placement in the Free Play room. We always try to give homebrew games special positioning, knowing that there will be a lot of photography and impromptu discussions around each one. If we put them all in one zone, which we mostly did, then we might have too many people crowded in one place. Our MyFlipR software supports a full range of positioning options and allows us to show the game position down to an individual spot if we choose. Do you think we should have special signage? What other actions could we take to give homebrew designers their just rewards?
