All this flooble crank talk is making me glad the game has no plumbus!

Anybody notice how small Scott’s flooblecrank is? Is it supposed to be 1:8 scale or something? Had to open the picture on my desk monitor just to verify it was there.

Definitely a lot of chairorpians in this thread.

Oh but it does

What's the plural for plumbus?

Gross.

Plumbii

I was maybe worried about an interactive toy, but I'm okay with sophisticated art.

A plumbus shooter rod that splits the fleeb

Anyone know the size of the fang club print? Was it in the details of the FC? Wanna keep an eye out for a decent frame.

Disregard: its 24x36

Definitely not with two i's, and probably not with one.

Actual consensus out there appears to be "plumbuses." Rick even said "plumbuses" at one point.

Went with this one fellas. $16 with code.

Quote from Rick in the show:

"I always wondered how plumbuses were made!"

Who's going to be the first to post
" I saw 50 new posts and thought there was going to be some news but it's all talk about flooblecrank , when are they going to show some game play. "

Yup. Somehow you guys are making regular pinball nerds look super-cool.

Rick and Morty will make even the biggest pinball nerd as cool as Fonzie .

Does the game come with a pin-plumbus-holder?
I did notice this game does not have a spooky sub box of death inside. I’m sure it still sounds great just not TNA booming. Anyways. I had a great mod idea. Microverse sub box. More like the one in the first miniverse. Green glowing. Solid glued plexi and a plate on the end for hookups.

Hopefully the machine has a Plumbus Docking Bay!

'You know, Morty... it goes in the bill slot so (BuuuaRp!) the owner gets Free Play when they stick their plumbus in there! . Wubba Lubba Dub Dub!'

But now we've already moved back on around again to plumbuses!

... and pretty soon I guess things could even start to get a bit ... Schwifty in Here!!?!

I'm enjoying all of it , I'm glad the number talk has sorted itself out .

Can’t wait to see a stream!

Has this thread been a "hot topic" the entire time it has existed? ... over 5 weeks?

I guess for us, Scotts game is our microverse "gooblebox". For Rick or Morty in the game, every shot (and the whole "world under glass") is their miniverse "boobleyank". Zeep's teenyverse with the "flooblecrank", is then of course obviously going to be, well, the flooblecrank. Which it is!

One little bar of metal. Repeated over and over and over. It all adds up to Powering Scotts Car!

my money is on you...

Ha Ha . Don't throw your money away . Give it to a charity you like .

my machine is going on route... but the crowd changes later at night... anyway my metallica already drops F bombs so I am not that worried about it

card systems can do this already... and for what this machine costs I can't imagine anyone putting it on freeplay unless you are a flat rate place

unlike 99% of them that will get squirrelled away mine isn't going in my house

doubt it, I'm an operator and I'm waaaayyy down the list

PS: something something plumbus

Interesting interview with Bowen about rules...

Megaseeds are Bonus, and each collects 5% of your score at the end of the ball!

I guess that means that if you collected 20 megaseeds then end of ball Megaseed Bonus value, would be 100% of your score?

*I don't know if there are other additional end of ball bonus awards?, and if they would be applied before or after the megaseeds bonus multiplier.... ?

This guy maths.

Okaaaay ?

Toxic, Morty ? ... acts as a divisor, worthless shots?

Sounds like seeds bonus doesn't compound, then.

It was a fairly long interview. I'll be listening again in the morning..

Yep so 20 seeds is 100% boost, similar to a 2x multiplier and it carries over to remaining balls. 100 seeds is the max and is similar to a 5x multiplier. I like this method of linking the seeds to multiplier, applying it to your total score and carrying it over. Won’t be long now til we see first game delivered and can watch game play footage. Maybe Spooky will honor us with a stream that shows who has game -> pitting Scott D, Eric P, David vE, Bowen K and Justin R.

That Would be Awesome!!

Any update on this?

Imagine how much it's going to suck if you tilt during a really good ball if you're that high on seeds.

I got high on seeds once, tilted the whole damn universe Morty!

Remember when people were wondering why the heck you'd change dimensions when bad things may happen and all you get is a lousy seed? I guess that's our answer. Risk/reward.

Sounds like getting as many seeds on your first ball as possible is going to be valuable. Sounds like fun! I love "do it early" or "do it late" gameplay features!

Knowing that Bowen hates all the shitty math-chess multiplier bullshit that’s kept me from enjoying new games for the past 5 years makes me extra confident about my purchase.

I just hope we get a lot of Ricks vs. Reward.

I don’t know what’s worse... waiting on getting some new gameplay footage on this new RM pin to get my fix. Or realizing after I watch it that I still have a looooooooooooong way until I get my RM pin!

Great interview with Bowen about R&M. Nice to hear about the randomization of adventures and how the Morty Adventure Card works. Also nice to hear Bowen's excitement about the game, so it looks like it's going to be great. I have #722, so only the 28 folks behind me has the right to complain about their delivery times!

I second this complete statement. "Shitty math-chess multiplier bullshit" - nailed it!

Seeds give you a headache... but I digress.

Ha ha good one!

I won’t give you hard time but only because your #722 so I feel your pain.

Anyone have an extra Morty for sale? I picked up all the other characters at Walmart. Thought these looked kind of neat.

Edit: Fixed the image.

Idea for a multiplayer Topper...
I just listened to the first portion of Slap Save's most recent podcast...great job by the way on that show. Listening to Bowen talk about how you are a Morty and how there are challenges in keeping track of progress across games...I began to wonder if it would make sense for Spooky to come out with a super innovative topper that not only looks awesome; but, also incorporates an aspect of player recognition (XBOX Kinect based sensor like), multiplayer support and remote code updates which would be delivered via the topper which could have the necessary networking components to make it happen and connect via USB to the main system. Advantages I can think of doing this is that having your networking components on top of the machine would give better wifi coverage. Kinect Sensor used to identify players (facial recognition) would be in an ideal location above the machine looking at the player, and having embedded cameras (audio and video capable) for net based play against other locations would be awesome. Cameras could also be used for streamers (go-live integration). And on screen display could be done in a non-obtrusive postage stamp view like way where the feed comes across of the other player in the corner of the main display for the machine so you can see and talk to the other person across the net. Hell, lets use our Fang club memberships as a player identification system. In order to do online play you would need a Fang club membership which would be great value to us and bring an ROI to spooky on an annual basis. Maybe even multiplied value for them if each recognizable player would require that account with them. Then spooky maintains the game history, profiles, high scores, game updates distributed as part of the Fang membership. I for one would pay a lot for a topper that would incorporate that much functionality and look good at the same time. Spooky could stay focused on building code functionality now with the intent on doing something along these lines many months from now as a way to bridge additional sales in between game creation while dipping their toes int he water on multiplayer based functionality.

while you wait for game play video

I’m almost certainly going to get whatever the factory topper will be. I really like the idea of the topper recognizing the player. That would be pretty incredible. I’d be happy with something similar to the AFMr LE topper though, that thing is incredible. Heck, the D&D 80’s game topper is incredible and considerably adds to the light show. I’m excited to see what they might come up with.

Do we know for certain there will be a factory topper?
