Its also seemingly sparse on inserts. More inserts with more keylining / text to go with it I think would help a lot IMHO. Or at least scoot them down ? I dunno, not an artist.

At any rate, not a theme for me so don't want to be too negative as it was never going to be my thing.

It's tough cause there are a lot of parallels here to how AMH looked somewhat unprofessional. They seemed to acknowledge it but looking at this, it's like they really didnt take those criticisms seriously.. Or thought getting a really good artist to do the playfield backdrop was going to fix all that.

As we've seen with Aurich and other professionals tearing apart TH in detail and other stuff, theres a lot more to it than that.

I'm hoping to own a Spooky product if they do a theme I like, but probably would still wait till they are doing the fit and finish as polished as it should be.

Aside: In a a perfect imaginary boutique pinball world.. DP and Spooky would be one.. DP with the 'Williams' fit and finish and Spooky with knowing how to stay communicative and be a company you have alot of confidence in.

Aside 2: This is also kind of like Multimorphic's problem. I think they are too 'engineer' oriented over there and have let the art lag.. And are wondering why people aren't excited. Sex sells.

Right, the ship has sailed on this one. But as they grow and want to sell a lot more games where the number exceeds people that are die hard fans of whatever the theme is and those the buy it cause its rare or out of boutique charity 'for the love of pinball'.. They will have to get serious about it.
