Only 200? For a handful of led's? Seems outrageous. How hard is it to do yourself? They aren't completely different toys are they?

Really. If it is 240 later will people really only get 5 or 6 led's with instructions on how to add them to existing toys? That seems ridiculous. If it so complicated to add these few led's then why were the toys not molded to allow for them originally?

A couple decent tracks that I like (#4 and #8). But so dang short. Maybe about 31 minutes of music in total over 12 tracks?

LE translites were already for sale at MGC. Email KT for one.

Wow, that was fast. They looked to be the exact size needed to swap out your translite on the regular edition if you prefer to have the LE artwork on it instead. I thought Spooky had previously said something along the lines that the LE translites they would sell would have the borders cut or something (so they could not be added to regular games) but the ones at MGC looked to be standard size. So that is kind of cool. Although I realize the LE's really are true backglasses and not translites.

I think they were around $70-$75? Nothing ridiculous at all so yeah, I would think they would sell each version for the same price.

No, I don't believe they were mirrored at all. The one at MGC looked awesome because the artwork is awesome. But I'm not sure the average person could tell the difference between the translite version and the true backglass version when in the game and backlit.

Cool! Did you get that set of Back Alley mods for yours? I don't think anyone has seen those actually in a game working yet have they?

Or the upgraded LED kit for that matter?

Are the toys just permanently lit or are they interactive with the game rules and modes? Can we see an entire playfield lit shot to see how the led's pop?

Unless you just have a great camera the led's do seem to pop a little more. Question, when you get a chance I am curious about the led's in the robot and radio. Can you see the wires running into these toys from behind or otherwise or are they somehow coming up from the underside of each toy? The orange led's in the bottom of the chicken bucket don't seem bright enough to be noticeable in this picture?

I am still trying to figure out why this mod was described by Spooky as complex? Drill 2 holes through Robot's eyes through back of head. Insert led's and run wire under playfield as usual for many mods no? Same with radio. If there really is something more complex that ties them into rules or modes and they are interactive then cool. Otherwise, $200? I just want to understand it better.

Nah, you need the mechanic "work" shirt!! Here:

I am thinking that these 2 set pieces in particular, if made to 10-12" scale, would look awesome if incorporated into a topper! Anyone?

Aside from the Back Alley light additions, has anyone thought of mods for this game? Any of the modders planning anything cool? Any pinblade designs created yet that could be shown?

I'd really love to see a different Captain Spaulding for the mini playfield. One where he has his arms raised and does not look so stiff. Maybe the arms even rotated higher when he spins to the open position? I also think a decal for the metal guide rail would be cool like a creepy fence running around it. Aside from that I would like to see some cool topper designs that rival the one made for AMH.

Wait, what? The standard RZ will come with a screen printed backglass and not a translite? That is not what I heard previously. Who told you this? Kayte?

Thanks for the clarification. I actually thought I overheard Kayte at MGC say the regular edition was just a translite but apparently that's not the case.

I didn't want to say it myself, lol, but I was thinking the same thing. $500 difference for the custom-cut armor and a small LE plate I guess. Maybe the LE's are coming with a shaker too? If nothing else, they get their games first I guess.

Is that really true? I actually like the regular backglass better myself and thought many others stated the same. Although I wish it did include the witch in there somewhere. To each his own, the game looks awesome regardless.

Not sure who was whining or complaining? Just comparing the 2 models and sharing opinions.

All of the games are limited. 250 is a very small number compared to Stern LE's or even more so JJP.

I was under the impression that code was almost done? If that is not true then Fawzma, can you comment on what percentage is currently done? Or for those that have their games can you comment on how many of the planned 6 song modes and 4 sub modes are currently in the game?

Okay, that's pretty much what I thought. I was confused by other's comments that the code had a "LONG" way to go because the game seemed pretty awesome to me already. Although sure, there can be a lot of tweaking as noted to balance scoring and risk versus reward, I'll agree with that much.

If anyone who already has their game can take some video of gameplay in a home setting where the sounds can be heard a lot better I would love to see it! I don't think I have seen many of the modes and sub modes yet.

Yeah, I would really like to see version 5 of the code in a home setting to boot. Would be nice! Someone with their game help us out?

Thanks Gap! Definitely the best video I have seen yet. Game looks awesome!

Question, the Robot's arms. Are they capable of moving up and down? They appear to be separate from the Robot's body (separate pieces) but they don't appear to move on their own? Why? I feel like the robot should be moving more in general (slowly, with arms moving up and down slightly.) Even Spaulding ... I wish his hands were up and he moved back and forth a bit when the ball wasn't up on the upper playfield, almost taunting the player. Still looks awesome just thinking of the small stuff.

I don't understand your formula but it's definitely on the pessimistic side. Six months to produce the next roughly 100 games? You're banking on Spooky producing just 16-17 games a month on average? I think you have to be at roughly 6-7 games a week minimal to be a viable business, no?

Now, I will admit that I'm a bit concerned how the production of Domino's game (starting late summer) will impact RZ but Spooky says it won't. I'm not sure how it can't though.

Good observation and I agree. FYI, for those with games Fawzma announced this morning V 006 of code is now available:

V006
added extra protection to servo driver routine to prevent positions going beyond limits
What! mode total score resets to zero when mode starts.
Demon Multiball changed to eject 3, you can still add a ball
SuperBeast Multiball changed to eject 2
Removed multiball settings from menu (they didn't set anything anyway)
What! skeeball game removed for the time being. Needs more stop post testing and graphics.

Silly question but, is RZSSI really going to be the official acronym of this game? Is just plain RZ already taken? I haven't seen this noted before.

How could the skill shot be made easier at this point? Just curious if you have an idea in mind. And do you have suggestions for other "code tweaks" that you think the game needs? I like hearing people's ideas and seeing them get worked into the code.

In the video mode driving the car. It feels like the first few seconds of that song with just the organ need to be trimmed? Feels like an awkward silence with just the hum of the car, organ playing, and splatting after coming from the noise packed action of the regular gameplay. I feel like the video mode would be better if the music started where the beat kicks in. Or maybe a voice over there for a few seconds from Rob describing what to do like "Mow down as many monsters as you can!!!".

In this video flip to the 53 second mark. The beat of the song really then kicks in at 1:03. I don't suppose RZ would allow trimming the opening of the song?

It just feels like a very awkward transition into the video mode (and out of for that matter.) A bit clunky. Also, I see the message "Use flippers to steer" but there is another message after that (directions I presume) that flash by way too quickly. So a call out from Rob would be really cool as I suggested above. Definitely needs a bit better song in there though IMO.

How is "retro and 8-bit sounding" fit perfectly with the rest of the game and theme? It's really the transition into the mode that seems most awkward to me. You go from adrenaline action to awkward 8-10 seconds of relative quiet and no lights.

Again. Not complaining. I love the video mode as well. It's not the mode. It's only the transition into the mode I'm referring to. Clunky IMO. Just suggesting things to polish.

A couple people have suggested this and I like it. But maybe I'm not understanding the 3 bounces here. I thought #1 was no switch at all, it just bounces off the rubber back towards the sling on the right, no? How do you account for #1 without #2?

Happy to see all suggestions and hopefully Spooky considers them all.

Ahh, okay. So #1 is the big sling on the left side of the playfield? And where is #2 and #3? Where are the players directions to know what to shoot for? I don't recall any animation on the display or flashing lights on the playfield? It's not clear to me at all. Any suggestions for making this much clearer to a player?

Just listened to Charlie's explanation on the skill shot in a vid. Left sling, right sling, either pop bumper (although even during his explanation everyone seemed surprised what it was). Got it. But that is not clear at all to a player just stepping up to the game. Could there be a call out or an animation that better explains it? Also, does it still light "extra ball" if you make the skill shot? That does seem like a pretty hefty reward for a shot that is only so much "skill" as others have noted. Not very balanced there IMO.

Hmm, which version of the software does your game have on it? Is it version 8? I'm curious if this is still a software issue in regards to blowing a fuse. Looks gorgeous though!
