Exciting update!
Hope others don’t take as long as I did to figure out how amazing P3 games are.
Definitely recommend getting in that build queue asap!!!

P3 is not for me. Scott thinks he can change my mind, but I'd like to see him try.

No, really, I want to see him try, very curious what he's got cooked up. Glad he's found a new home to be creative.

I am on the same boat. Regardless of what I think of P3, contracting with a very talented individual is smart. Now....if we can somehow get Scott and Elwin to team up...

The P3 is for me, and so is any game Scott designs for it

Ditto!

Word. Weird Al still getting daily play. It used to be Heist, which is now sitting lonely in its box

Agreed. I'm not a Weird Al superfan but the game is great - it's by far the most fun I've had with a pinball game in a long time. Heist still gets a lot of play, as does RITR, and I even went back to Lexi for a while and had fun with that. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Scott comes up with - it's a great platform for creativity.

Scott Danesi making more pinball machines is always great news.

Been waiting for this ever since I heard he was gonna be involved with Weird Al's sound design, there's no way that guy could have a P3 in the house and NOT be designing a module for it...

Still haven't had a chance to flip a P3, probably the game/platform I'm most curious about, of anything out there.

This is pretty exciting. I didn't care a whole lot for the Weird AL theme. Can't wait to see what Scott and team cook up.

Lexy is great fun; the shots are excellent, and it’s
a great shooting game. I’d probably switch out games more frequently but the gameroom is pretty cramped right now

We've figured it out, at this point you really don't need to come into every new game thread and announce you aren't a buyer.

Did the creative directors on previous P3 titles do the layouts? Look into that and you'll likely get a sense of what it means for his involvement.

Aurich , oh look, you have fans!

If you're sensitive about it there's a really easy solution that I'm a giant fan of:

(I can't screenshot ignoring my own account, though that would be funny.)

In the meantime, if you actually read the rest of my post instead of instantly raging out you'll see I was being positive towards my friend, so don't be weird.

I'm bummed to hear personally, as I would've been very interested in the next Scott design offered in traditional pinball machine, and not pinball platform, form. Smart move by P3 though, and hope it works out well for Scott and P3 owners get something great.

Alright Scott, I know you poke your head in here on Pinside every now and then....

Please tell me there's going to be a Fiero reference in this new game somewhere!!!

Later,
EV

This is a small community and we can be positive towards our friends without publicly announcing we aren't buying their game. Espeically when we don't even know what it is.

Both of us sell stuff on this site that the majority of the community will never buy. Maybe you disagree, but I think it would kind of suck if everyone who wasn't buying posted they weren't a buyer.

That said I'm excited to see what Scott can do with his new game on the P3.

Once Scott got a P3 at home I was hoping he would design/work on a game! Super pumped to hear the news. MM has had some big news recently and it keeps getting better

Great news!

Been close to pulling the trigger on a P3. Scott may push me over the edge. Weird Al came really close to what I like in a game. Just not enough to get me to sell a game to make space. Excited to see what he comes up with.

Aurich's "shot" at the P3 platform isn't really equivalent to saying he wasn't buying a specific game. In fact, just the opposite...sounds like he is hoping Scott can develop a game that would challenge his overarching opinion on P3.

From a purely technical standpoint, I have nothing against P3. IIRC, it's used in my Rick and Morty (developed by Scott, obviously). Took awhile for Gerry and Eric to dial in R&M flippers, but eventually they worked well. The ultimate judge of a pinball platform is obviously the manufacturer. Unfortunately, Spooky decided to discontinue using P3 after their experience with R&M. From where I sit, it's hard to know if that was a business or technical decision (or both).

In any event, like Aurich, I am rooting for Scott as well...R&M is one of my all-time favorite games.

Looking forward to this, especially as it's likely Bowen and Colin will be doing the rules.

There's the P3-ROC, which is a pinball controller than can be used in homebrew or commercial games of any design, like Rick and Morty or TNA etc.

Then there's the P3 multi-game platform, which is what has the big LCD screen playfield, and has P3-ROC tech inside of it, but is a whole package you can swap game modules into.

Similar names, very different ideas. Rick and Morty as designed would be impossible to do on the P3, in part because it has a subway to a scoop on the lower half of the game, and you can't put holes in the P3's LCD playfield.

It was the most innocuous comment, such a weird overreaction. Yes, I've said I don't like the P3 platform before, I don't. I'm allowed to not like it, feel free to disagree, I don't care. But no, I don't show up in every thread on the system to constantly shit on it.

Do I want to see if Scott can change my mind? Yes, yes I do. He's a creative lad who might find a way to use the platform that makes a difference to me. If you actually read my entire post instead of just the first sentence that feels pretty obvious, I dunno. Why the fuck is this even a conversation?

TNA 3.0 with side target pop-bumper module?

I think it boils down to fanboy syndrome. People rooting for a manufacturer/platform don't like others to express themselves, no matter how benign or politically correct. Your thumbs up % is 97%, which is one measure of tact and popularity

I've never actually played a P3 multi-game pinball, so I don't have an opinion. I've always liked Gerry's motivation and enthusiasm, so I'd like nothing more than for this to be the breakthrough game to purchase. Scott's R&M was my first Spooky game purchase, so it's definitely possible.

Scott Danesi....

Is AWESOME!

(ALSO LIONMAN)

Or something

If you like something and someone else says "that's not for me" the normal human being reaction is to go "cool, your loss", and move on with life. I like lots of things that I promise you aren't for plenty of Pinsiders. If I started a thread about the music I listen to it would be full of less polite remarks than "not for me"! I've seen the rap comments here before. I don't see how that's supposed to affect my day.

Seems high, I need to cultivate some more haters.

The idea of modular pinball, in and of itself, is interesting. Prices keep going up, space keeps going down, having a game you can swap is going to hold a certain appeal. Other have tried it (cough cough Heighway) but Multimorphic is the only company that has really pulled it off.

The LCD screen is just a big thing that you might like or might have other feelings about. I have played P3s, multiple times, the LCD graphics haven't appealed to me, or added anything of any value to playing pinball for me, and come with downsides (like the whole "you can't put a hole in the lower 2/3rds of the playfield" part.

I have going out to play Weird Al on my list, haven't had a chance yet. Watched gameplay video, the use of the screen hasn't changed my mind in that. But I'll judge it after trying it, not from watching YouTube. I think Drained looks really neat, but the parts I like are all the non-LCD parts.

Would love to try one. The concept is awesome, but 2/3 of the playfield being an lcd screen is tough to get past. Anyone in Arizona have one to try? I am getting Scooby Doo in the first batch of 50(#32) and you can come try it.

I went down a rabbit hole yesterday about the whole Twin Galaxy cheating scandals and watched your video about Atari Dragster. Man, you have your hands in a lot of stuff.

Because it's pinside

TNA home brew... Scott+PROC design.
TNA production... Spooky, Scott,?P3-?PROC.
Rick and Morty... Spooky, Scott,?P3-?PROC
Halloween/Ultraman ... Spooky, not Scott, not PROC
Weird Al ... Mulitmorphic team with Scott on sound effects
TBA-MM#6 ... Multimorphic team with Scott as creative director

IIRC, Scott got a P3 about the same time as he parted ways from Spooky. He's always been a supporter of the Multimorphic platform / design.
Very logical progression here. It's only logical that Scott took on more active role in Game #6.
My gut tells me that Scott probably didn't do the Module design for #6 but as a creative director he had influence on it. My money's on another TJ mechanical design. I'm not sure how TJ can one up the Weird Al design from a mechanical layout perspective.

Exciting time to be on the Multimorphic train of releases! Wonder if we'll see this game at TPF'2023.

Lot of people missed the R&M reference here. Sheesh Morty.

Exciting news, My P3 has been on order since August, still have a bit of wait before it ships later this year. Can't wait to see what Scott has designed.

I bought a P3 without having ever seen one in person. The dynamic scoops and walls at the end of the lcd really allow for a ton of variability that I didn’t expect. Additionally, the fact that the screen tracks the ball provides the capability to make dynamic shots in the same way that would need a rollover switch in a traditional pin. I’m totally sold on the platform.

I wish you luck on the Scooby Doo. I will never buy another Spooky after my Halloween. It was some of the worst build quality and engineering I have seen in a pinball.

Guess I got lucky. No issues with my Halloween. Looking forward to SD. Won’t pay for over priced Sterns anymore either. Talk about QC issues.

Floating mechs would do it...just sayin'

Good point. TNA and Rick and Morty both had an unusual pop bumper lower down on the playfield. Maybe we'll see the floating pop bumper from that promotional concept video from way back when where they showed how they could have stuff hanging over the lower 2/3rds in future games. Maybe this'll be Sonic or another Sega IP. Super Monkey Ball or Yakuza, I guess.

I finally got some time on a P3 at a friends house .I really ,really enjoyed it and am looking forward to grabbing one someday .Scott seems a perfect fit for Multimorphic so good luck to them both and we will be following for sure .

I mean Heist did this with the crane.

We might see the floating pop bumper finally
Edit: just saw the post above. What he said!

Keep an eye on The Pinball Network podcast feed for Pinball Party #18 ...you may be hearing from Scott soon

Scott didn’t part ways with Spooky. He was never a Spooky employee. They do still work together on projects like the recent run of TNA CEs.

Scott did design the module. He’s doing the music and sound effects too. TJ on mechs.

I hope Stephen Silver is doing the 2nd module released this year. Not sure how he could too Weird Al, but I said that with Heist too. I’m more excited for these two games than anything else coming out.

Scott also composed the music for Silver Falls, which is a downloadable game for the Heist module. His work on and around the P3 has been exemplary so far, and I can attest to what a joy it is to work with him on a project, and what a great passion he has for making great things - music, sound effects, game design - he puts in his all.

I'm extremely excited to see what Scott's creative vision will bring to a new module, and can't wait to see it and play it!

I can't wait to see the Danesimorphic collaboration! I'm an Early Adopter of the P3 and have loved (and own) both of Scott's games.

If there has been one area for improvement in Scott's designs, it's been with the geometry. That makes the collab with MM a perfect union. Whoever has designed the last 3 playfields deserves WAY more credit. The flow on Al, Heist, and especially CCR is amazing! I don't know if these were all Steven, but these layouts are SO underrated.

Leave it to a bunch of engineers to create games with some of the smoothest flow in the entire industry.

I'm so excited to see what's coming. My P3 is set to arrive in the next few weeks. With continued full featured games like Heist and Weird Al, and whatever is coming next from Scott Danesi (hopefully a known theme), I think multimorphic will continue to set itself apart from the competition and draw new talent to their team. I'm all in!

I can understand how that was interpreted but that was not my intent.
It's pretty well known that Scott is PBL's minion... so I knew he wasn't a Spooky employee.
My intent was to show that Spooky decided for whatever reason, to drop Scott as a contractor/person on the team. One could argue that they probably made an error because; IMHO, Scott was their best asset. A loss for Spooky, a gain for Multimorphic.

I expect great things from Scott and Multimorphic; hope to see the Game #6 in the near future.

Seems like insider knowledge stated as fact. Not sure I have a lot of faith on random dudes on the internet implying facts.
