Quoted from SpookyLuke:But wait what if this game has 2 themes? Other theme could be dropped any time I bet...

As you were Pinside... nothing to see here. Carry on.

LUKE... need to see you in my office buddy!

When you work a 14 hour day and worked the shortest hours of the design team, yeah... call me lucky to be here helping them. I crashed out at 11 pm. Bug was texting me for things they still needed at 12:30 a.m. On a Thursday?! Yeah, pinball is in fact hard. The last few months have been intense to say the least.
So damn proud of this team... they took it upon themselves to elevate everything we do, and made it happen. All the crazy long weeks and hours really paid off big. The quality of EVERYTHING shows. More improvements in every area than ever before.
Soon you will see why I am so lucky to be here working for them on this game. VERY soon. No small detail was left untouched. It shows.
Stay Spooky!!! Our best isn't coming, it's here.
Quoted from benheck:hope Spooky makes a MEAT LOAF pin next!
You took the words right outta my mouth.
Quoted from benheck:It must have been while you were kissing me!
STOP RIGHT THERE!
Quoted from DeadFlip:Hold up, if it's ACTUALLY Meatloaf, I'm gonna need this game IMMEDIATELY!
I promise you this... somewhere right now, there is in fact... the Loaf. Lurking. Quiet. Subtle.
I say no more, I say no less.
Might be some actual news goodness coming out shortly... all you wanna know? Nope... good stuff? Absolutely!
We promise... the wait won't be long to know what is fully happening.
But the Loaf, already happened, and long overdue... Ben Heck would never forgive me if there was no Loaf. Where? Who? What?!
Maybe there will be a prize to the finder of the Loaf. Hahahaaa!!!
Quoted from benheck:William Shatner is gonna stab me!
That joke hit its legal limit 47 pages ago Heck!
Quoted from hollyw00d:did Jason do the playfield art
He did all the art in the game. Jason is incredible, and wait until you see the rest!
Quoted from PinBalt:Is this talk of two themes still likely to occur before any games sales???
I confirm or deny nothing... except this, Spooky is was and always will be fair about such a thing if it happened, which I am not saying is.. or isn't?
Ain't no doubt about it...
Quoted from Betelgeuse:I have a Jason Voorhees one. He's displayed year round!
You mean we're supposed to take that stuff down???
Man, this house is gonna be empty until October!
Quoted from lpeters82:My wife thought you just went all out for Halloween
We do. We just start decorating for it on November 1st.
Quoted from slghokie:Rocky Horror confirmed?
I don't like that movie. Never even seen it.
Besides, I like to build up the antici.......................................................
pation.
Lol... thanks everyone! Ya'll keep speculating. I'll tell ya this, if there was something to say and not saying there is or isn't, I would be a fan of Rocky Horror or the Loaf. Not saying there is something to talk about, but probably not either of those if there was, which there might be. Or not.
Trust me. I would do anything... for pinball.
Back to work! Thanks for the fun today.
Quoted from kciaccio:I wonder to. I bought a Fang Club Membership a couple months ago and nothing to say I am in the club officially
If you bought in and didn't get a kit in the mail, you need to email: [email protected] and double check.
We have some extra office help now and kits are shipping as fast as possible. I know last week, we got buried with new memberships so they may be a bit behind at the moment.
Membership is at an all time high, so can't thank everyone enough for supporting it all! Hope you enjoyed the goodies, and next year let's hope that we can include more toys and less safety products.
Quoted from benheck:I told them to just put knives EVERYWHERE
Let me check a random artsy photo on my phone and see if any knives show up... gees, I probably should not be on Pinside thinking out loud while I do this.
As long as I keep my thumb away from send its no big... slip, uh oh.

Dude... like just... DUDE... That ain't vinyl, thats GOLD!
Quoted from mrclean:What time frame will title #2 be released ? before HALLOWEEN go on sale ?
If there is a 2nd game (hehehee) ... today!
Quoted from SLCpunk2113:I can’t get that second video link in the email to work. Anyone
It's not publicly active yet. You got insider info early!
Quoted from Frax:I'm not interested in pissing 45 dollars into a fire just to SEE the thing
You will see it prior to sales... free of charge.
Quoted from razorsedge:Is there a different backglass for 'no topper' model.... you know so as not to do a stern turtles gaff?
Games with topper, the logo moves up top. Games with no topper, logo is on the glass.
Quoted from Ramrod215:Are the ultraman and Halloween concurrent or does ultraman follow the Halloween build?
Same exact time.
Quoted from MK6PIN:Website definitely down, lol…..can only imagine what Wednesday is going to be like….
Working on it right now.
Quoted from finnflash:Will there be photos of each model before sales are open?
Yes! Doing our best to keep up. We made CE's to show off first.
Quoted from mpdpvdpin:Not to be rude but I’m not sure how much I trust Bug as rule-meister.
Ya'll know we have Bowen here right? He'll be consulting.
Quoted from Cantabkiwi:Should I wake RotorDave up, its 5.30am to order?!?!
HARD YES!!!
Quoted from spooky_dj:Does this help?
Spooky DJ is our new in house electronics engineer and programmer, just FYI... say hey to him everyone! He just moved to Benton to join us a few months ago.
Quoted from Twister:Yes, Led stripes looks a bit cheap, when you can see it directly.
I think with a diffussor like this it could look better
They are full directly addressable RGB's... not LED strips. They are capable of some crazy fun light shows!
From a players perspective, they are diffused. It's hard to shoot video from a lower angle and show that.
Quoted from yancy:But what if I'm a nitpicky bastard?!?
You are... we've met. But I like you anyway.
Quoted from PaulCoff:SpookyCharlie …if we purchase UM, could we load the Halloween code on it during a “dark and rainy day”to see how things work if the playfield is an identical re-skin? Thanks for any input.
In theory, yes! Lol... but I ... oh hell maybe I would for fun once!
Quoted from Cheeks:But Chuck saying he'd probably try it sounds very different from you're SOL if it fries your game
I have access to parts quickly and do dumb things weekly... I would NOT try this if was anyone but me. If you fry your game you're SOL.
Carry on.
As if getting to work with a dream theme, going to Japan, having others embrace our quirky love of all things crazy campy kaiju wasn't enough... how about artist Matt Fank landing a Marvel cover with our backglass???!!! So happy... so proud of everyone who helped us make this all happen.
Marvel Ultraman Pinball Cover.June 2021 (resized).jpgQuoted from JSC:The top left metal bridge seems like a lost opportunity…wonder why no art whatsoever.
It may... we've talked about that too.
Quoted from Cheeks:Does anyone know what's behind the drop on the lower Upper?
Lighted controlled drop target blocking a scoop.
If ya'll saw what was happening here today, you would probably jump in and get to work! Controlled chaos. We have 3 people on the phones at all times.
Halloween is drawing in the horror crowd BEYOND pinball fans. Ultraman is bringing in that culture fan base as well.
See you in the morning. Back to work here. We are getting photos and the website ready for the variant versions of the game now. Thursday, we sleep again! Lol.
Quoted from lpeters82:Lyman is great. I don't think there is an argument there.
Not from me there isn't! I've played against him... if you can me watching him beat me like an old wool rug "playing against him". His rule sets are also some of my absolute favorites! We hope to be at that level soon.
Quoted from play_pinball:Why am I only seeing Canada and International Fang Club memberships listed in the shop?
Being corrected right now... lets just say Squirrel set a stock alert thing on the webstore she never expected to hit.
We hit it.
It's back now!
Tomorrow... is going to be interesting.
Quoted from BWT67:I don’t want to lose to some horror con chumps
You... know I'm one of those guys too right? Lol. We do as many horror cons as pinball shows, both are a blast!
They are saying the same thing about pinball fanatics buying them all... "the REAL Halloween fans won't be able to get a game!".
Personally, I dig the people who are both. We should call this something scary... Scary Pinball? Eerie Pinball? ... oh! SPOOKY Pinball!
Yeah, that works.
Quoted from pballjunkie:Hey Charlie do you have a contingency for people who want to buy one of each and if so and they are a member the fang club, how does that work?
You can put 1 of each title in your cart. So yes, you could potential buy 1 Ultraman and 1 Halloween at launch. Last go-round it was 2 but we are trying to be as fair as possible.
Quoted from BWT67:Lol but you’re not “those” chumps! You know the other horror con guys. Pure Instagram.
Well when your avatar is from The Burning, you're good in my book!
