Quoted from SpookyLuke:Couple order velocity filters tripped. On phone with company. Fixing now should be up any second
Hey, remember to warn them before Evil Dead goes on sale in 2023.
Quoted from brerspidur:Mine was 11305, I haven't seen a lower one yet. ..
I would have been close to that. My first submit payment attempt threw a SQL error and the second gave my the shipping method error. The third went through after I checked the copy the billing/shipping checkbox at 9:06am - 11347.
Quoted from spooky_dj:I am personally a huge proponent of this. Although, there are a few hindrances. The chance of this happening with a licensed title is nearly 0%. License holders don't want to risk their assets being copied, and we do not want to be held accountable for those assets being copied. Yeah I know technically there are ways to rip assets anyway if you're tech savvy, and we could probably open source certain areas, while still keeping assets locked down/encrypted, but this is from a more legal, non-tech-savvy perspective. Then beyond that, there is the safety liability aspect. If we allow people to freely adjust their coil strength, and they end up setting a coil on fire and burning their house down, or worse, injuring somebody in the process, we would definitely take some blame for that. Even if we made every customer sign a waiver, it may not completely absolve us of blame. And I know I speak for everyone at spooky when I say the absolute last thing we want is to have one of our machines end up injuring somebody.
Now, with all that being said, I'll reiterate that I'm very much a proponent to opening up what we can, and hopefully in the future y'all will get to see some more customizable, mod-friendly things coming from Spooky. At the very least, I'm hoping we can open up the hardware a bit, to make maintaining your Spooky machines easier/cheaper than ever before. We have a lot of repercussions to consider though. But I will be a bug in the bossman's ear to push things in this direction
This would be great, but I think we understand you have higher priorities right now. It might be a good thing that your code isn't open source already because I'd spend way too much time on that vs. playing.
Ultimately if/when the code for a licensed game is open source, and you could figure out a way to keep the assets locked down, I think you would get a lot of creative ideas (and free bug fixes) that could be rolled into the official code. I'm already thinking of stuff that could be done in Halloween like a “stab” mode where flipper hold time is reduced (rip-off of Mandalorian impossible mode) or an “injury” mode that would dynamically reduce flipper power if you miss shots.
Quoted from Zablon:also, just the fact that you have to lock down assets would severely hinder what people could do. I really hate how IP and copyright is implemented. It's draconian and why so few give a shit about it.
Maybe make it so the official assets are encrypted, but allow the option to replace them with non-encrypted "user-created" versions? That might get around the legal part of it for things like custom call outs and music that were done specifically for the game.
Quoted from mpdpvdpin:EVIL DEAD 2 is my favorite BUT the there is wild potential for a strictly Army of Darkness pin. Lots of variety too…involves the cabin, medieval setting and the S Mart. The callouts…the villians (pit monster, evil Ash, mini ashes, SHE BITCH!) the BOOMSTICK! Would be f’n incredible!
Ash vs. Evil Dead for even more good stuff.
Quoted from benheck:Futurama would make an amazing pin!
"If we can hit that bullseye the dominos will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!"
Zapp Brannigan on the callouts would be great: "You win again gravity!"
Quoted from benheck:Haha I wish. Yeah all the modes are in place but there's still a lot of work left to do!
One of these decades I'll make Bible Adventures. And I'll do it right not whatever the hell Robert would have shat out
If you ever make Futurama it needs to have a Slurm Queen mech.

Can't forget about Wireless Joe Jackson and PitchOMat 5000, who was a modified howitzer.
