Halloween (Standard Edition)
Spooky Pinball, 2021My Labor day weekend has started, Cheers pinheads!Thanks to all with the early clips .This game is going to be intense from what I’m seeing .For those who have been playing can you explain how the sounds of thunder/lightning ,slashing, callouts ,music etc are in your home environment ?
Hope they tweak the topper - looks very odd when the H and N don’t light up. The LED strip must be shorter than the lettering!
Good eye! The newer Spooky LCDs look to be angled properly from the players perspective. Im sure Doug will chime in 
Quoted from mpdpvdpin:By adding or adjusting the position of the existing leds
Gotcha. Just needs to be spread out another few inches on each side.
I bet even adding a bit of reflective material would expand the range of the led outward to cover the H and N. Also…sometimes lighting looks odd on camera. Maybe it does light up the whole marquee in person. Cameras compensate for light or the lack there of in odd ways (ie: the light strips everyone was complying about until they saw them in person)

I like the reflective idea - could work well and be an easy tweak. I noticed the same light spread when it was at the horror convention in Chicago a few weeks back so it looks like that is how it was designed. Not a big deal, but if they are looking for feedback - that’s my 2c on the topper.
So is there anywhere to order one of these still in the US? See in Canada you can still order the CE but I was hoping for a standard just cause my wife is gonna kill me if I buy this. Nitro only ships to CA correct? Im in FL. Seems all US distros are out.

Pretty sure all games are drop shipped so they’re all coming from Spooky.

I ordered from Nitro and the game is shipping directly from Spooky so your good to order with them. They also ship to the USA. I bought my EHOH topper from them. Shipping is a bit more though.

Angle is the same. I adjusted the brightness and contrast (like I did on R&M)…and it seems great to me. I think the viewing angles are better, but I’ll check that tonight. All said, I’m sure that some will want the inkyest blacks and want a different lcd…just like those who add a sub or change the speakers because they are audiophiles. There is no right or wrong answer…just all your preference.

I can’t say if anything will change, but I can say “Spooky is listening”. I’m sure all will be good.

It may also be worth checking with Kingpin games. He had a few spots available a couple weeks or so ago, though they were likely also for CE's.
Thanks guys, I bit the bullet and put in my preorder for a CE. With the number I got they said it will be possibly a year at the rate they are producing, but gives me time to prepare home space for it! Excited!

Awesome!! When it arrives just tell your wife they must have sent you a CE by mistake!
Quoted from dnapac:Here’s the first video of the new code. This is a MASSIVE update. It will take time for us to figure everything out. We are very mediocre players 8). In this video Andi (my wife) is trying to show as many Pumpkin Modes as possible. I think she gets through 3. New animations, new call outs, new light shows, and adjusted sound effects. Some have asked about the high pitched noise when you hit the scoop. It’s still used, but other sounds as well…so it waters it down nicely. Plus, the whole point of horror music is to create an atmosphere of discomfort and tension…so irritating noises are the norm…but Spooky does a good job controlling it…IMO. Oh, I repointed my pumpkin head, but it keeps slowly turning…I think it’s possessed!
Thank you for sharing this. Man the music is amazing now. Those sound clips are so dang intense. I'm so glad I dont have too wait too long #159. So hoping before Halloween. This is really coming together beautifully. If they was able to stream this code on the dead flip stream reveal. There would be no one saying ultraman is a better game. Bc obviously its NOT.
Hey guys just wanted to jump in and say we cleared 30 games to go out the door this week. Many of them already boxed. On a daily production schedual now so you will see games going out every week from here on out! Appreciate all the kind words and feedback. This has truly been a dream come true for all of us.

Hopefully we see it before Halloween. I'm #72 and they haven't contacted me yet. They said they would contact when they are around 3 weeks out from your build.

Hooray! Thanks for the update!
Build has been our most solid early group of games ever so far. Hoping to keep good quality rolling. Lots of training done the last couple months. Excited to be finishing games every day now. Tons of code work being piled in as well.

Hi Luke, great man. Do you know at what time you are planning to ship some of your pins overseas (Europe)?

I know RS pinball has a couple coming!

I bet you are contacted this weekend or next as luke just stated they are on a daily production schedule now. My guess is around 20 HWN a week and 10 UTM. So with me being 159 about 5-6 weeks but you about 2-3
Quoted from thundergod76:Awesome!! When it arrives just tell your wife they must have sent you a CE by mistake!
Ah yes, the foundation of every successful marriage.
Lies.

How many do you anticipate shipping each week?
Quoted from Hayfarmer:How many do you anticipate shipping each week?
More than once they've said 20 - 40 per week. Avg is 30/wk. Ratio is 2.5 HWN to every UM.
Quoted from Morinack:More than once they've said 20 - 40 per week. Avg is 30/wk. Ratio is 2.5 HWN to every UM.
I know what they've said, looking for conformation is all. And wondering if they have ramped up yet.
Quoted from Hayfarmer:I know what they've said, looking for conformation is all. And wondering if they have ramped up yet.
Looking to start 5 per day this week. We work four 10 hour days. At the beginning we always have some days where we miss the mark. As we go we will increase to 6 then 7 then 8 then 9 etc. It's never an exact science.
Quoted from SpookyLuke:We work four 10 hour days
I already wanted to work for you guys. Now I want it more. Sigh. We tried to get our employer to do that years ago, got within razor thin margins of it.....didn't get it.

Great to hear this. Thx

what number did you end up with?
Quoted from Dan1733:Go to play a few games today.
Fun and fast. Got a few more center ramp rejects than I wanted.

What happened to the pumpkin by the scoop??
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:What happened to the pumpkin by the scoop??
It's there, don't know why you can't see it.
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:What happened to the pumpkin by the scoop??
Pumpkin maybe needs a little loc tite? Didn't affect the game. Every game I saw was turned on and looking good.
Hats off to I/O in Madison. Fantastic selection of probably 20 pins, plus (maybe?) the first (or only?) Halloween on location. And most important easy parking. Makes me want to move to Madison. 
I really hope Spooky fixes the H and N on the topper not really being lit. Since another member pointed it out it bugs me whenever I look at it.
Quoted from thundergod76:I really hope Spooky fixes the H and N on the topper not really being lit. Since another member pointed it out it bugs me whenever I look at it.
Agreed. Great topper, but man it does look off that it only says ALLOWEE when it’s lit up in a dark room.
Hope they fix this by using a longer LED strip or something.

Oh man. Why did you bring this up? Now its bugging me! haha
Jeez guys, this is the easiest fix in the book. Ya’ll sound like your about to throw the baby out with the bathwater over it haha.

Supposed to be #716
Quoted from PanzerKraken:Supposed to be #716
Which distributor did you go with
We’ve been playing this more. Just an incredible game. We’ll try get more video and explanations tomorrow. The sound effects are really awesome. And even though some of the noises are a bit grating (heck, that’s a horror movie), they are vital in a multiball to know when a ball is coming up one of those risers to the flippers. You need a distinct sound to get your ears to hear the warning above the craziness of the multiball.
