Other than the girl singing "Go, go, go, go" (reminding me of Evanescence for some reason) getting annoying relatively quickly, this game is freaking awesome. Congrats Scott. What an awesome layout. That pop bumper is so strong and what a unique placement. The reactor building light show is so cool. Drool.

March 26 the orders begin...

Fat fingered ! Fixing

Go poke a hornets nest. You are now just being a jerk.

His name is Robert Paulson.

greenhornet is an attention whore. Stop responding to him and he'll get bored / leave.

stolen

Give proper credit.

greenhornet... wow. Nothing you can say, dude. You got ...exterminated.
Leave this chat with your hornet between your legs. It is all you can do at this point to save anything.

Haha. I wish double thumbs down was an option.

Sounds like somebody needs to call the waaaaaambulance.

I was going to go with "attention whore" but maybe we can all play a little Hangman in this thread.

In that video, why is the first page it spelled "Wecome!" ? (00:13)

So quality and craftsmanship is not there.

16 of 400+ is less than 4%. 4% trying to walk away by selling their spots, considering some of the names he gave, is actually a very good thing and shows the success of this title. Back in greenhornet's face it appears.

hahhahahaha
sorry...
hahahahaha
Experienced software developers at Stern? How many games can I count that are still missing code or are not even at the v1.0 level? Stern and software are like oil and vinegar, move on you troll.

Blah blah
Nothing to see above folks
Just green hornet blabbering again or what I call diarrhea of the mouth

.

Cmon gryszz we talked about that many times, good to see you caught up

Yes the castle and even skeletor seem like the reference point for the artist. I grew up on he-man so maybe that is why the draw is so strong

Spooky doesn't owe us anything as far as numbers. They've been great with communication and answering questions, but to ask for specific numbers every week.... what are you, their accountant? We get it, you want your game. But other things come first. Mainly 1) TNA and 2) quality. If you got your Alice and it had a flurry of issues you'd be asking why they rushed it!!!

Hi greenhornet!

that ghost screaming got annoying quick! Nice vid thank you for capturing, can’t wait to play at pincinnati

Charlie recently made comments the production of ACNC would really get going by February (8 weeks or so) once the TNA's are done.

Surprised no one has got really ansy and sold their spot.

Hi greenhornet.

Hi greenhornet

I agree Charlie is very observant. I caused some sort of ball lock to occur at Pincinnati, and Charlie was quick to record it on his phone to take back to development.

This is where the problem lies. ALL OF US are the problem guys

who is attack7777 and what is your point / take?

Then what is the point of your post other than to incite? Give your opinions of the feed and your thoughts? Why is the biggest takeaway a random comment from someone you don’t know? What’s your point?

I’m chill , I would just like to know why you can’t voice your own opinion and the best you could think of was to snapshot a attack7777 post whom you don’t even know. Like what’s your point dude?

Then you have explained everything we need to know. Cool job dude.

Frank, these posts from you are not helpful and are frankly very childish. I wish you would bring more to pinside than this.

What does be a pro even mean? If it means bringing something to this thread (is opposite of you) then I agree. Games being in customer hands has absolutely nothing to do with your attack7777 post earlier. Still asking what you meant by posting that attack7777 screen shot earlier but I have to chill? Ha!

If you aren’t trolling then explain what you were going for with the attack7777 random picture? At least say something not just screenshot in bs

Ice... Charlie explained to me at pincinnati that the license was they had 18 months to get them out. But who knows when the timer began

Ball 5. That rough?

Pm sent

1) Can someone explain what the Monster Mirrors vs Interior Cabinet decals are? Picture?

2) Can someone show the standard powdercoat vs scary blue?

I tried finding in this thread, striking out.

Thanks to Magic, this might take a while. 700 photos!

Butter / no-butter would be helpful when mentioning numbers as it sounds like butters are done together.

My reasoning:
Have to have time to setup & convert workers over to working on the new machine.

Have machines going out of the states potentially (combine them with any TNAs also going on a ship).

Machines being made for past customers first maybe? Keep the past owners happy.

Machines for shows and distributors (show season is coming). Often someone will take ownership of the game after a show.

I am sure by the end of this month they will be starting on the first 50 in line.

May be done with first 100 in the series by end of May?

Email Kayte for the latest, but I was given this:

1) Nightmare Castle Game $6,450

2) Knocker/Shaker Kits
(Install ONLY!) PURCHASE KITS FROM
PINBALL LIFE: $25

3) Interior Cabinet Decals $65

4) Butter Edition Cabinet $999

5) Pc. Plastic Protector Set $35

6) Interactive RGB Speaker Kit $95

7) Monster Mirrors & Installation $95

8 ) Bill Acceptor Door Upgrade $35

9) Coin Box & Lid $25

10) Scary Blue Powder Coat $125

Honestly, the options list should be directly on the Spooky webpage with pictures of each option, updated when necessary. Shouldn't be hard for customers to find this information and potential mis-information is avoided!

I ordered my shaker/knocker from pinballlife this week and sent to Benton because I was not made aware of this new option. Would have saved me $20 total ($15 shipping). Grrr, I'm annoyed.

I'm just stating where I feel Spooky can improve in the future. Having to go to pinside to know options is not good control of your brand. Spooky should have the pdf of options available directly on the website, easy for the customers to find. The pdf should have pictures of options like the interior cabinet decals. This will also benefit Kayte from having to answer back and forth emails about options and what each one looks like etc. Win for the customer, win for Spooky (control of information, easily updatable, decreases Kayte's work -- she can just state "go here on the website"). Just a helpful suggestion from a customer perspective!

Do you have #24 and #28 ? You mentioned 28 above.

Thanks for your updates! Shooter wise are you having fun or is it a bit frustrating?

You have to remember that those with the low numbers have waited much longer than you

My bad. I didn’t realize they sold 300+ in 7 days

I think tna quantity was not expected to be so high and that really derailed the summer 2018 plans. I’m just pumped tna is officially put to bed and now it is all alice

Speaking to Charlie at pincinnati, unless I heard wrong, the 18 months was how long they had the license

I like how Charlie said that every number was important. The last thing I think we all would want is for spooky to feel this pressure, they start pushing machines out too fast, and quality slips. All is good now, alice machines are being built and no tna to slow them down. I also like that the code is gonna be nearly complete by time Bowen presents it next month. Exciting times!!

I am lead to believe so. The description on the Spooky order form is:

"Interactive RGB Speaker Kit
(LIGHTS INTERACT WITH GAME PLAY) $95"

I keep going back and forth. The blue looks better to my eyes, but is it $125 better? That’s a tough decision.

If money wasn’t a concern then blue all the way. This thing costs a lot of money so yeah another charge makes it worse. I just have to think should I put the 125 towards pinstadiums or something instead / better use of money vs always wishing I had gone blue

I think I explained it..all the extras add up. $125 in my mind might be better spent elsewhere. Everyone has a budget but you? I'll already be paying and arm & a leg for the machine. Just my thought process.

Frankmac I’m all for this, what do ya say?

Wow haha. Thanks for the offer but I was just joking around / messing with you so I won’t take it. You are a good man for offering!! Appreciate it though.

You are making it tough to try not to like you. I kid. Hey thanks a bunch, that is so cool. I was thinking the other day that I should probably purchase a heart for the year with as often as I use this site. Thanks for it!!!

Why the obsession with a unboxing video? What does it aid?

Ghost cut-out/edging should be a thing on all future hinges! Nice touch, saying its a Spooky!

TNA exploded and they had to make over 500 of those games. Technically they are on month 10 (June 2018-March 2019) of an 18 month project to build ACNC. I can see if you were maybe number 275 then month 10 would be your timeframe if everything came out equally each month.

I feel for spooky. It’s hard being boutique sized and trying to get quality games out quickly while also keeping the business sustainable. The happy thing now is that the shop is all ACNC everyday. Yours is coming!

No sweat. I was not aware of all those changes. I do feel for those that put a grand down and are waiting a year later. But at least we’ll be getting spookys best attempt at the game?

Same. Been watching development over past one year, played at pincinnati and loved it, then swooped in when someone wanted to sell their spot. I believe ice’s spot will sell. There just currently isn’t an enthusiastic buyer wanting to put money down on a number that might not have delivery until mid summer. As spooky gets over the 100+ threshold it will sell. Or if someone at an upcoming show loves it they will buy the spot.

Wow nice, and you went with the scary blue armor ! Question: do you notice speaker light kit change color or always green?

A couple weeks sounds off. I'm 59 and not a word yet but I haven't bothered them with a call and don't want to They're busy enough as it is and won't get me further up the line.

Ice, whats the point of adding negativity to this thread? I’m sure you can find another thread about another machine to get excited/positive about

I posted because 79 was told a few weeks and that doesn’t sound correct if 54 and 59 have not been given the 2 weeks heads up yet

Questions:
1) How are Spooky's balls? I'm trying not to laugh. But I hear all the time folks won't use Stern's supplied pinballs. Spooky is providing decent carbon pinballs (due to magnet) for this machine or I should use from elsewhere?

2) Do you ever put wax on before first ball or just play?

3) Anyone immediately putting down mylar in spots like shooter lane or scoop? Thinking that would require wax so mylar easily removed in future.

Your tips are appreciated. I've never had NIB before and want to do it right. Thanks!

In your case where did you go from / to ?

A podcast with a "hot take" is just as good as "breaking news" from the media. Usually wrong and worth little.

Hmm I’m 59 and was told a few weeks ago that I couldn’t change my options when I attempted to do just that and that I would be on the line soon. No call, yet.
