I am hoping that Spooky continues to make the themes no current company would ever make. I expect adult & corky themes from these guys. Excited about the next one. I am disappointed in Rob Zombie as the theme and coding could have set it up for greatness, but the layout lacks........Either way Spooky, Charlie and the team all rock!
I love Alice Cooper and really want to buy this game and support Spooky, but after watching the video, I am concerned about flow. There appears to be a lot of stop and go?? Could anyone who played it provide some feedback on this. I personally like fast, furious, brutal games........like TNA. The video of ACNC reminded me of Simpson’s Pinball Party game play, a game in which I hated.
Quoted from Damonator:You are concerned about flow, yet you like TNA? I wouldn’t consider TNA a flow game at all - only an orbit shot when the reactor is not ready.
You clearly did not read that sentence properly.......Go back and reread the TNA quote. There is nothing about flow. Games need to either have flow or be brutal and fast, this is what I like, if a game has both like Iron Man, then you have gold. Alice looked to have neither.
Quoted from SpookyCharlie:Been quite the day to say the least. By far the biggest sales day here ever!
Thanks everyone for the patience and support of Spooky Pinball.
Thanks for posting the Facebook game play video Charlie!! I thought it was better than the prior videos posted and it definitely eased my concerns with flow! I cannot wait to hear how many games you guys sold today!! The count is what keeps me coming back to the TNA thread! Go Spooky!!
Quoted from adborto:Including distributors? 300? I could be way off. Spooky’s video has over 5,100 views on Facebook and hasn’t even been up for a day. This game sits in the sweet spot of offering a good value with a lot of features in it.
Shoot! I wasn’t thinking about the fact the distributors are probably locking down an allocation beyond their orders. That would be awesome if it was 300!
Charlie, Will you give us a heads up when there are 50-75 games left? It would be tragic in my eyes, if people have to order this game before they have a chance to play it. Heck, it looks like Alice Cooper will sell out before a real game leaves the assembly line. Any chance there will be a game at Pintastic New England? Congrats on the success!
Quoted from SpookyCharlie:Update:
We will ship some ACNC games in June.
We will ship all 500 ACNC games in 18 months.
We will continue to sell and produce TnA at the same time. (3rd time we've had 2 games on the line together)
Bryan Kelly (who uses his real name every day) does not own Pinball Life. I was there yesterday.
We got all new print gear, a warehouse we built and paid for last fall, and a bigger shop than ours across the road to assist / expand as much as we need that will be done in few weeks. Here's a photo out our front door of said facility for fun...
Nothing has changed folks... except we have new employees helping us grow and our summer help is back.
Speculate all you want. We make games, not drama. Hope it always stays that way.
Charlie for President!!! How can anyone not like this guy??
Quoted from frankmac:The last video with dead_flip was tough for me as a lot of shots seem to still hit the posts a lot. I know people will say play better but it looked like a lot of bricked shots at times. Maybe if the shots were a bit wider or some of the post were stand up targets or drop targets it would be a better situation.
Artwork : 100%
Music-callouts- love it
Maybe there are some changes being made never know. In the meantime TNA is a blast!
I have to agree with this and I totally understand why people are selling. I am a huge Alice Cooper fan and I wanted to buy this pin so badly, but the more video I watched, the more I realize, I cannot pull the trigger on this game. In my opinion, this layout has no flow and has many amateur mistakes. Visually this pin is an absolute winner, but like the prior two layouts from Spooky, I just don’t see the fun or flow. One of my biggest issues with ACNC is that similar to RZ, this game utilizes an awkward mini playfield??? In general miniplayfield are the most difficult thing to pull off in pinball........more times than not, they destroy a game. Why is Spooky so focused on them?? My only thought is inexperienced designer. In addition, I think think this pin lacks excitement. I am an Alice Cooper fan because I like to rock! This pin and it’s call outs have me falling asleep. I hate to be negative as I know a lot of hard work went into making this game, but for me this is another theme I love, that Spooky ruined for me. I really hope that I get to play it soon and I am proven 1000% wrong! I will be the first to come on here and apologize. I still love Spooky and all that they stand for and it’s obvious they are improving with every game. I cannot wait until the day when I can support their cause.
