Super Awesome Pinball Show doing a big reveal at noon!

From their Facebook page: "BIG reveal coming at noon today! Will likely be what everyone talks about for the rest of the year! Stand by..."

LOL. Just their Episode 2. They had me!

LOL. I was just being funny. Although, part of me thought they make actually announce something for another company....or a topper. Nope, episode 2.

I like the Pro art the most! Not a huge fan of all the inserts but the layout looks fun. I can't wait to play it. The price is a little annoying but I guess that's modern pinball.

I played this game on location this weekend. To be honest I was in the middle at first. I had a few quick games and wasn't into it. Then I long playing 650 million game and really enjoyed it. I got to see a lot of the video and call outs. I'm a fan.

I must be lucky. I hit the demogorgon shot on my first try in my first game. I hit it on all subsequent games at around 5 shots. My wife is a new player and she was hitting it within a few shots frequently. However; I heard a rumor at Helicon that they made some adjustments to the ramp

Just a note on the code. I'm in no way versed on how pinball companies develop their software. However; I know a few things about software development. A lot of companies strive for their first release to be an MVP (Minimal Viable Product) delivery. If the develop in an Agile methodology this process allows them to deliver a workable solution and allow the stakeholders to help define the next release. This works a lot better than having a bunch of engineers and designers sitting in a conference room trying to capture everything they think the customer will need in the first release. Instead, you deliver a workable solution and let the stakeholders (customers) define where you go next. Again, I have no idea how pinball companies deliver software but I like that they delivered the first release in an MVP fashion. This allows the player to drive requirements for the next release.

Well, I'm talking purely code and not layout. I agree 100% on the manufactured play fields and design. Again, I'm not in the pinball business so i don't know their strategy. But delivering a base set of code and driving the changes with the customer is a common practice in software engineering.

Interesting point on the OT. I could see that in a small development shop. The MVP solution works well with a small team of engineers as it's easier to make a course correction on the code.

This thread makes me want to remove my Invisiglass, put the standard glass back in the machine, and smash something through it. Invisiglass is too expensive to break. So much negativity. LOL.
