For now it don't see it happen. 2 years of development and the TH shown at the expo was a big
disappointment for me.

What is disappointing also:

- JJP had no good story at the expo of what we can expect
- JJP had no good story after the expo what we can expect. Nothing concrete, just vage 'promises'
- JJP mentioning that they will do something with the feedback given by their customers. Why couldn't they with a professional team thought of those points?
- A part of the 'problems' were already know bij JJP. But some not? How can it be that if you are so far in the process of a game you did miss such points?
- People finding excuses to justify why TH looks like it does now

I am not in on TBL yet, and I am sorry to bring it up on this thread. So please, can someone explain me why Dutch Pinball has their shit together and why JJP isn't. I am in for almost 2 years on TH and it
is a dream theme for me, but all it gives me now is bad nightmares.

Quoted from Asael:

Yes it was, but please don't give up. I am sure that the endproduct will be great, perhaps not the game that would be built with unlimited resources. But I still think it has the potential to be one of the best games ever.

I sure hope so. But sense and feeling do not match a the moment.

I have come to realize that I do like a layout were it is clear what you have to do. Like AFM it is all there on the playfield, what to do and what your progress is. TH does not have that and maybe that is one of the reasons it does not 'suck you in'.

I hope JJP is going to convince me not to cancel my order. I so badly want this game to be a succes.
We will see that in a few weeks.

I love the new playfield art and apron. Only got one point I would like to give feedback on:

- Why are the lower trapdoors not colored in the same color scheme (red\yellow\brown\orange) as the top trap doors that match the surrounding colors?

As I was discussing the playfield layout of TH with one of my pinball friends we both came to the conclusion that you cannot judge a pin on layout only. Interesting to see is what theme, art, music, sound effects, rules and animations can add to the layout of a pin and give it an identity

Take a look at The Sopranos and Lord of the Rings. Do you see it
