Wish they had a website with some teasers or fabrication pics at the least, maybe even just showing some workers, parts, the pinball teams office, microwaves?
Jpop drawing some layouts, Santas little helpers, anything.
It all feels like an empty shell this way for mutch to long.
Quoted from Bublehead:Well thats a new one on me... apparently people are confusing a warfare and marketing tactic with a species of primates whose name sounds somewhat similar. I don’t think you can make that mistake in print, but you can never be too sure. But then again, what word could we use instead??
its just Monkey business
Bunch of people going apeshit over nothing
Quoted from Zavadoza:Sorry Robert. At least 12 white woods.
Because 12 isn't ambitious enough. Can't wait to see the more than 12 games come out in the next year.
Because of the changeble playfield system!
Quoted from vicjw66:Two words to solve all these problems......
Sonar.
Thats one word! 
Quoted from BMore-Pinball:any way for a buzzer to ring and alert me to this thread once there is something worth reading
Aint gonna buzz
Quoted from Roostking:Apparently. DeeprootMatt doesn't like us talking about having sex with the alien chick LOL
He's just jealous 
Quoted from frankmac:Do not shit where you play pinball. You might end up in Deepshit.. I mean Deeproot.
IBTL!
Praise to Deeproot for giving people their money back!,
Still Jpop would worry me as an employee, but hey .. people can change.
He makes fun games/themes.
Hope they will make great pins!
Would be good for pinball in general.
Wish they had some pics of their production lines and factory, or some more teasers.
Quoted from DS_Nadine:Whatever they show us, unless the games are built, playable on the show floor and ready for purchase, they can only loose when they post ANYTHING here. They allready teased much more with Raza as they said they'd do, wich may be an allowed exception, since Raza is a known title to be in their start lineup.
I still hope there will be a lineup of more then one game when they reveal the title.
But if not I'd bet my arse by now they'll have Raza ready for sale when they manage to reveal it in November.
I am not aware of their financial planning whatsoever but in general it makes more economic sense to roll out one game and generate income, then none (because you want to wait for the other 4 games you have planned for reveal). Also it'd be easier to get the line started.
I know, just hoping someone sneaks in there and takes pictures of the production line
But boy the whole situation of them paying the people they prommissed is certanly looking good.
Quoted from greenhornet:[quoted image]
LOL
Dont know how to vote up on my tablet, so here goes
Upvote!!
Quoted from John_I:'d piss on a spark plug before ever buying a game related to him.
now why would you do that?

Quoted from NoQuarters:Maybe Deeproot should explore making ventilators.
For when shit hits the fan?
Quoted from gonzo73:Dr gonzo says... always carry little airline bottles of vodka at pin shows. You never know.....
I just drink the handsanitizer 
Quoted from SadSack:Creepy Spieilberg made 11 year old boys act like "penis breath"...?.Just like Indy Jones was a Pedo. You don't catch on to it until you see how depraved it is from an adult viewpoint. Sad Sack to the rescue. Whannn, whanaaanannanh.
How did we get here? 
So your saying Trudeau will be on their team?
Well that would be even more shocking then JPop
Quoted from pinballwil:I hope they have once in a year a non cornerstone game for kia prices (like they announced) something like 3999 so there is also something for the casual home players that don't want to spend 6.5 to 12 K.
that can also intresting for a arcade when covid is over.
this!
But given the current market it will probably be 10k limited editions until shareholders have some return on investment. 
Quoted from Wildbill327:The pinbar sounds pretty cool, but it’s probably going to take a bit of time before pinheads start to realize that. From the video on TWIP it seems to be way more than just a new settings menu. If they can incorporate it into gameplay(seems like that’s DR plan)it can add some new and exciting modes/video modes and will also add more interaction with your pin. I would welcome the opportunity to turn up/down the sound while I have a ball trapped or possibly turn up/down flipper strength as well. Hopefully DR can put something on a line and ship a pin out soon.
This will be great for the youngsters, my 5yr old neighbour missie is already holding her own iphone, and my daughter and son are stuck to their phone and laptop.
This will feel natural to them!
I personaly dont NEED it but its pretty cool.
The "nut speakers" i dont get.
But maybe it adds a special sensation?
the pinbar combined with internet connectivity will start the age of DLC and advertisement previews on pinball machines.
Lootcrates, custom rules one has to buy and trophy awards when getting certain scores or objectives.
And the nutspeakers will make you believe you enjoy it cause of the weird tingeling sensation.
JPop/Rmeull brainwash!!!
Quoted from ronaldvg:They promised mechs that would do unimaginable stuff. RM talked about dozens of new toys that would interact with the ball and now they show this with a non working machine? Just wow.
Didnt Emagine that huh !
And not to mention the d!ck rattler speakers! Now Thats real interaction with the balls!
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Why Texas, when Robert could have been better off with taxes .
Robert just pissed himsellf
Texas, taxes
Busted
welcome back man!
Quoted from o-din:Just to let you guys know I have been paying attention to all these modern innovations, I also figured out where I've seen those speaker grills before.[quoted image]
The nut shaker speakers will bring mutch pleasure to both men and wimen playing a deeproot game!
More women in pinball!
Now thats innovating!
Quoted from JodyG:Did anyone receive their t-shirts?
20201011_160912 (resized).jpgQuoted from kermit24:Ready for what line?
The red line trough pinball is easy
not-easy-button-150x150 (resized).pngQuoted from DS_Nadine:Still watching the recorded Expo streams.
Saw the video from Mirco, hammer testing the new playfield clear.
Seems Deeproot is getting passed by from about everyone...
...but hey, at least their bragging lead to the Hammer test!
This is why competition is good.
Wasnt haggis pinball hammering their playfields first?
Quoted from Mr68:So the new countdown is now the end of the year?
72
Yes, they will have a world wide release and people all over the world will be celebrating the comming year of deeproot!
There will be fireworks all over the planet, and champagne!
20201021_072532 (resized).jpg
That ....or another delay
Quoted from thechakapakuni:This thread is proof humans enjoy train wrecks. Why do I keep coming back here?
You are human?
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:So... even their one innovation isn’t innovative?
Jpop steals/invents a lot of great ideas
Quoted from benheck:Die Deep Roots! DIE!
[quoted image]
Keep digging you'll be vine!
Quoted from DS_Nadine:Yeah, uhm...
I think even the most positive people around would not get their hopes up higher then „plz build anything at all“ by now.

GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE!!!
Quoted from pookycade:These people when successful have lots of other “little people” around them that turn this steaming pile of you know what into something real and a saleable product. ....doomed.
20201113_065602 (resized).pngOk Robert some free advice,
You can still surprise us all!
If...if you realy do have the rights to Goonies
Start building them now!
Drop the Poop bar, and the poop lifting glass, just a normal pin with great looks and rules
No need for internet connection
Come on
You can do it!
Pinball is...ehhh..., can be easy!
The pinbar is there for showing comercials and dlc content
Lootcrates and updates
Better to call it the katching bar (insert dropping coin sounds here)
Its a way to send your money straight to muellers bankacount
Iff it ever works
Quoted from benheck:End of the day Robert was just the latest mark for serial con man Jpop.
He was warned but didn't listen.
Maybe he is in on it?
Quoted from Mark1971:lmfao I have never seen a bigger group of crying complainers who never put down a penny but know it all. This is defiantly a group of weak men with nothing better to do but bitch and complain. What a bunch of whimp's
Wait a minute, you are now complaining about the complaining?
Doesnt that make you a complainer too?
You whimp!
Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:While this thread is active again, I'd liek to remind everyone of the math on this is the $30,000,000 investment to start up rumour is true. At $1,000 profit per machine and a 6% return on investment to investors they will literally never make any money even at 50 machines per week.
From several months ago:
f they make 50 machines per week (JJP numbers), and make $2000 per machine, if they are paying 6% to their initial investors it would take them almost 20 years to break even.
Let's say Deeproot is invested in this all at $30,000,000. How much "profit" do they need to make on a machine? Let's say for the purpose of math (and making it easier to alter later) it is $1,000. That means that in order for Deeproot to break even, they would need to make ($30,000,000/$1,000) 30,000 machines just to break even. Let's step that up further and say that they reach the rumored manufacturing capacity of Jersey Jack Pinball of 50 machines per week. This would imply that (30,000/50) 600 weeks or 11.5 years were needed just to break even. If you want to say they make $2,000 per machine that makes 5.75 years or $3,000 per machine makes almost 4 years just to break even. But wait! Deeproot must be paying their investors some sort of rate of return. 11.5 years at $1,000 per machine and Deeproot promised... say a 6% return on investment once production started, then they would owe investors almost $60 million after 11.5 years, not $30 million. In fact, if you include interest of 6% on Deeptroot initial startup money at $30,000,000, produce at the rate of Jersey Jack (50 per week), Deeproot would never be able to eliminate its startup debt. At $2,000 markup per machine it would take them ALMOST 20 YEARS to eliminate startup debt.
Please note I have no insider knowledge of Deeproot and am pulling the numbers for debt repayment based off of online calculators. My math may or may not be right but from my purely mathematical analysis I do not see this company making it long term. With that said I am rooting for them.
There's one thing wrong about your calculation, you base your numbers on other products
You keep forgetting that pinball is easy!
Quoted from TreyBo69:I was guessing September out of my butt and it may turn out that way.
A fortuneteller butt!
Lucky asshole!
Quoted from TreyBo69:Interesting emoji choice after talking about my butt
Quoted from kevmad:It really makes it hard to keep up with what’s happening with deep root.
Mods can you please try and keep this on topic?
Rumor has it that even deeproot doesn't know what's happening with deeproot
