Awesome!
Real solid of you man!
After the playfield swap,we are going to pack the playfield with cool figures.
Really excited!
We are on the lookout for the mailman

Quoted from pinballrockstar:

The new ramp is real smooth,everything is connected and the subway under the upper playfield works well.

I love how fast the ball goes from the wireform to the flipper. Keeps you on your toes.

Thanks,stop and go sucks...we want the game to shoot as fast and smooth as possible.
We might bring the wireform to the chromer, that will make it even faster

These are not the types of posts I was expecting today. I was looking for pictures of stuff getting done and work environments that would make any OSHA inspector nervous.

#1858 7 years ago

Come on guys - it's Friday! Start drinking some Desparados and get welding and tinkering with stuff. But don't get carried away and knock over the laptop this time.

Sir, I'm sorry but I cannot agree in your taste of beer!
You need to get some bottles of Brouwerij de Molen or similar hipster brewery, to earn my approval of posting such booze pictures on pinside.

I've been waiting for this post for far too long! I would lose sleep every time I saw that dirty flipper.

The plunger lane gets a new feature, a minion that shoots fire while taking off...we are going to make a matrix light under there so we can control the burnout

We also just made a start on a new apron project,we are going to make a compartment in the apron to lower the minion goggles in there that labnip bought in universal for us!
We will add a text joke of some sort next to it, something in the spirit of it being an original movie prop/relic, worn by minion Bob.

We will totally check that beer out, but i will always be a heineken fan!

#1893 7 years ago

was wondering where the goggles were going to be integrated into the apron

i could see like 2 OLED screens(1 under each goggle-eye part), or 1 long rectangle OLED.
And add code that animates minion eyes that react to the game.
Certain targets get hit, and the eyes look in that direction.
squinting,
angry,
asleep,
scared,
bored,
...

This is awesome, you come up with such good ideas.

#1895 7 years ago

#1896 7 years ago

Wow! That is an unreal cool idea Brett

Mic came up with it,and soon we agreed it was so cool,we had to add a matrix light there.
We will also have a throttling bike sound when the plunger lane gets served.
Maybe another sound of a bike taking off with a minion screaming WHEEEE!!!! when you plunge...
