#4053 6 years ago
Quoted from PinSinner:

Wow. Just wow. You guys should be really proud. Despicable Me Pinball looks insane.
I look forward to seeing some gameplay. Well done.

Thanks man,we post the gameplay next week!

#4056 6 years ago

Awesome. Would love to see this in the USA sometime. Maybe Texas pinball festival??

#4057 6 years ago
Quoted from pinballrockstar:

Boom!
Our next build is going to be an original theme about an insane asylum.
We have some crazy ideas this time...

Coool! Is it based on your headquarters?

#4058 6 years ago

Bravo guys, looks fantastic, I have really enjoyed watching you put it together over the past 12 or so months.
I am sure you have some more crazy great ideas for the next pin.
Looking forward to next Friday updates to see your game in action

#4059 6 years ago

Awesome Guy and again a big friday !!

#4060 6 years ago
Quoted from Fairground:

Coool! Is it based on your headquarters?

Partially
During the build we wrote down everything we wanted the Crazy Mansion to be..
And trust us...it is going to be sick.
It will feature awesome mechanics everywhere with some first in pinball very crazy things.
We had no clue how hard it was going to be,building the minion pinball...so we did not go too crazy with it.
We learned a lot through the minion build.
I learned programming the hard way with the minion pinball..so those are skills for a next build.
Everything will be way easier the next build..
So now the fun almost starts!!
We have to gather materials and we will rebuild our build area oncoming weeks.
Keep an eye out for that topic :

"We are building the Crazy Mansion pinball,updates every friday".

#4062 6 years ago
Quoted from pinballrockstar:

Made a credits section in attraction mode for everybody that helped us in a way during the build.
This is a permanent part of our code,you are in our machine forever.
Thanks everybody!

#4065 6 years ago

Well it's mixed feelings I have Amigos. Great that it is finished. A little sad as I've really enjoyed the world wide Friday get togethers. Bloody fantastic job. You guys must feel like......how do you say it Bas, BOOM!!!!!

Well the next title sounds freakin awesome. Shut up and take my money, the pre order line starts here.
You guys are the right ones for the job.

Next up. The Crazy Mansion proudly brought to you by "The escaped lunatics"
I really want to see "lunatics have taken over the asylum multiball." I'm hearing Pink Floyd asylum while running.

As always a great time Amigos.

Ah that is so nice of you to say man,thanks..means a lot to us people had fun reading our topic

Quoted from jokerpoker:

Nobody ever did an insane asylum as a theme as far as we know.
Think of it in a light,funny way.
With a lot of humor!
You are gonna love it,we are going to rock so hard this time around.
And ofcourse we want an original theme so we are not messing with a license.
This will be our pinball,our theme,our cabinet shape!
If somebody wants one when it is finished,it is possible you know.
Can't do that with a license.
Little reveal: we are doing a widebody to fit all the cool stuff!

#4067 6 years ago

Looking Great Guys!~

The wiring inside kinda scares me though....I imagine a dozen minions hanging around inside the Cabinet,
trying to sort them out!

An insane Asylum!?! Awesome!

Only 2 things hit me....Steam Punk/Victorian and some nice shock therapy Equipment!

My Saturday Morning starts with a Smile=======Thanks Guys!

Hey buddy,good to hear you! I am making a sidenote of the electro shock therapy.
Great idea man

#4069 6 years ago

Waking up, and looking at pics of Allentown......You guys should be there, even if the game isnt!

It appears that the libations are flowing all too well in PA this weekend!

Watch that Swinks Character, though....hes been known to go surfing instead of working!
(Good waves, Jady!)

#4070 6 years ago

WOW!!!

It looks incredible! Can't wait to see the gameplay vids!!

I'm excited that it's finally done, but I'm super sad that there won't be all of the Friday updates!

Make sure to post upcoming appearances well in advance, so that there is a chance for some of us to come see it in person!

#4071 6 years ago
Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

You guys should be there

Yeah true...now we are merely virtual friends
Next week we will also start on a fun job...staging all the figurines we have

Quoted from pinballrockstar:

What else can we do with our friday evening

Get Laid? Or are you guys Married?

#4074 6 years ago

Love getting up on Saturday and catching up on this thread when I can't be around Friday night.

The game looks amazing as always, great job amigos!

#4075 6 years ago

This is looking excellent. I love the idea of loosing points for a bad shot. You should be pleased as punch with what you've achieved.

#4076 6 years ago
Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

Married with children.

Quoted from Wolfmarsh:

Well we hope our future topic is just as enjoyable for you dude

Quoted from Muppet_Man:

Yeah...it was a mountain we climbed,but we were determined to reach the finish line.

Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

The wiring inside kinda scares me though....I imagine a dozen minions hanging around inside the Cabinet,

We are going to clean that up and zip tie everything in a logical way.
You can't do that till you are absolutely finished installing wires.
It will clean up..

#4077 6 years ago

Bravo guys, seriously. Congratulations. It's awesome and I can't wait to see some serious game play videos!

And also, the next thread!

#4083 6 years ago

#4085 6 years ago

Congratulations on finishing the Minions Pin! It looks great! I can not wait until there are game play videos!

#4086 6 years ago

Wait, it's finished? It's over? I thought we were just getting started.

The game looks incredible! Maybe one day I will get to play it in person. Looking forward to the gameplay video. What is your filming set up going to look like? Birds eye view with separate player and DMD cameras, like they do at PAPA?

#4087 6 years ago

The most important part of the video is clearly around the 4-6 second point

No we'll just push a normal camera to the limit

Ask Swinks or Oldpinguy , they have a different opinion on that

#4090 6 years ago

I was stoked to be mentioned, had a laugh of how I was mentioned but in the end I didn't do much. Nice work to the Amigos and all that contributed

#4091 6 years ago
Quoted from swinks:

I was stoked to be mentioned, had a laugh of how I was mentioned but in the end I didn't do much. Nice work to the Amigos and all that contributed

That is why we call ourselves the Pinball Amigos...
The Pinball Amigos aren't necessarily a 3 man group,we BUILD stuff TOGETHER on pinside,POST and LAUGH together AND brainstorm together about stuff.
If you contribute(in mental support or material support..),you are one of the amigos.
Maybe the Pinball Amigos are a 300 man group in total?

And i really like how people make us aware of stuff , we often adjust things right away.
Like peaceboy666 for example,he noticed our dmd says "press fart" but we forgot to actually swap the start button decal
I really enjoyed building this topic and be part of creating a machine at the same time.

So that is why we decided to continue on our quest for awesomeness.
The Crazy Mansion pinball machine is going to be insane...we have a bunch of ideas that will make you piss yourself
Did i already give a spoiler? it will be a widebody..

#4092 6 years ago

nicely said, look forward to the next game

Man... the war stories I could tell ya about it all
