Really awesome project you guys are doing. Keep up the good work.

At least he didn't drill a hole in the backglass or something.

This is one of the best threads on this site. Sorry to hear the ramp didn't work out. I'm sure we all know that feeling of working hard on something and it not working out. But keep up the great work! Can't wait to see all the future updates.

Bugsy

Awesome job, keep up the great work!

One minor piece of advice for you. If you are taking a video, rotate your mobile/camera/smartphone to horizontal and then take the video. It will look way better on YouTube and will give a wider view of the game itself.

I just thought of this - it would have been cool to make a loop wireform, like a roller coaster.... Hmmm... I'm trying to think how this would work. It definitely would look cool having a loop right there under the glass for the visual factor. Not sure how that would work practically and in gameplay though.

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

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

Nice work on cleaning that Baywatch! Looking really good so far.

Groovy baby

Minion updates on a Sunday? Awesome!

At least it didn't get lost in the mail

Sweet JY in the background. If I ever visit Holland I'm definitely hitting you up.

*Do you guys prefer "Holland" or "Netherlands"?*

Hey Amigos,

Check out Bowen's new tutorial on Baywatch. Maybe it will help you in appreciating the game a little more.

At least tag this picture NSFW, my god man.

That stick figure drawing is awesome. It should be included as an easter egg in the code.

When the topic gets derailed...

As a matter of fact, that gif would make an awesome match sequence on the display. The green "fog" would instead be a number, but would be kind of wavy to show the resemblance of gas.

Figured I'd start your Friday off with some Minion toys I found. Let me know if you want me to send you some

There is a light at the end of the tunnel it seems. It's looking amazing so far.

When it's Friday and there are pictures after beautiful pictures of this stunning work... A progression of my reactions.

Hot damn! I should have saved my reaction gif for after the Gru cut and then the removal of the protector film. I practically almost fell backwards in my chair, same as the gif

Incredible work.

I've got a different type of popcorn for this thread.

pinballrockstar We are all blood thirsty savages and need our Friday fix. Can't wait to see what you guys have in store for us.

When is the "Pinball Amigos game #2 prediction" thread?

I was wondering what you guys would be doing in the "shoot", "el macho", and "volcano" area. I see there is a big red piece of plastic there now. I thought there would be some guided area for the ball to go and then return to the left inlane behind those targets. Kind of like the right side on Spiderman.

Here is an idea. Make a guided area under the plastic that is not really visible to someone who's never seen the game before. Since that area of the game is not really accessible by a flipper shot, the ball would carom and fall in there by chance. You could put a switch under the plastic in that guided area and program it to either start a "secret mode" after some other shots (like after a certain amount of ramp shots, or loops shots) or play funny sounds, or do something cool.

Hahaha ok ok. But think of the cool hidden path under the plastic......

To be honest, I'm not sure why I'm questioning you. You guys have made it this far and I keep getting blown away at this amazing project.

That volcano sucks, my idea was better

Looking good so far guys

That right loop looks like a bit of a tight shot. I like it.

+1 for Bergkamp <3

¡Hola Amigos!

Looking good so far! These Friday updates are always awesome.

Question about the slingshots though: will you be attaching any toys or figures to those slings? The plain orange plastic just looks kind of bare. I could see a few small minions attached with double sided tape (or something similar) right on top of them. I think it would give the game a nice look, maybe give it a bit more depth.

I'm thinking of something like this:

That music sounds epic and intense. Awesome!

The next challenge is getting it to Dallas for the TPF...

The only real answer to any and all battery replacement is NVRAM.

Yeah, this is news to me too. But luckily none of my games have a midnight mode so NVRAM is still the best option for me.

I haven't posted in a while but I haven't missed a beat. The game is looking really awesome, great job.

Ummmm..... no comment

You are on a roll now

Damn, no love for Party Monsters?! That's a real shame. But glad it's going to a good home where it will get played.

Dude, you gotta spray paint the edge of the hole you cut for the fan in the back.

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?

Nice videos, the game looks great. But when are the full game videos? I want to see a three player match between all the Pinball Amigos.

Savage

I found one of the Amigos. Not much left to do these days now that their game is finished.
