Quoted from northvibe:

Kind of a huge distinction. One just creates code on a platform, one creates the platform, how it will function, the future etc. the roles are very different some businesses may mix them but when mixed the inexperienced software programmer is a bad fit to create... we have dealt with many software and hardware projects with these issues.

Quoted from Mudflaps:

I enjoy games where every shot is rewarded. EHOH and IMDN are like that. Even if I miss, I build towards something.
Houdini is like that, too. There are tons of modes, movies, missions, jail escapes, multiballs, magic shop stuff, etc. to shoot. I have zero complaints with code, and I enjoy the animations as well.
Oktoberfest seems to be cut from the same cloth, and it’s on my wishlist after owning Houdini. I’m pretty sure I’ll have one soon. Build quality is great, code is great, and the team accepts criticisms with an open mind.
As I mentioned previously, I think the team could benefit from a more traditional layout from a new designer, but code-wise, you guys are crushing it.

Quoted from TigerLaw:

A forthcoming rerun of TNA in a standard sized cabinet with some other refinements. Not sure when exactly it’ll be coming out.

Quoted from rosh:

Unfortunately you were never going to get a real answer from Hilton on that. We have seen this before, he pops into some new AP thread to attack our games and/or code. Last time, when asked for specifics, he tucked his tail between his legs and left. This time he gives the nonsensical . . .

but then writes a small novel. But again, we all know it is not because he believes that we don't want the feedback, since anyone who follows us on Pinside knows we genuinely do and respond to feedback, it's because he has not played the machines enough to know the rules or to know the code, to be able to tell you specifics as to what he likes or does not like about it.
So what you need to understand is he as some kind of a vendetta against AP or maybe it is just me. His attacks are not really about our games since he has spent so little time on them. In his rush to spit out some vitriol, he forgot you are my partner in crime.
I could go find in another thread what is response will be to this post, since I' sure it will be the same we have seen before. However, I just got an email with some feedback on the Houdini beta, and my time would be far better spent looking at meaningful feedback, than wasting more time on Hilton's nonsensical posts.

Congratulations to AP and Dennis Nordman

Quoted from RazerX:

I love many of Nordman's games, but am I missing something with EHOH? What innovation exactly has he brought with EHOH?

Quoted from bobukcat:

Wow, there is a lot of great stuff in that podcast including Dennis being quite frank about some of his Heighway experiences and that he and Franchi are working on a game for CGC. Sounds like whatever was planned for game 5 is getting bumped up and will now be Game 4 which may be followed by a game from one of the new "young" designers they are bringing in. This is the first time I've ever really heard of / from David Fixx but he really sounds energized and gung-ho about the process and future for AP, I'm really looking forward to seeing how this all plays out.
rosh it's a really good thing you got that Houdini code update out, sounds like you and ferret are going to be really, really busy!

Quoted from Daditude:

The #1 complaint about Houdini is that it's hard...but I don't understand that because players also often complain about games being too easy. I feel that an element of difficulty is far better to have than being too simple, especially in a home setting.
It has everything players say they are looking for: Good rules, lots of shots, great toys, an interesting and unique theme, phenomenal art and lighting, tremendous build quality, and spot-on sounds/music.
