I am in!

If get one

Yes me too

I do love it.
I would be happy to buy another just to support the cause and so the game could make it out for others to play. It really is that good.

correct. I have no choice but to update my hardware so I can then update my software.

Thanks for your support Hilton. I'm glad to hear you like the game enough to warrant another build.

For the record, Hilton hand built his game along side me. At the time, RGB GI was not part of our pre-production design. Since then Frank Gigliotti has been working hard at coming up with enhancements, both software and hardware related to make the game even better and more attractive to people.

Since the pre-production games have been built there were many software updates prior to any hardware updates. These updates fine tuned the code and added polish to the game. Hilton's game is the only game out of many that has not been upgraded to RGB GI. Considering this game is no longer in pre-production and when built was effectively "complete," it does not make sense for Frank to support a completely different code set for one game that is not at the current build state. Also, please keep in mind that the current software allows for the RGB GI to be set to a single color so that people that have issues with the color changing can play the game in it's original released state.

If anyone has any questions please feel free to PM me. Big thanks to all who supported and continue to support WOOLY!

T-800 Scott, I have never bit the bullet and bought NIB yet...but if WOOLY ever makes it to production (and the cost isn't INSANE), I will! Your work on this project is astounding!

Great question. As of right now we are shopping around the IP to find an interested party with the capability and ethical business practices to get the game built. Most manufacturers right now appear to have a lot on their plate; but we keep trying.

Thank you for acknowledging the need for BOTH!

just to be clear. I did not mean to infer other. I dont expect Frank to maintain 2 code states.
I just need to find the time in install the RGB GI; I am the issue, not Frank.

I had no idea this was an option. sweet!

Sure, here is one

it is about time you admitted to this. so proud of you for your break through

We have a 2.1 sound system installed in the game. AMP connected to headphone jack of our single board computer located in the backbox. No additional headphone jack but you could plug in headphones in place of the speaker system.

Been on my wishlist for over a year.
So, i guess that makes me extremely interested!
I would buy one if not over 8k, with the color display.

If priced reasonably (IE: not BM66 or DI pricing) I'm in!

I have been repeatedly offered ever increasing amounts for my WOOLY (NFS), so I know there is a contingent of high end and rare collectors that are on board.

Last offer was so damn much I asked the guy to stop sending me offers. I dont like owning a single material possession worth so much that it makes me think of it as a collectible rather than a pinball machine.

I hope team RIOT are able to get this game to life in a production environment!

I would probably be in on this as well. Frank and I worked on some lighting for this so I would love to see it produced. Frank was always changing code making the smallest things just a little better.

Have the wooley creators make another. Sell for $20k and use that to lower production tooling costs and give the project more potential

I have to ask, how much was the offer?

I bet they would get 100 preorders now easily, certainly if they had the same price as last time (seems like a bargain price for a full feature machine like this one).

More than a Big Bang Bar
Less than a King King

Enough that I dont like to think about that.

I think It is a great idea for team Riot to make another small run and sell them for top dollar to highest bidders. They can do whatever they want with the funds, but would be awesome if it helped them get to a full production run. I get the impression they are more interested in finding a viable manufacturer to do a full build and not interested in small runs. What was done before was a great proof of concept to show it can be done and that the game is designed so well that a few pinheads, in a basement, with a bit of beer and a whole lot of crazy can make it happen in a week!

side note: they would easily sell for more than 20k given the deep pockets and offers that each owner has likely gotten for their machine already.

How many are there right now?

Would someone be willing to pay top dollar now, knowing that more will be produced later? I'm sure the people that made the high offers thought that more will never be made.

There are 6 games right now. 5 are in the USA and 1 is in France.

There is a thread that chronicles the past 3.5 years of the project. It shows when the prototypes were built and the week in 2015 when 3 guys built 4 games. Here is the link to the week when the last 4 games were built.

Quick answer: you can't build the game yourself, there is no kit. There were 6 games made (4 by scott and 2 by other owners with Scott). This was to prove the game is production capable and reproducibile and 2 owners were given the opportunity to built their own games with the designers help. All 6 games are basically identical except for the one fellow that didn't install the RGB GI and colordmd yet

soon

Most have not even played it yet.
It makes sense to me to tour the game to the major shows first that it's yet to be at.
I presume Total Annihilation will make many shows before shipping.

I think it's been at Expo a couple of years in a row so it has been around.

Yes, it was also at Mad Rollin Pinball a few years ago

It's not possible to build yourself. The game is unavailable for purchase at this time. If we find a contract manufacturer and work out an agreement the game will be built like any other game. No news at this time, but we are trying.

Game was shown and played by the public:
10/2013 - Chicago Expo (proto 1)
5/2014 - Allentown Show (proto 2)
10/2014 - Chicago Expo (proto 3)
9/2015(?) - Mad Rollin (pre-production)
10/2015 - Chicago Expo (pre-production)

is this the same game on VP?

No. Scott originally designed the game in VP but when he decided to build it, it was redesigned and I programmed it from scratch in another framework with DMD instead of alphanumeric displays. All original artwork was created for the animations and a soundtrack from 2steps from hell was added, new toys, new ramps, new lighting, all new rules. The basic idea of the game is the same, Battle monsters and gods and try to gain immortality. You can get a feel for some of the shots with the VP table but it's different.

Someone please bring this to Ca PAGG!
4 weeks and counting!
