I don't need people to fund the development of a game. I'd just need people to buy it.

And yes, the theme is not a joke. I really think it would make a fantastic ruleset.

BA started out as a joke idea, but the more we joked and laughed about it the more we realized it would make a fantastic game.

I've explained this on many, many occasions. But yes, it would be "God of War Meets the Bible".

There could be jokes but they can't be at the expense of / in contradiction to the source material.

For instance, to continue our tradition of putting Road House lines in every game, Goliath could say to David "I thought you'd be bigger"

My leaving Spooky had nothing to do with Bible Adventures.

I know it would make a great pinball because it's filled with familiar stories that all revolve around numbers and repetition. The rules write themselves and there's great potential for depth. For instance 10 shots to start Exodus MB, then Red Sea escape, then collecting 10 commandments, then wandering for 40 years (seconds?) - see how deep it could be? And that's just one story.

People need to stop thinking about Veggie Tales Sunday School type stuff - this would be "God of War in the Old Testament".

But then "would it sell?" I really think it would. A lot of you are bringing up "Southern Mega Churches" but I actually think the home market is where it's at. Most pinheads are older, ie probably taken to church as kids, so they're familiar with the material. Religion is practically nostalgia at this point. As long as you make something "cool" and not "preachy" I think it would have wider appeal than you think.

Levi, catering to "super holy rollers" would be a mistake. I don't want the "fire and brimstone" Southern Baptist "follow us or die" type of thing. This game isn't preaching a lifestyle.

Rather it's about EVENTS. Fighting lions and Philistines. Knocking down walls. Floods. Loads of Egyptians dying. Stuff falling out of the sky. Michael Bay meets the 10 Commandments.

There are things I would avoid - like Sodom and Gamorrah for obvious reasons. Oh and the entire New Testament.

You don't have to be a holy roller - just someone who doesn't hate religion, likes pinball, and has 7k to spend. I think more people would land inside than Venn diagram than you might think.

Mode example: Noah's Ark.

Mode starts, there's a hurry-up timer to collect "2 of every animal". All stand ups light, hit each one twice to collect animal pair.

Once you've collected enough, the Roto-Scoop lights to start Ark Multiball. "GET TO THE ARK!!!!!" BUT you can keep collecting animals until the animated water reaches the ark (on the display) using your leftover time. The extra pairs would work towards your MB multiplier.

When you shoot the scoop or time runs out to start MB, we see the Ark door close and some weird, clearly extinct animal "just misses the boat" - that's an example of humor that could more or less fits the theme.

Game goes dark, thunder and lightning. Four ball MB, a 40 second timer starts (40 days and nights of flood). Shaker goes off constantly. No music, just sound FX. Using RGB inserts, blue "leaks" appear on the playfield and start to spread. Make the shot to "patch" the leak, this acts as your MB Jackpot.

If you keep 2 balls or more after the 40 seconds you go into the next stage of the story.

Haha oh snap!

Btw here's our current prototype for the mini pinball custom kit with a generic theme "Castle Attack"

The main game area is filled with modular holes with clips that the walls snap into, clips can be rotated in 22.5 degree increments.

I find pitch and bat to be laughably out of date, sorry.

RE: Bible yes I'd hire a real artist. I wonder if Alex Horley (RZ) would be game?

I'm not burned out on pinball, just Spooky.

It's not that Spooky doesn't pay well. The problem is there's no royalties to collect when your game is delayed to who knows when.

I have no idea what they pay people these days.
