Wow! This And Forbiden Planet are two machines that I definitely hope get put into production sometime in the near future.
Well done!

Quoted from Ericpinballfan:

2017 Bump to get this made for all of us to enjoy!!

Pinball exhibitions follow after each other, with some pinball reveals and finally...Wooly is the best pinball theme since B/W golden age.

17 is my fetish number so this game must see the daylight this year...I hope so.

Quoted from colonel_caverne:

Wooly is the best pinball theme since B/W golden age.

So you better come back to my home and check it with new code (1.35C) and color display. Or wait until I bring it to Montanceix this June.

There are still a number of suggestions I would love to see implemented. Will send feedback to Scott and Frank in a few weeks after extensive testing.

As of today: (to Frank)
- (settings) Can you allow kickback to be "on" when starting a game?
- Medusa mutiball jackpots and super jackpots are far too low (50k - 250k?). Make them 250k - 1M ? Also: choose a different shot for the super jackpot ?

One thing I missed at TPF was running in to Scott. Would have been cool to network

Scott had the family there so no telling where they were at.

I ran into Scott and while he said hi...

Quoted from MustangPaul:

Scott had the family there so no telling where they were at.

^^^ ... he was smart enough to keep his wife and kids far from the custom pins booth.

I'm always sorry that there aren't enough Woolys in the wild that they can be at shows like this.

Quoted from luvthatapex2:

Any updates on a possible manufacturing partner for the game?

#1911 6 years ago
Quoted from TigerLaw:

Any updates on a possible manufacturing partner for the game?

There was a rumor floating around at Expo that A.P. was possibly interested?

Code updates on a machine not even produced....maybe some "other" manufacturer might want to take note!

#1912 6 years ago
Quoted from vdojaq:

The manufacturing market has changed since the original effort to secure 100 buyers. It would be great to see A.P partner up, like Spooky and TNA.

I think the response from buyers would be much stronger today, especially seeing the continued commitment to a game that was never mass produced.

#1913 6 years ago
Quoted from RTS:

Agreed. I wonder if the cost would be the same today as it was going to be two years ago. Inflation and what not.

#1914 6 years ago

I hope this game gets produced.

LTG : )

#1915 6 years ago

+1 on hoping this game get's produced.

#1916 6 years ago
Quoted from RTS:

It would be great to see A.P partner up, like Spooky and TNA.

They could also partner with Spooky? Target a late 2018 build out of 100 games? Would be awesome.

#1917 6 years ago
Quoted from TigerLaw:

Agreed. I wonder if the cost would be the same today as it was going to be two years ago.

Probably less because a lot of those "mystery mechs" they didn't want to talk about (ie. single drop targets ) are more readily available.

#1918 6 years ago

I’m still interested in buying. Let’s get it done

#1919 6 years ago
Quoted from TigerLaw:

makes even more sense to work with Spooky now that they have done a Proc title.

#1920 6 years ago

Are any of the produced units publicly available to play? Would be interested for sure based on what I’ve read... but would still like to play it in person first.

#1921 6 years ago
Quoted from Pinzap:

Are any of the produced units publicly available to play?

Sadly, no.

I believe the existing games reside with those that helped on the project, and none are operators that I know of except Kris. And I don't believe he's put it out on location.

Kris talked about bringing his here, but it never happened.

I operate also but have not put Wooly out. I did take it to Mad Rollin a few years back.

I have it in cue to add the colorGI and then I can update my code to the most recent built. After, that I would be happy to have a visitor stop over to play it.
Probably wont get to this till Jan, but it will get done (I promise Frank )

#1923 6 years ago

On my wishlist of pins!
+1 for AP or Spooky to produce.

#1924 6 years ago

DeepRoot is looking for a designer/finished game to produce.

Mine is not on location but if you plan to visit France, just ask. Nemo is fairly rare as well!
I brought WOOLY to a pin show last year and will do it again.

Hmmm... now that sounds like a great reason for a vacation!! Plus I could swing over to the Netherlands afterwards and maybe get a few games on Minion or the upcoming Crazy Mansion!! Just make it a rare and unique pinball trip maybe!!

#1927 6 years ago

Frank told me a month ago that there was an opportunity to build the game in 2018. however it needed to be confirmed.
i don't know now if Riot team has any update or not.
i keep hope to be made and normally game will come with mature code

Awesome news for the 6 people who own the game.

How about news of a mass production schedule? People want this game!

#1930 6 years ago

Wooly will be my new game in 2018. I feel it.

#1931 6 years ago

Still feel this should be American Pinball next game.

#1932 6 years ago

Is this available in Virtual Pinball to play?

Yes an early version is in VP9

1 month later
#1935 6 years ago

I don’t give up...so is this game coming out or not? Any updates?
Also curious to know if the riot team is still trying to get this game better, if this game could be eventually developed with HD LCD display?

#1936 6 years ago

No updates at this time. When we have something to say we will!

Ive continued to tighten the code and add small features to make it better but right now I'm happy with it. We have no interest in developing for an HD display since the game is fully colorized with a colordmd. We are very pleased with the colordmd technology.

Version 1.33 August 2016
During DEMIGOD, if you fail, you retain completed and incomplete modes and are taken back to normal
play.During normal play you can battle any incomplete battles again, but this time without time
restriction. If you complete the remaining battles the second time around you go directly to the
wizard mode.

During the wizard mode if you fail, all monsters/gods are reset and you start a new journey.
During wizard mode if you complete all 5 challenges (levels) and attain immortality, you get
1 billion points, leader board for immortals and are taken back to normal gameplay, monster/gods
are reset and you start a new journey. This works too for multiplayer where one or more players
may have locked balls in pandoras box. Their locks are retained.

* Zeus - animated lightning/clouds(like the beginning animation) for
each hit and static lighnting/clouds for incorrect hits
* Wizard mode 4 - Status during each hit to show how many shots remaining, failed shot messages,
shot counter, refreshed path lighting after each fail, shots still have to be hit in order, but
you can continue the shot path where you left off after a failed shot.

* Bugfix - Skillshots disabled during Wizard Modes
* Bugfix - POSEIDON - right ramp TRI light corrected (previously it would blink during the required
shot for 2 seconds and extinguish)

* Bugfix - flasher show after wizard mode 5 doesn't turn off
* Bugfix - failed demigod and could not start hades (remaining incomplete battle)

Pick 20 of your favorite songs that you would like to hear in your Wrath of Olympus pinball
machine, save them to a specific folder on your usb stick, insert the stick in your pinball
machine, turn it on and through the service menu enable ALTERNATE SOUNDTRACK and select the
UPDATE option. In 10-15 seconds, all 20 songs will get incorporated in the pinball machine.
Reboot the game and press start. All 20 songs will be enabled in every mode and hurryup for your
ultimate pinball soundtrack.

So after a few months you want to try a different artist or genre, simply pick another 20 songs,
prepare them and pop them on the USB stick and update the game with these songs. The game will
grow with you as your music tastes change

Specifics: There is a map to help you decide what song will get mapped to what hurryup or mode.
The labels are track1 to track20. Simply name your tracks according to the map and whatever song
you want to play during MEDUSA for example, just name the audio file track12. No need to trim
the length of your song, the game will fade it when necessary. Also, all audio files need to be
44k stereo ogg format. You can use the free audacity audio tool to convert your file to the ogg
format. Looping is already built in the game, just ensure there isn't any leading space before
the music plays.

Version 1.04
Feb 13, 2015 - expand the Narrative option

In version 1.02 I introduced a simple narrative option and through the last 2 builds the option was expanded. Now I can explain
this new feature.

During regular gameplay you will hear a story about the characters you're seeing and battling. The first 2 stories are: OLYMPUS -
Home of the gods and The Titan War. As progress is made during gameplay, more of the story is revealed. As the next ball is delivered
to the shooter, the story picks up where it left off. When the first story ends, the second story begins. We will have more than 2
stories in regular gameplay.

In multiplayer mode, stories are selected randomly at the beginning of the game so player 1 might hear the first story while player
2 might hear a second story, etc. Or by chance all 4 players could hear the first story. Again as stated story progress is saved and
continues on subsequent balls and the next story loads up when the previous one ends.

During the 8 battle modes, a specific story related to the monster or god you are battling will be heard. As you progress though the
battle you hear more of the story. Its possible to defeat the monster/god and not hear the whole story, or run out of time trying to
beat the foe and hear the whole story but still not defeat the foe.

The goal is to have a bunch of stories told in typical greek fashion by your narrator

We also added more lighting effects to direct the player to jackpots or areas of big points:
Zeus letter multiball - chase lamp effect on ramps
achilles hurryup - center drop chase lamp effect
lightening targets and bumper hits - chase light effects with the center 8 mode lamps

Lightning monsters (6) were given end of hurryup screens so you can see which monster you defeated and how many more to defeat to lightning champ.

Coming soon. Version 1.05 and the ALTERNATE SOUNDTRACK function....
Version 1.03
New highscore champion categories were added. More opportunities to carve your initials! You'll see these in attract mode.
Its not only fun to beat the monsters and gods, but handle your multipliers and jackpots to score big and let everyone know
who's the champ!
 Minotaur Champion
 Cerberus Champion
 Medusa Champion
 Hydra Champion
 Ares Champion
 Poseidon Champion
 Hades Champion
 Zeus Champion

UPDATE option. In 10-15 seconds, all 20 songs will get incorporated in the pinball machine.
Reboot the game and press start. All 20 songs will be enabled in every mode and hurryup for your
ultimate pinball soundtrack.
So after a few months you want to try a different artist or genre, simply pick another 20 songs,
prepare them and pop them on the USB stick and update the game with these songs. The game will
grow with you as your music tastes change
Specifics: There is a map to help you decide what song will get mapped to what hurryup or mode.
The labels are track1 to track20. Simply name your tracks according to the map and whatever song
you want to play during MEDUSA for example, just name the audio file track12. No need to trim
the length of your song, the game will fade it when necessary. Also, all audio files need to be
44k stereo ogg format. You can use the free audacity audio tool to convert your file to the ogg
format. Looping is already built in the game, just ensure there isn't any leading space before
the music plays.
Version 1.04
Feb 13, 2015 - expand the Narrative option
In version 1.02 I introduced a simple narrative option and through the last 2 builds the option was expanded. Now I can explain
this new feature.
During regular gameplay you will hear a story about the characters you're seeing and battling. The first 2 stories are: OLYMPUS -
Home of the gods and The Titan War. As progress is made during gameplay, more of the story is revealed. As the next ball is delivered
to the shooter, the story picks up where it left off. When the first story ends, the second story begins. We will have more than 2
stories in regular gameplay.
In multiplayer mode, stories are selected randomly at the beginning of the game so player 1 might hear the first story while player
2 might hear a second story, etc. Or by chance all 4 players could hear the first story. Again as stated story progress is saved and
continues on subsequent balls and the next story loads up when the previous one ends.
During the 8 battle modes, a specific story related to the monster or god you are battling will be heard. As you progress though the
battle you hear more of the story. Its possible to defeat the monster/god and not hear the whole story, or run out of time trying to
beat the foe and hear the whole story but still not defeat the foe.
The goal is to have a bunch of stories told in typical greek fashion by your narrator
We also added more lighting effects to direct the player to jackpots or areas of big points:
Zeus letter multiball - chase lamp effect on ramps
achilles hurryup - center drop chase lamp effect
lightening targets and bumper hits - chase light effects with the center 8 mode lamps
Lightning monsters (6) were given end of hurryup screens so you can see which monster you defeated and how many more to defeat to lightning champ.
Coming soon. Version 1.05 and the ALTERNATE SOUNDTRACK function....
Version 1.03
New highscore champion categories were added. More opportunities to carve your initials! You'll see these in attract mode.
Its not only fun to beat the monsters and gods, but handle your multipliers and jackpots to score big and let everyone know
who's the champ!
 Minotaur Champion
 Cerberus Champion
 Medusa Champion
 Hydra Champion
 Ares Champion
 Poseidon Champion
 Hades Champion

Version 1.05 - the ALTERNATE SOUNDTRACK function.
Pick 20 of your favorite songs that you would like to hear in your Wrath of Olympus pinball
machine, save them to a specific folder on your usb stick, insert the stick in your pinball
machine, turn it on and through the service menu enable ALTERNATE SOUNDTRACK and select the
UPDATE option. In 10-15 seconds, all 20 songs will get incorporated in the pinball machine.
Reboot the game and press start. All 20 songs will be enabled in every mode and hurryup for your
ultimate pinball soundtrack.
So after a few months you want to try a different artist or genre, simply pick another 20 songs,
prepare them and pop them on the USB stick and update the game with these songs. The game will
grow with you as your music tastes change
Specifics: There is a map to help you decide what song will get mapped to what hurryup or mode.
The labels are track1 to track20. Simply name your tracks according to the map and whatever song
you want to play during MEDUSA for example, just name the audio file track12. No need to trim
the length of your song, the game will fade it when necessary. Also, all audio files need to be
44k stereo ogg format. You can use the free audacity audio tool to convert your file to the ogg
format. Looping is already built in the game, just ensure there isn't any leading space before
the music plays.
Version 1.04
Feb 13, 2015 - expand the Narrative option
In version 1.02 I introduced a simple narrative option and through the last 2 builds the option was expanded. Now I can explain
this new feature.
During regular gameplay you will hear a story about the characters you're seeing and battling. The first 2 stories are: OLYMPUS -
Home of the gods and The Titan War. As progress is made during gameplay, more of the story is revealed. As the next ball is delivered
to the shooter, the story picks up where it left off. When the first story ends, the second story begins. We will have more than 2
stories in regular gameplay.
In multiplayer mode, stories are selected randomly at the beginning of the game so player 1 might hear the first story while player
2 might hear a second story, etc. Or by chance all 4 players could hear the first story. Again as stated story progress is saved and
continues on subsequent balls and the next story loads up when the previous one ends.
During the 8 battle modes, a specific story related to the monster or god you are battling will be heard. As you progress though the
battle you hear more of the story. Its possible to defeat the monster/god and not hear the whole story, or run out of time trying to
beat the foe and hear the whole story but still not defeat the foe.
The goal is to have a bunch of stories told in typical greek fashion by your narrator
We also added more lighting effects to direct the player to jackpots or areas of big points:
Zeus letter multiball - chase lamp effect on ramps
achilles hurryup - center drop chase lamp effect
lightening targets and bumper hits - chase light effects with the center 8 mode lamps
Lightning monsters (6) were given end of hurryup screens so you can see which monster you defeated and how many more to defeat to lightning champ.
Coming soon. Version 1.05 and the ALTERNATE SOUNDTRACK function....
Version 1.03
New highscore champion categories were added. More opportunities to carve your initials! You'll see these in attract mode.
Its not only fun to beat the monsters and gods, but handle your multipliers and jackpots to score big and let everyone know
who's the champ!
 Minotaur Champion
 Cerberus Champion
 Medusa Champion
 Hydra Champion
 Ares Champion
 Poseidon Champion
 Hades Champion

You typed all that out?

Any chance one of these makes it to TPF? Super long shot I know...

#1948 6 years ago

What stood out was character narration revealed during play and that two were recorded. luvthatapex2 does that mean more will be coming and can you explain that part a little more?

#1949 6 years ago

At the time I recorded 8 more stories, one for each monster and god. Scott and I worked on the content. The phrases are in typical Greek poetics to make them feel like an event. I also added a phrase for each level of the wizard mode, there are 5 levels and each is a challenge of the gods. Not to bore the rest, so here is an example of 1 monster story - Minotaur. The longer you last in the mode, more story snippets you hear. Each unique switch you hit gives you a sentence along with other sounds and lightening and that stuff you'd expect.

Minotaur
A terrifying half man and half bull,
A monstrous beast of incredible strength.
Offspring of a Cretan queen and a bull.
Captured and locked in a labyrinth,
Built at the order of King Minos.
Every year for nine years,
Seven youths and maidens died,
Paid as a tribute for Athens.

So anyway, you have fun killing monsters and battling gods and learn a little Greek mythology
It's almost like a secret, as the hundreds of people that have played it never once commented on the stories, lol.
