Scott,

I am amazed at your accomplishments thus far on WOOLY. I am one of the many pinheads who attempted to build their own designs (I crudely drilled/routed a playfield and made a foamcore setup), but have come nowhere near you. I live down in Florida and would LOVE to see it at the APE or FPF next year! I understand it's a long haul from Minnesota, but it would be awesome if you were able to. I haven't been to expo since '07, but I will try to make it this year to play it in person. Hopefully Stern or JJP can help mass-produce it!

Good idea. But the Greek columns must be made of real marble and be part of the LE Supreme Godly edition

I'd love to see (as well as others) a Facebook page showing the WOOLY process from start to its current stage, if your busy schedule permits!

Scott,

I have a friendly suggestion re: the ball entrance from shooter lane into bottom R flipper lane. I notice the ball tends to slightly bounce around on the one-way gate before entering the R flipper lane. If you look at games like AFM and MM, the ball goes up a small ramp out of the shooter lane and onto playfield (The ramp is roughly a 5/8" incline). Then, it smoothly rolls off the edge of said ramp, (after hitting jet bumpers a few times) back down right orbit, and into lower playfield area.

Maybe insert a small, short ramp like this for more smoothness? The edge/drop off of the ramp can be curved so the ball just swooshes around a small arc, and into R return lane (think of the curved pyramid/idol return lane on IJ). Not saying what you currently have isn't good, but it may help your already great layout just a bit more

I have to make a correction. I watched the video again and the ball return/gate seems smooth enough. Must've had a brain fart. Anyways, WOOLY looks great. Whysnow is right. Follow your desire, it's what the Gods would want Carry on!

That Pandora's Box ball lock looks cool.

Absolutely kickass, Scott!

Scott,

I could've sworn that was something peeing on the match sequence! If time permits, can you show a separate video showing the DMD and backglass lighting effects together?

Cool, thanks. Looks great. I like how you choreographed the bg lights to synch with the mode's characters!

I also see a Predator playfield. It's great that Spooky is helping you, and that independent pin companies support each other!

I'm digging the speaker panel. Everything looks amazing. Question, how did you cut and make brackets for the metal ball guides?

I just had a crazy idea: Make a LE version of the speaker panel with the same design, sculpted out of Greek marble. It may add freight costs to shipping, but what the heck

I just realized you changed the Escape gate/right return lane to a smooth metal blend. I like it! Looks like a souped-up Fathom return lane. How does the shooter wireform work? Does it stop just above the upper R flipper, to set up a skill shot upstairs, or does it go elsewhere?

I second that.

Crocodile Dundee looks at AFM's 5-way combo and STTNG's Picard combo, then says "That's not a combo, THAT'S a combo!"

Although I wasn't originally buying a WOOLY, it's sad to hear the building won't happen. I hope Scott and Riot can figure out another business plan to give it another shot in the future. The game looks incredible.

I'm happy I got to play WOOLY and meet the Riot design team. What an awesome game! And the music is epic! I forgot the band name, but it sounds like a soundtrack you'd hear in movies like Gladiator or 300. It fit wonderfully. I hope you guys sell a bunch of these!

I agree 1000%. I LOVE the sounds from God of War from the PS consoles. There's a particular female voice who provides narration, and it sounds f'ing awesome. Forgot her name. Another awesome voice actor is David Wenham from the 300 films. If you can find a voice actor with his type of gravitas, that would be so badass. I loved the new music I heard at Expo, you guys should definitely seek voicework with equal badassery!

I'm not saying to get actual celebrities, but find affordable voice actors who can still provide fitting voice samples.
