As the title says, anyone planning to make it?

Thanks, didn't find the thread by searching. So, foo fighters maybe available if someone starts doing it 2026 onwards (released early 2023)? I also noticed that foo fighters entered the Stern Vault, although the concept is new to me:

Also man, if somebody could make the Black Knight Sword of Rage. One guy posts promising videos on youtube now and then, hopefully the development proceeds till the end!

There's a playable version of BKSOR available here, but I would consider it more a WIP: https://virtualpinba...s?game=n7uv_bjw

Also, since they are not ROM-based I wouldn't hold my breath for anything released after 2015. We do have full recreations for Game of thrones and Iron Maiden but these were hand coded by VPW and a massive undertaking, it's doubtful we'll see many of the later Stern tables reproduced even after the x years grace period.

Thanks for bringing my feet back to earth. I should play only the old real pins and not to tease myself Luckily there are many other gems that are available both physically and digitally.

I actually have the VPX table layout almost finished, only missing the script. But I don't like either the theme/graphics, which is a poor copy of Scooby Doo, nor their music. So I'm waiting for some kind of inspiration to adapt those rules to a new theme. Similar to what I did with Mago de Oz, which was based on the Stern's Iron Maiden table, with similar rules, but a different theme, based on the Spanish group Mago de Oz (who kindly sent me all their LP covers in high resolution ).

 

I really like the rules and the layout of Foo Fighters, and I have played the real table several times, so I guess sooner or later I'll finish it But I still don't know the theme I'll use

That's funny because im at the same point as JP. I love the flow of the table, but personally not a fan enough to really enjoy the theme. I scratch built the layout too and it is also waiting for a theme. The major difference in my layout is the captive ball area. On mine it acts like the Tortuga lock on POTC. The ball goes in and spins up hitting targets around the perimeter, then gets spit out into the orbit.

Whoa, thanks guys! I do like the Foo fighters as is, but stylish modifications of the aesthetics are welcome. Are you making the upper tables as well?

[Fusionwerks]

i didnt bother, but as i said before its still just waiting for a theme. I also took some creative liberties and changed some other stuff, so its not exact. Its built on JP's SS2 Table code

Looking good, keep on good work!

I figured out something. Maybe there are other people liking the Foo fighters theme and capable of making VPX tables. I unfortunately lack the skill, although if I would have the time I would like to learn making tables myself. But could you guys perhaps share your initial works so that somebody else could finalize them with the original theme? And are there any interested capable pinners here?

[jpsalas]

I can upload my table when I come back home in 14 days, I'm in Spain just now, and I do not have the table with me My table have most of the FF graphics done, but there aren't many people who can make the script. My first idea for a theme was a Horrorburg 2, but I'm a little tired of horror themes, so I'll keep thinking

I was working on an original for this, but I can't do graphics.

Hahaha, he looks like  funny guy1  But I don't think I'll use him for a theme

Not to sound greedy, but I'm keeping mine until the right theme comes my way. With the time I end up investing in making an original table, I have to REALLY be interested. Lol

I played the Foo Fighters a while ago, I wasn't super impressed. It looks like today's new pins are looking more like our cabs with the large "DMD" screens.

 

I'll just put the latest picture out there in case anyone's interested (probably not lol).

I didn't think there was any footage from when I had my CDL!!

Just googled about a Foo Fighters table in VPX and came across this thread. Seriously if JP is working on a FF table I am so in. I cannot wait. JP Salas has made some of my favorite games to play!

[jpsalas]

This is what I have for now:

 

The table was released in 2023, but when it went out of production? By the site's rules we can make a Stern table 3 years after is out of production, so it might take some time to finish it  

 

Still I think the table is about a rock band fighting aliens and building a robot. With a cartoon theme that remembers me of Scooby Doo. I still don't like the music nor the theme's art, and I'm still searching for a theme that hits me, like "Yes, that's the theme". Someone suggested me to make a Heroes of Might & Magic 3, but I'm not sure yet if I'll use that. Maybe I'll make the table with the FF theme because I like fighting aliens and building robots  

[brefreez]

FF table looks awesome! Also Svengoolie FTW!
