No offense, i backed about 180USD. There is no need to explain it mathematically. Why? because the idea behind the project is great. And the project needs some victims. It's a dream which you shouldn't give up. It costs but it's great, just great. I'm so sad.

 

My last reply probably was a little snarky (although I totally was serious about willing to talk to someone if they have serious capital) but I mean the following 100% sincerely:

 

If you are passionate about this and can find others equally passionate, why not form together and start an open source project based on top of the Unreal Engine 4 Pinball Construction Kit I linked?

 

It's really a strong start to build a modern pinball editor on.  Had the Kickstarter succeed I was going to incorporate use a lot of what they had done into Pinball Labs.

 

Then there wouldn't even be a need for money to be involved and it could be a new modern open source solution.  Unreal Engine is 100% free as long as it's not being used for commercial use.

 

I think that's a pretty good idea honestly.  Start a thread about it and see who you can get interested in it.

Tmek,

 

Its possible JDark comes off as rude or insensitive because he is from another country and may not speak native English or running his comments through a translator, at least I hope so. I for one am sad, angry, and disappointed not with you but with what could have been. I am happy to hear you haven't total given up on working on a pinball project in the future. I whole hearty believe if you decide to give it another go it would get funded and in time after a product is completed, you would reap far greater rewards then you think. There are a lot of people who like to play pinball but just don't even know programs like this exist.

 

I am in IT sales and interact with various DBA's, Infrastructure, and Data Center IT customer contacts and when I show them videos of my Pincab they flip the fu*k out. They may not go out and build a pincab but they defiantly would purchase pin sim for their pc, phone/.tablet to play.

 

No one can criticize your level of effort in trying to promote your idea but there were some limiting factors (30 days vs 60, not enough donation tiers, playable table, no paypal) if removed in combination or by themselves would have easily funded the kick stater.

 

I feel like if you gave it a second chance sooner rather then waiting we would still have the momentum and thus have a better chance to make it happen.

 

It's just the way many of us feel and please don't take any offense what I am saying and I totally respect your decision either way,.

 

Thank you, it's what i meant. You are my personally translator
