I started building my cabinets in Dec 2008 hoping to be playing this table by the time they were completed. I've been waiting patiently for 16 months.. I can wait a couple more weeks

Well, while I'm finishing my Fish Tales I've been working on a new TAF.
Yes, I know there are two great WIPs of the same table, but what can I say, it's my favorite table! something inside of me was telling me to do it.
Here's a screenshot of the actual state:



The layout is almost complete. At the moment I'm using solid ramps, I still don't know if I'll use transparencies... I don't like VP transparent ramps still have to think about it.
The bookase is animated (18 steps) and angle independent (I'm using dropwalls) Now I'm playing with the hand, I have some photos of StrangeLeo's hand, I think I can do a good animation.
Hope you like it,

I'm looking for so long for a VP9 version of TAF. keep up the good work It's also one of my favorite pinball table

Hi there.
I didn't have much time, but I made some updates:



Added some lighting, 4 steps GI, new flasher effects, added new plunger and some minor fixings.
It is almost ready. I only have to fix one strange thing from the bookcase, add some nuts and bolts, few transparent plastics change the DMD with the THING letters and I think next week I can release it.
I'm thinking if I should change the bumpers. I'm thinking in using walls so I can fade them in 4 steps...
Hope you like it.

Brilliant. This place really stinks now. *sprays around with air-refresher* Yeah, that's better.

Anyhoo, the table looks like a day-one-download. By the way, PD's TAF could use just a bit of modding for it to work in VP9. Just sayin', though.

Thats awesome melon, looks fantastic. I'm glad to see you are using the 4 step fading gi. it brings a lot of life to the tables that take advantage of it.
Those jp wall bumpers look really good, might be worth a shot. use these ones for the fullscreen version

Very good work melon.

Great Job! Can't wait for the release!

Hi there.
Well, little update, It's almost there...



If anybody wants to beta test it just tell me ok?
There are still some things left, like the flasher effects and the DMD, but it's fully playable.
Hope you like it

I have been playing PacDudes version as of latley and definetly can't wait for your awesome VP9 version Melon,

I like how you made that ramp in the left corner.

[Saphalond]

I am really looking forward to trying this out. I am still playing PD's 7.3 version. This is without doubt my favorite table of all time. Dosen't hurt that I actually dropped tons of quarters into a real machine. Great work!
