yes i played it quite a few times so i have a pretty good idea of how it should play. The problem was i kept going back to that pinball magic. what a great game

These two machines look awesome. I can't wait to play them.

And you are right, Pinball Magic is fantastic. I can't wait to see your take on that game. And let me know when you do start that project, as I will do whatever I can to get you pictures from my Pinball Magic for that project.

I will definately be needing some pics from you. I may get body dump in contact with you as he is redrawing the pf and all the plastics for me. I'll definately need some pics of the wand, and maybe some refrence shots of the table for building it so i can place the proper pegs and what not on the table. and a nice top down bumper cap shot, wait, back to the project at hand.

Started on the ss and heart ramp. This heart ramp is a real pain to get right. Should be done soon. The ss may be a pain as well

(Pinball Magic) I have some source material for this game if you need it - the script should be fine for VP9 in the existing table too.

that would be awesome Brian. I only have the few pics I got at cax. but the light was bad and the glass is on. I'll have to check the vp8 version to see how you did the loop ramp. not sure how I'm gonna do that yet

Dude a billion points, all I am saying. BoP is the best of the 3. I am biased, but it is. Bringing a real BoP table to life is just awesome.

Dude, just nudge the table while the ball is still high on the playfield to give it more time to roll away from the drain. .

This is the number one mistake that I see people making when playing on my cabinet. In pinball, you really need to foresee the physics before they happen and react before a problem occurs.

Can't wait to see those tables finished , as BOP is one of my favourites ( and my wife's too ).
I have a strong memory of that machine because the day my father busted me smoking I went out and spent the whole evening with a brand new one.

Thanks to all the guys who make this possible , you are geniuses.

Hi Unclewilly! I know you and your team are great at lightning and flashers; The Machine:Bride of Pinbot has some wonderful light effects, especially when she comes alive, the playfield is dark and you hear and see her heartbeat ticking, such an exciting moment! Just a tip from an experienced player: Make the playfield look a little bit dark so we can all enjoy the wonderful lightnings of this thrilling table...:-)

I'm sure you've seen some of my tables. I love them dark, darker than most people like. it reminds me of the bar in which i actually get to play some real tables. trust me, this one will be nice and dark. I have a new found love for flasher effects. brings so much realism to a table.

I will release a texture pack though with brighter images for those who are afraid of the dark

[unclewilly]

had some time between jobs today.
the heart ramp is done for the most part, I think it looks all right

[powerchisper]

Looks awesome !!!

It wolud be for me a pleasure to test it , I have played a lot in the real machine.
When you get the helmet and the rocket ramp it will be gorgeous.
I am hitting my head against the wall , its a shame that I'm so bad at VP.

I have tried to start a brand new Dracula and don't even know where to start.

My wife also says PinBot is gonna be cool too.

Good job friend.

Almost a week goes by and there's no update?!? We're starving pinball serfs, waiting for news!! Hope all is going well and I just want to say, I can't wait to "Meet the Parents".


Best Regards,

i'm getting killed at work this week and next week, it's restaurant week in baltimore and both my jobs are crazy busy. I haven't had much time to put in, and i'm also working on the lighting for rawds triple strike as well.
I did manage to get the shuttle ramp done next on to the mini pf, then the helmet and cosmetic stuff
