So.... work on my fan-made Silent Hill Pinball video game continues! For those who never heard of this project, its something I started years ago (before the Silent Hill revival) and I've been working on it here and there for years. It's changed a lot over the years as I learn new skills, and come up with new things I want to add to it. This is not a normal pinball game. As you progress through the game / story, the game's layout / content / visuals change with each location / event. From the foggy town of Silent Hill, to the nightmare Otherworld, to Midwich School, the Grand Hotel, the Hospital, etc. It's a mish-mash of different bits from SH games and the 2006 movie thrown together (made to work with what assets I can get, what works best with this game engine, stuff I simply like, etc). This is not some "lore accurate" retelling of SH1 or the movie. It's a fun fan-made work of passion made by one guy. Please try to look at it that way.
Here's the updated playfield art. I create everything in good old GIMP
Some in-game screenshots...
New Health Bar on the bottom. The lighting will change colours to match your health status, and the flippers / ball with get more and more bloody.
The upper playfield has been updated again, with new ramp shots in the corners that feed the ball beck into play. Each of the 3 main shots now have permanent magnets and "combat play sections" that hold the ball and flash lights to start combat, and attack / shoot / dodge monsters, so they can be killed and allow you to progress in the game. Their health is now shown with their own health bar lights, and they will splat blood each time they are hit.
Updated Inventory / video screen and displays. Now you can see what health drink, syringes, ammo, melee weapons, etc you have. You need to enter the Inventory kicker to activate this menu and hold your ball. Then you can top up your health, change what melee and gun weapons you want active (if found), check maps, etc.
