Verry early days, but this layout has a theme idea attached, so I thought I'd wack the layout screenshot up for your perusal. Obviously the playfield art is not done, nor is the translight. Or the plastics. Or the DMD. Or the sounds or music. But it's a playing layout

Bet you can't guess what it's about... LOL /sarcasm

So, I haven't actually played any of your tables (haven't had enough free time at my pc to dig in to installing FP or VP8/9) but I've seen them and they are very tempting. This one looks cool as well!

Spent a couple hours downloading and playing some of your tables, so I figured I'd report back here .  My favorites of those I played are "War of the Worlds" (I honestly love this one and want to see it updated - not ashamed to admit the multiball made me panic), "The Door into Summer" (great EM), and "Fire Power Tribute".  I also liked "Goblin Games" but the theming and sounds make me grind my teeth (which...may be intended?) and "Dr. Rollover's Lab" (I'd probably love this one, but playing in VP9 pulls the ball left and VP8 just crashes )

 

As I thought from seeing them, your tables have a lot of good ideas and love put in!  When I eventually install FP, I'll come back and try your newer tables as well. 

 

Cheers!

Thanks so much for the feedback, and for giving them a go! I'm so glad you like them. Some tables back in the day were hit and miss but I always tried to keep things interesting. And yeah, goblin games was intentionally bombastic, not sure what I was on about there!

All my old VP tables are MOD allowed these days since its been so long, so maybe somebody will do an update if I never get around to it.

I have verry little time for working on tables recently and into the foreseeable future, but I will continue on this one all the same. So here is a slightly updated screenshot.

I didn't capture any advanced gameplay iir modes, but here is a video of this table so far.

Almost finished with this table. just solved an issue with corrupt sound files. Just some final tweaks and a couple of score events for the ramps and some testing, and it will be done.

 

Rule set: 

 

5 bank:

Light BUGGY to open first lock

Visit the dunes by locking 1st ball (far back left corner of table, behind platform) to open second 

Visit the lifeguard by locking 2nd to open guards tower (3rd lock) 

At any time, hit centre kicker to release any locks. 

Release all at once for 4 ball multi!

 

Racecourse mode:

Also dropping the 5 bank activates racecourse mode, lighting first checkpoint at left ramp. 

hit the ramp to light second and then third etc. Six check points in all, each worth double the last.

 

3 bank:

Light CAR targets to light the bumper lamp for 3x bumpers.

 

Light top lanes for bonus mulitplier

 

Light SAND (in/out lanes) for ballsaver.

 

Shoot ramp for "ridge" to access the raised playfield via the back dunes ramp. Once there, light DUNES to light the hill. Then shoot the ramp again for BIG DUNE (50k) and light DUNES again to start ESACPE MODE (shoot the three main playfield kcikers to spell CAR on the DMD to escape the beach patrol - 50k)

 

Left kicker behind ramp closes outlane diverters for 30 seconds

 

Shooting the ramp will light the incremental score lights, starting at 500 and doubling for each one lit, the same way the loop lane to the bumpers works on the right.

 

Light D and B (two target bank) to light the channel behind them. Shoot the channel while lit for head to head dune race mode (two ball quick multiball).

 

left habitrail and right hand return ramp both score 15k at the opto trigger.
