My research shows that many pinball tables are designed in CAD first, before made into actual tables. There is also a need for more good pinball tables.
 
I propose that we pull our various talents, using VPX, to make perhaps three of the best pinball MACHINES ever made. We include necessary marketers or investors, who share the profit.

I am on the table design TEAM, and do ALL of the coding.

Add theme concept/table-rules (not PIMP!), DMD animations, art, including decorative panels or toys, better lighting. And there you have it!

If agreed upon, these tables can be the first with tiny lasers and a tiny fog machine.[servicing three cubic feet VS. thousands of cubic feet]

What is special about MY designs? All pinball tables are not equal....  
 
My love for pinball machines is very discriminating. I find many tables boring and no fun. Generic. It is the actual physical design and play of the table that is the deal-maker/deal-breaker. Pinball tables are fun to me because of the table design most of all.
 
The table design of pinball machines are like poems. Any child can write a poem, but a true poet creates a profoundly better one.

I have designed pinball machines on paper for decades. I also do architecture, and ergonomic product design and innovation. I have given much thought to table design, and what it is that makes pinball fun. I am confident as a matter of competence and experience, with forward motion or completion of various high level projects a part of my daily life.

I can collaborate table design with others, develop new tables. By myself I made one complete machine, slightly upscale (more features, games) of a STERN type table. The coding is profound, designed to be modular and an easy frame for other tables.

The way it allows you to enter initials for a high score is a video mode. With a few GIFs it is easy peezy to put in a dedicated video mode.

Join me and lets PIMP out some wicked tables! We could very well make plenty if our tables go viral [because of the lasers and fog] or are featured on Good Morning America or something.

If not, we should at least get our own table and a few dollars, and pinball fame.

LOL!

What ar you laughing at?

 

tHE coding is profound.

 

PROFOUND!

Pinball machines are like onions.  Onions have layers.

The secret is... lasers and fog.

What about a pinball machine with an egg shaped ball? Not that anyone needs it, but it's something else at least.

Okay, Albert, now we're onto something.  You play carefully with an egg-shaped ball until it breaks, then you have a much smaller yolk for a ball that trails slimy egg white everywhere it goes. The yolk, having much less mass, is considerably harder to score with, but is easier to aim because it is round.

 

Well, I've done my part...  Time for an adult beverage.

A fog machine is missing from many pingball games. We can have our own tv show like Pimp my Ride but instead its called Pimp my Pinball.

there is no lack of "foggy" table here that is for sure.... but this fool thinks this is something desirable... and its not and never will be....

Don't get me wrong. There are quite a number of talented people here that probably could get paid for their skills, but I think he is missing the point of why most people are doing this. FUN!!!

at least dracula had a mist multiball toy!

I think he should move on to bigger better things, he should work for fartsight... I did see they were looking for signspiners to go along with there kickstarter panhandling...

In future versions of VPX, this would be easily to reproduce with an infinite, never vanishing ball trail.

The yolk, having much less mass, is considerably harder to score with, but is easier to aim...

 This would be a benefit for FP.

Ridiculous. Maybe it's SlamTilt in disguise.
