Greetings everyone,

With the world crisis going on - many of us (including me) have been on "stay home and shelter" order.

My work / job / business have been completely shut down - BUT - I was able to turn to VPX, Visual Pinball, and the forums for some distraction / comfort / and pleasure.

Which leads me to this WIP posting here ...

Rascal and I have teamed up to bring the Playboy (Stern 2002) table to VPX.

Rascal did the initial conversion and then opted to do a complete rebuild / rescript adding all the features are functions of the original table.

Features:
- - - - - - - - - - - -

- Complete Rebuild of Table
- Brand New 4k Playfield and Plastics Scan + Recreation
- Brand New Backglass / Translate Scan + New B2S
- New Toys Rebuild, Features, and Functions
- New Lighting FX
- Various Script Options for Look / Gameplay (Ie: Nudity, Non-Nudity, Classic)
+ More

Rascal has done an amazing job with getting this table running / looking to the quality many VPX users expect these days. With him doing the layout, functions and scripting, and with me doing the graphics, it has been a very positive and enjoyable experience.

In the grand scheme of what is happening in the world right now - this announcement is minuscule, but, I thought perhaps this glimmer of something good coming soon might brighten your day a little.

Stay Tuned.

 

As always - I (we) hope everyone, their families, and loved ones stay safe and healthy.

P.S. This is NOT an April Fools joke.

Love it, thanks. I have always wondered why this table was overlooked

[cestmoi]

Bravo et merci prenez soin de vous !

[rascal]

I got to say this table is looking awesome so far. HiRez00's redraws are the best!!! And his hawkeye inspection skills keep me in line, since my eyes are terrible these days.

[hayhu1m]

HiRez00 is the best

Any sneak peek pics?

One of my favorites.    So glad this is coming to VPX.    Hope it includes the adult cards with rescan/redraw.    Thanks so much for your work.

All three of them?

Sorry that we can't post a screenshot of this table yet. You know its super top secret stuff. Even I got locked out of the production server. I knew the password was "bunny20", but I didn't remember how to spell it. Its really under close wraps at this time, but we dug up old Hugh and let him look at it. I think you can tell by his expression, that he approves. No cameras were allowed at this meeting so a court illustrator was brought in to draw him.

He's really holding up quite well considering. The truth is, it looks terrible and we just plan on dumping it and then ignoring all critics afterwards.

Looking good

[naboodiver]

Wow,   Looks great.    The playfield is amazing.    Can't wait to unfold  that centerfold.          I loved the old V9 version but this one is the bomb.
