Hey everyone!  I'm new here, just downloaded VPX recently and started fooling around with it.  I figured I'd post my first table that I'm relatively satisfied with.  Keep in mind I'm no graphic designer or artist, so it doesn't look great, but I'm hoping it's fun to play!

 

Not finished, but I'd like some feedback.

Initial thoughts:

Consider adjusting the slingshots angle/force, because right now once the ball starts bouncing between them it basically always send it to the outlanes.

As the left orbit stands right now, the amount of force to get the ball to the lights is really tight between not making it and always going to the rightmost lane.  You can either make the lights controllable so the player can rely on putting the unlit light on the right, or mess with the physics/shape to get more variation at the end of that orbit.

The diverter seems good (although I'm personally not a fan of them) and doesn't send the ball back down the table too frustratingly.

If you're gonna stick with JPSalas's physics, consider updating to the latest 3.0.1 code, as it has a couple more variables you can tweak to get your ball feeling just right.  Also in there are a lot of useful starting points for material physics settings, and good explanations for what's what.

Haven't managed to get into any special modes, but I'll give it a try again when I have more time! So busy that my own projects are on hold, unfortunately

Thanks for the feedback.  I've continued working on it.  I think I've got the physics updated properly (I'm still very new to the editor, but I'm learning!) and I tried fixing the slingshots, but I'm not 100% satisfied with how they're performing.  I've added some more features to the playfield, too. The download link is the same.

when hitting all upper triggers, the lights aren't turned off. Also didn't see the modes come up. try to add some music and diffrent modes. With creating a table it's playing hours to see of the ball doesn't go right to the outerlanes. also the light has to be higher on the bumpers. I'm also not an artist myself i'll send you a pm to give you some sites and tricks.
