Pinfest 2017

 

I 'll make a proper video in a week

 

if you want to watch someone shooting the spinner over and over for no points....

 

but it does make a really satisfying sound :D

 

I had a couple goes at Pinfest, and it was a really fun game, congrats.

@kress , I had a game on your machine and was majorly impressed. I know the machine isn't completely finished but that machine has some excellent ideas and it flows well.

 

Something I found other factory machines unable to do.

 

Glad to have such talented people doing HomeBrews on the AA forum and sharing there ideas.

 

I'm sorry I missed you. Would have been nice to have a chat but sooner or later we will catch up.

 

HomeBrew is the future if not for the machines in numbers, the ideas.

 

Thanks for taking the time and showing what is possible.

Kress also had his Lawman there - I loved playing that one too, it really gets you hooked.

Pull the playfield and do another one or sell it to fund another machine I say. They all become depressing to me after a while no matter the make or game.

 

I thought he was referring to Marvin (as that was the model he just added) always saying he was depressed.

 

“Pardon me for breathing, which I never do anyway so I don’t know why I bother to say it, oh god, I’m so depressed”-Marvin

After a year of hiatus I have revisited the idea of getting this game out on site.

Playing it I realised a few things.

 

I needed Marvin! and finally found him at a reasonable price.

 

I still haven't fully enabled player two.

 

The scoring needs some balancing.

 

Video displays and the lower playfield need a cleanup.

 

The game is a little hard (some major features are too difficult to get to ).

I had forgotten just how many intertwined rules are in play....this is NOT a bad thing it was made primarily for me to play .

The rules enable random non chronological events and multiple ways to completion ( the total perspective vortex ).

There is no actual end to the game it constantly increases scores collected during SP M & MB in the Vortex wizard mode...uh ha?

 

I play this game after a break and can be surprised...did i seriously put that mode in there?

 

So this year is cleanup time not just for THHGTTG but for all my pins with a view to having them all at Pinfest in 2019

 

COLOR DEMON

TUMBLEWEED

ELECTRIC ROAD

LAWMAN

THHGTTG

AIRPLANE!

 

we'll see how that goes.

Just an update on Marvin

Since the start of this build the centre shot/s have

been a work in progress and something I've never been content with.

Now I'm content.

There is a Newton Ball below Marvin (lite lock)and a vuk to the left( Ball lock ).

The centre ramp shot has also been tweaked to go around marvin.

The spinner has also been relocated to infront of the vogon.

This has allowed more visibility of the ball in this area.

The monitor to the side of Marvin's head ( speech bubble ) will now display the game status and some complaints Marvin has to offer the player.

The scoring monitor will be just that , scores ,player , Ball ,extra Ball , credits etc.

I still have to relocate the ball lock lighting to the Inserts in front of Marvin and retask the original lock vuk area.
