So this is something I've been working off and on for a few months. It's still quite buggy & incomplete. Heck, I still don't even have barely anything for artwork on it.




Anyone good at compositing/drawing Transformers artwork?

[S1500]

So, any feedback?

It looks pretty interesting. I've looked at the scripting for Visual Pinball tables, and I can't imagine being able to do something like that myself, so I naturally have to give you kudos for what you've made so far. The table would look pretty nice with some decent artwork, but unfortunately I cannot help much there outside of jacking a high-res image from a Google search.

I did not fathom just how much coding is involved for a deep ruleset(mid-90s on up) pinball table. There's a lot of accounting and events to handle. I figure just work on it a couple hours each day. As for artwork, I'm going to just composite images & make up lights. I realized I have a lot more resolution to work with now, which means text & other things won't look so bad.

Hey there S1500, I was just listening to The Pinball Podcastand I noticed those guys review video pinball games in addition to real pinball. If you want to generate a little free advertising for your project, maybe let the hosts know about your Transformers table and see what they think.

Heh, I don't really have a markteable product. Just for fun. Been too busy with Skyrim to work on it lately. There's plenty of people making their own tables, a few on vpforums. One of them makes tables that can only be described as a playable myspace page. Colors to make your eyes bleed!

I looked at one of the recreations of the game "Cyclone" in Future Pinball. remember, no PinMAME emulation. A whopping 16000 lines of code. I was shocked. It made my code look like a hello world program.

I do listen to the pinball podcast now. It's a good show.

Looking pretty good.

Have you seen the new Transformers pinball from Stern? http://www.pinballne...mers/index.html
I got to play one the other day and it is a lot of fun.....

I am working on my own original VP table. It is almost done just a few bugs to work out. Here is a screen....
