Avago present to you the Time Lord pinball game. Our objective was to make a game that looked good, played great and was fun to play. Hopefully we have achieved that but ....Time will tell😁. The Backglass, VPX game, wheel & rules are include this download and a game instruction video available here on Youtube.
https://youtu.be/2HrowxmZe58. You require VPX10.7, Freezy and Flex DMD to run run this game. No ROM is required.
The game is built on a JP Salas game framework using Darks DMD and flashes. It has been a great pleasure to work with JP to produce a game that plays like a great JP Salas inspired table should. Gedankekojote97 applied the latest nFozzy/Roth physics, Fleep sounds, luts, and ramp textures to what we thought was fun game and make it so much better than we ever imagined. DOF is applied to the game only in the 1.0.2 version. VR is in the pipeline with Rajo Joey coming on board and joining the Avago team.
The Game
The game is based on a story by Hayden Perno about an evil imposter who has set himself up as the Time Lord by assassinating the the Master of Time, stealing the throne and banishing Q-man the rightful heir of time, to the far reaches of the galaxy. In the game you must complete 5 tasks to defeat the evil imposter TimeLord and restore Q-Man's position as the true Lord of Time. During gameplay table graphics change, rotating planets appear, dragons eyes follow your every move, rotating clocks can suddenly change direction which are all very nice buuuuut, poor shot selection will be greeted by let's say with commentary by a less than complimentary robot. This game was built for fun and the callouts are a highlight of the game. The ultimate goal of the game is to complete the 5 tasks and the reward is a whole new playfield. The glory table will appear for 60 seconds and you have an opportunity to make glory billions via the the centre spiral ramp.
Table influences
The current version is third 3rd generation & 2 years in the making so many influences can be seen as this table has evolved.
Seeing JP's scripting in Serious Sam was the turning point and his generosity and support to use his ideas and help with the final scripting has made this game possible.
Scotty Wickburgh is also huge influence on this game and you will recognise some of his ideas in rotating bumper caps and a captive ball spinner. Other influences you may notice include the TOTAN style ramps (They were the first objects on the table and remained till the end), the Shovel Knight lifting ramp ramp for ball locks by Wiz and the plunger lane style ramp from Bride of Pinbot. All of these have a Time Lord twist to suit the the Time Lord gameplay and story.
Of course there are many other people to thank. Those who produced the VPinballX framework, freezy, flex dmd and those who run a site to share. Thanks to Flupper & Bord for tutorials & last but not least to Crackers and Mozzie1 for making sure this game was kept real in every way. They made it fun & kept the energy up.

For those people with 7:1 sound setups and are experiencing problems with allocation of Backglass Sounds to the table please see the note I left in the review. This link is to a demonstation of the gameplay and table exciter speakers with the designed setup. The overlay sounds such a the Dragon roar do not cause the flat speakers to distort.
I find that 7.1 SSF enhanced sound setting reduces clarity and separation of the sounds and its not my preferred setting. This is a link to a demonstration of that game
