Timelord is a rollicking fun game designed for player of all levels, with hard and easy mode 3 ball or 5 ball options that are selected at the start of the game. Included in the downloads section are the game file, 2 screen and 3 screen back glasses & media pac.

Select your LUT preference at any time during the game by holding down the left magna save and selecting with the right magna save. The VPX lighting is set for the Basseige LUT which is my preference. You can lower the scene lighting in the VPX editor if you prefer a darker or lighter playfield and there is not enough adjustability from the LUTs for your preferred lighting. Scenic is Currently set at 0.1 in the vPX editor.

If you are playing VR set the VRRoom=1 at line 116 of the script.

3.1.1b is a major update with new DMD screens fitting the table character design and less cartoony. There are also change to skill shot gameplay and skill shot value increases for consecutive skill shots. The playfield lighting is much more dynamic with lighting affects for activation of all major and minor awards. The jackpot and super jackpot bug is also fixed in this update so jackpot scores continue to increase then hold at maximum value for the duration of the ball :) There is a new apron design in 3.1.1a and the major fixes are for the rolling ramp bug, redesign of the opening shot area and the dragon nebula. There is fix for the  hologram to sit flat on the table and a nice use  of flashing playfield images at the start of the game and end of ball. It makes the game feel more dynamic. See the Changelog for all changes.

You will need VPinballX 10.8 RC4, Freezy DMD 2.2.2  & FlexDMD 1.9.1 to play the game.

This game is based on an original story stemming from two fellahs spitballing ideas and try to make each other laugh. When you venture into the bizarre world of Kevin, aka Q-Man you have to remember that would much rather hang out in seedy bars with dodgy chicks than take control of the Universe.😁 To add to your torment you a tagged by Luigi the stray Robot who was cast aside by Mario the grape farmer because he kept draining the tractor gearbox for his favourite drink....used sump oil😂.  He's like the donkey in Shrek, unwanted and a serial pest and indelibly connected to Q-man.

To be the TimeLord you must complete  5 incredible dangerous tasks.  You traverse the universe, reverse time ,navigate the wormholes and meteor showers must slay the dragon. Upon completion of the tasks you venture to the glory table, (Wizard mode) . The Glory table gives 80 seconds to shoot the spiral ramp for Glory Billions  and reveal the real hero of the story.

I was very fortunate to work with some talented people in the production TimeLord through 6 generations of the game.  FrankyT does the  gangster style Robot Luigi and the TimeLord. Tomate did the translucent ramps, Oqqsan lighting, ball affects and  clock animations, DOF is done by Outhere, Fleep sounds and nfozzy physics are done by Gedankekojote and Rawd did the Virtual reality. JPSalas is a huge part of the TimeLord project, providing the game framework, many explanations of scripting and he made changes to get a very clunky game to work. It goes with out saying my old mate Crackers advised and checked all the game iterations and changes over 2 years while the game went through 6 iterations. Of course there are many others who have help shaped the game including Sixtoes, Apophis, Remdwass &  Wylte from PinHelp and Rajo Joey who helped shape the game in the early days. Without these people and Smaugs encouragement there would be no TimeLord 2 & 3.

 

I hope you like it and honest reviews and comments are always appreciated.

You will need the latest version of VPinballX10.7, VPinPame 3.5 and latest Freezy DMD is a must although I don't recommend that you select it in the script. I recommend that JPs  DMD flashers are used for cabs, Desktop and VR. These have maximum definition for DMD's and can be used with Pin2DMD's.

The game is designed surround sound feedback. 

For people with DOF TimeLord 2.0 uses the same DOF configuration as the TimeLord 1.0 so the game is set ready to go and should play with no issues.

VR players have the option for a basic room or Rawds room which is selectable in script.

What's New in Version 3.0.9   See changelog

Released

3.0.9 Update is a serrated orbit wall  near the bumpers to prevent the table crash from infinite bumper bouncers at this point. The new serrated wall is more aggressive and designed to force the ball away from the top right bumper. I tried this in single ball and multiball and couldn't get the ball to replicate the infinite bounce crash. Hopefully this version is successful .

The opening ball launch has been modified to prevent the rocket launch and give better control to achieve the skill shot. The ball is intended to bounce a wee bit off the          rubber dividers.

The 3.0.6 update  includes the following 

This is a major modification based on Learnings from Pirates Life. The game plays, looks and sounds much better.

The physics are set the way I always intended. The game is designed to be open, fast and nice flipper control. It's been nice to find the balance and required adjustment of walls and posts to prevent easy drains.

The rolling ball and table sounds are adjusted. Thanks StudlyGoorite for making sure this is just right.

The playfield lights sparkle more thanks to Oqqsan. The major change is additional low power lights for the off state. Every light on the table has been adjusted.

The playfield plastics are now more  blue and this nice a more out of space feel to me. The purple was a little off.

The playfield lighting is adjusted to my new method to make the plastics lighter than the playfield. VPX lighting is extremely powerful for playfield contrast and it has taken me a while to get the hang of this. I adjust all my games with light settings similar to those in this game and Pirates Life. I always start with values similar to those in this game and tweak. 

Callout overlaps are now prevented with unless a callout is critical to the game. 

There is a major change to the TimeLord ball catch and release after wounding the dragon. The catch is reduced to 0.1 seconds to minimise multiple balls being caught. This should eliminate this bug and I haven't been able to repeat the game stall with this mod.

The Reverse time Ball Release to The TimeLord catch area is now also prevented and is an important part of removing the TimeLord catch bug.

Removed script for some Sounds that weren't being used.

The Extra Ball /Advance Time Kicker is now easier to make. This is cool and in my my opinion I found the shot almost impossible to hit before this mod. The game is challenging enough.

Upon completing the Glory table An additional Billion points is added and Luigi glows green and takes control

Please note that there are no .ogg sound files that are applied to the table that caused problems in earlier releases of TimeLord

The first version of this table impressed me greatly with the overall concept, sound design, and modes of play. The complexity and challenge was hands down one of the best experiences I had in 2022. As such, version 1.0 was on my top ten tables of 2022 list. With this update @RusstyT adds more than I ever could have hoped for, including VR, new lights/inserts, and physics updates.

Installation: Straight forward, no fluff. Load and play! Russty even includes a walkthrough of the play with a video link in the table description above.

Play: As mentioned before, this was one of my favorite tables of last year, and now it has improved so much, even the kids are enjoying it more than ever. @RawdVR work is next level amazing, and the physics improvements have REALLY improved my ability to hit the shots I want. Sound design was perfect before, but somehow seriously improved in this version. 2.0 introduces varied play with an Easy and Hard modes. The easy mode allows for progression to happen faster, and my kids absolutely love playing this now.

Graphics: The new playfield lighting/insert and ball shadows work are top notch, this is a huge improvement! The new ramps from @tomate are crisp and amazing to get lost in. The new Dragon disc is very cool, and the table just looks sharp as hell.

Conclusion: Team Avago took an incredible release to the next level here, and It is wonderful to see these collaborations, new authors, and inspired work. You cannot go wrong downloading this, and please leave a like if you enjoy it!

Response from the author:

You fill-in some gaps nicely Smaug. Tomates ramps are a huge part of this release. The ball can be tracked anywhere on the playfield and they sit perfectly into the table. When I first saw them I just couldn't stop looking. He is a craftsman

This is definitely a new favorite of mine.  The graphics and music are beautiful !  At the beginning of the game, the flippers allow you to select easy/hard which is a feature I wish ALL creators would incorporate into their tables.  I'm not the greatest player and find it very frustrating not to be able to experience all tables.  I feel like with this table I can.

 

The play is a dream and feels like a real table.  Physics are incredible and angles are true so that I'm hitting most of what I ame for.  Thank you all for a great table !!!!  Love the story about how it came about.

 

There are only two changes I'd like to see in the future.  1. The numbers to be separated by a "," between the thousands. I find it difficult to easy read the total score because the numbers have no separation that work.  2.  The robot has an Aussie accent.  Usually I have no problem understanding, but am struggling with the robot.  I assume you did the voice Russtyt?  Understood you perfectly on GCC last week.  Maybe have an American accent .  Smauge would be perfect for this I think.

 

Again, thanks for a beautiful.....and more importunately playable game for all! - Pinballgramps

 

Earlier, I said that I have a problem understanding the robot.  After watching Russtyt's video......and playing it more times than I can count, I have to take that back.  I'm beginning to understand everything and am enjoying how much it adds to the table !!!  Again, great job everybody !!!!

 

 

 

Response from the author:

Thanks for interesting review. Straight up and down, what you liked and what what you didn't. The GCC release was blast and I enjoy the banter. The comma between numbers is one downside of TimeLord on a pin2DMD but you should see these in desktop mode and VR or if your DMD is a screen or HD Pin2DMD. The Aussie accent will have to stay. Sorry mate! Russell the Robot has the husky voice from drinking too much sump oil. WE all know how much he love a good 1928 vintage tractor sump oil. Great to share the moment on GCC. So much fun

Had a chance to play this for a little while now  (2.0) Enjoyed the first release and as others have mentioned this up the game a lot! Great concepts, great sound, great visual, what more can you ask for in a table.  It instantly went into the favorite's table and again have really enjoyed it since. Now stop reading reviews and go get the darn table 🙂

It's a great jump betweeen version 1 and 2. I know, how much work it is in the last months.

It plays and sound much better in the v2. And the new rules are fantastic.

 

Only minus point: I liked my VR room and Cabinet Artwork in v1 better. 😂

 

Great work by all involved. It is one of the best original tables. 🤩

Response from the author:

😂 Great to see you up and going again Rajo. People may not understand that I knew very little about pinball and how to build a game and people like you just joined in and made TimeLord 1 happen. TimeLord started with two guys just talking trash and one said to the other we should make a game and write a book and neither had much of a clue how to do either. 😂 And here we are. The journey continue and I've learnt enough to be dangerous.😂 You are and always will be part of the incredible Avago crew who brought TimeLord to life. You are recognised in the attract mode DMD for your contribution to the TimeLord journey. 😊

Man RusstyT & HP this is some next level stuff! I am very impressed with everything about this table. I spent some time with this table today and fell in love. You have won me over with this hidden gem and anyone that don't get a chance to play it are missing out. Thank you to everyone envolved and I hope to see more from you!

I've had the pleasure of putting a lot of hours into playtesting this and the surprising transitions of the table as you progress past completing the letters to be in the wizard mode to what happens after. Easy\Hard mode for those who want a different challenge and just some fun game play.

Response from the author:

Well put JoeSoap and thanks for giving the game a thorough go over. I'm so stoked the game is now accessible to kids and novices to make plays and enjoy some unexpected transitions and light shows. A minor award at the captive ball, "Chained Lightning" is one of my favourite plays. The table goes dark with a clap of thunder and lightning bolt and oqqsans beautiful lights cascade down the table😁

Very nice !
But got a bug when in multiball, I lock one ball in the worm ramp, and then lose the other balls, then the game do nothing, it doesn't release the ball. I resorted to tilt, but still no unlock. Had to quit.

Reply to author : It didn't crash instantly, I was still able to use the flippers, I think it crashed only after I tilted.

Response from the author:

Thankyou for letting me know. There are so many scenarios that can occur. Did the table crash as soon as the ball hit the worm lock. Wondering if a ball was lost if it didn't eject from one of the other locks.

This is hands down the most beautiful, imaginative and unique pinball I have ever seen! That pop bumper cluster is incredible and those ramps!!! The ball winds its way down the invisible ram like a ballet and is pure magic! This is a masterpiece I doubt can be beat!! Also, great playing and fun!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️

Response from the author:

Thankyou for your totally excellent review. Means a lot to see the passion and enjoyment you have for the game. The goal of TimeLord was to be fun, have a laugh and hopefully capture the imagination. I hope you Get to the glory table. The billion shots are a rush and its so satisfying to watch the ball fly around the spiral ramp. I played it in competition in early December and managed to score 12.5Billion in easy 3ball mode. This seems to be the go to mode for competition. Hard mode has a couple of nice callouts in the left lane and left ramp that you don't get in easy mode. Thanks again and have fun

This is a great game.  Super sharp graphics, fast, accurate game play, nice soundtrack that adds a bit of a sense of urgency.  Love the multiballs that arrive in different colors and the 2 "invisible" chutes.  

 

Some skill is required in planning your flips to access the ramps and bumpers up top.

 

Have added to my "original table" favorites list.
