Timelord is 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. Set the table tone you like by holding left magna save and toggling with right magna save to get the desired effect for your table.

TimeLord 4.1a has some important updates for single and multi player play. I recommend that you upgrade to this version and remove previous versions of timeLord. See Changelog for the full list of changes. The game, a 2/ 3 screen backglass and new wheel is included in the 4.1a download.

The 3 screen interactive backglass also works for desktop with Const ForceBackglass=1 at line 155 of script which already set in the script..

If playing VR set VR =1 or 2 at line 60. (Please note: JP's Flashers are currently used in VR and we are working on an interactive backglass for VR for release at a later date)

Thankyou to Oqqsan for  making the incredible 2 screen/3 screen interactive back glass come to life. Thankyou also to the previous Members of Avago are always credited with the product we have today.

Thankyou also to the many members of the community have made suggestions that have been implemented in the game. It has been a long journey.

I've tested the 4.1a version extensively, in 1,2 & 3 players hard mode and easy mode, 3 ball and 5 ball, finishing balls with and without completing the glory table and I couldn't break it. i'm hoping you can't either and get to dial in the spiral ramp for glory billions

cheers :) 

 

I'm also very proud to announce that my TimeLord banter cohort Hayden Perno, has had his first book published. Ralph Ridley in the Hunt for Time. His book is available from Hawkeye Publishing and you can check it out at ralphridley.com It is a cleverly constructed story about a boy who doesn't age and searches the Universe for the answers to his quantum curse. Hayden's story extends Einsteins' theory of relativity and stephen hawkins 7 Arrows of time. It takes you on a journey to the far reaches of the Universe and to where time stands still and incredible creatures live. It's definitely worth a read..

The Time Lord Story

Timelord is my version of stories between Hayden Perno and myself. We spit balled stories to try to make each other laugh and make small skits while training in the Gym. In my story you venture into the bizarre world of Kevin, aka Q-Man. Kevin would much rather hang out in seedy bars with dodgy chicks than take control of the Universe.😁 To add to his torment, he is tagged by Luigi the stray Robot. Luigi 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 in this game 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 60 seconds to shoot the spiral ramp for Glory Billions  and reveal the real hero of the story.

I hope you enjoy TimeLord and it brightens up your day.

 

The Avago Crew

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 did the new interactive backglass animations, the 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 or 4. The new look for 4 was encouraged by LTEK and the new backglass implemented to celebrate the release of Hayden Perno's book.

 

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

What's New in Version 3.0.4   See changelog

Released

This 3.0.4 version has further bug fixes than the 3.0.3 version for spiral ramp award not registering in first TimeWarp jackpot & billions shot. Hard/Easy Triggers have been removed and script changes  made simplify the script and make Hard and easy mode jackpots the same including the same 60 second timer. First & 2nd jackpots are now 300 million and 3rd is a 400 million. Reflecting on the game this brings more focus to the centre ramp shot and gets the eye in for the glory billions. 

The wormhole super jackpot of 350 million is the same for both hard and easy mode.

Also included in this release are;

A new apron to reflect the new rules

The Glory table now has  coloured dragon multiballs.

Callout fixes when going past the glory table

Wormhole gate reset in reset modes

Luigi the Robot now appears at the end of the glory table replacing a rather indignant Russell the Robot.

These changes have made a significant change to the game rules that will make it more fun for players of all levels. Hitting a jackpot with lots of coloured balls flying around is no mean feat and racking up 300 million for a single shot adds a joy to watching the ball orbit around the spiral loop. I feel this fits very much this is how wanted the game to be from the start.

 

The main point of difference between hard and easy mode in this version to 3.0.3 is the number of shots to make Meteor Shower multiball and Timewarp multiball. Reflecting on the game being played in competition this is a significant step up if you want to play hard. Playing hard has a couple of nice callouts on the way to making the multiballs that you don't get in easy mode and gives the player a fuller story of Q-mans journey.

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 🙂

Been a while since I played the original, but I gotta say. This new edition totally blew me away!  Physics and  the flow of the table felt a lot better. I also found the flippers to be  super responsive on my mediocre PC. Visually it is extremely impressive, and sound wise it truly delivers. This  new edition of Timelord  is most definitely up there amongst the best original tables ever created. Thank for making me revisit this amazing table @RusstyT I higly recommend everyone to download 4.0.1, you will NOT be disappointed!

Response from the author:

Oh wow. Straight from the heart. Thankyou. All the best. Russ :)

Amazing work !! I an jealous of your design and develop skills ;)
Im very happy that it works on VPX 10.7.
Thank you so much.

Response from the author:

Thankyou very much for your kind words. To develop this game pushed every bit of energy I could muster. My wife said I looked haunted doing this game and forbade me from doing another. So being the good husband that I am compromised and did one more and burnt out again. 😂

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😁

Wow, wow, wow! Once you get going on this table there's no stopping! Multiball is so much fun. The call outs are a great, changing playfields, colored balls. It's madness in the best possible way. What an absolute gem this table is! Stellar job @RusstyT

Great work. Great table. Great soundtrack (immersive). Great update.

There are few original tables that bring the true feeling of how to play pinball.

Firstly, because of the theme where many are close to pc games.

Secondly, because of the rendering of the objects that in many cases leave the form of pc games and not a close to a real pinball objects.

However, some original tables are excellent in quality and in the theme of the game.

Thank you very much @Russty and all your team

for another great original table, BackGlass, SoundTrack and DMD display.

Amazing, amazing....

Response from the author:

Thankyou Emanoel. It was a lot of fun writing the story and changing the story along the way. I had lots of laughs with HP and Franky T doing the callouts. It may seem odd that I'd played little pinball and I'm not a gamer. It's probably why the game is a miss mash of space, fantasy & a good dose of imagination. All the Best. Russ :)

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.
