Welcome to my first VPX table!

As an avid player of Diablo 2 for the last 26 years, I knew as soon as I got the inkling to create my very own table... It had to be Diablo 2.

About 3 months of feverish work went into crafting this and I think both Diablo 2 and Pinball fans alike are going to get a real thrill out of it.

There are very helpful FULLY VOICED live tutorials IN GAME.
You must hold both flippers during attract mode to access the tutorials and then you can navigate them via the flippers.
StartGame button exits tutorials whenever and returns to attract.

Additionally, there is an extensive and detailed rulesheet PDF for your reading pleasure.
The table itself will tell you a lot about what's happening as well between lights, callouts and a deep DMD system, but the rulesheet can really ground you in the details.

All 5 iconic Acts of Diablo 2 are here to be enjoyed with each boss, music and enemies... Plus something special for the fans in the Wizard Mode/Act 6.
Like Diablo 2, this game is cutthroat, but you will be rewarded for your skill.

3 VR rooms: Mixed Reality, Minimal and a custom Mega Room I put together.

 

**Mixed Reality uses Magenta 255, 0, 255. If you want to change it to White or something else, all you need to do is, in the editor, search "Sphere" in the layers panel, double click it, go to its properties and scroll down to Modulate Color. Click the color box and set to whatever you want. Then save. 

 

The artistic intention for day/night setting is about 12-13%. 

Check F12 for options/feature toggles.

The table has the features VPX fans have come to expect: Nfozzy, Fleep, Flupper bumpers/flashers and a quality FlexDMD. BIG THANKS to the VPW team for their Resource table and YouTube series.

This is over 13000 lines of code and a lot of interwoven systems with basically RPG math underneath and I am just one guy with a Claude Max plan, so while the game is bug free as far as *I* know it, you may run into things as you play. I do plan to support this project going forward and possibly add more content. I have ideas. I am having my firstborn this August, and this table is in a great spot as is, so it was time to release... Oh, and DIABLO 2 RELEASED on the 28th of June in 2000... So that's fun. Celebrate that by downloading my table.

Extra special thanks to my boys @MekelburgJ and @Krobs for playtesting this for months with me and giving their feedback. They have been in this thing with me from early on. Also special thanks to @Burger for his expertise, advice and creating a B2S for you VPin folks (im all VR, sorry). The B2S is one photo, but in VR you can select from 4 backglass photos - 2 classic and 2 new.

I hope people have a blast with this and get sucked into it's systems and presentation the way my buddies and I have. Please let me know what you think in the comments/reviews. Long live Diablo 2.

Released

Thank you all for playing and all the great comments and reviews since launch. I have been taking in feedback, finding bugs myself and overall just adding a little more polish and balance to things.

It's a pretty substantial update all things considered... It has some playfield changes that do really improve the flow and fun of the game, as well as bug fixes and performance fixes.

 

Gameplay Changes:
- Whirlwind charges carry over between balls
- Ball saves trigger automatically now when outlane trigger is hit during ball save
- All ball saves should now route through plunger lane only and auto-fire back to portal (way less chaotic)
- Ball saves persist through duration of ball save. Previously was one-and-done consume
- Tilt now cancels end of ball bonuses

 

***Playfield Changes***
- New  flipper added near cube in place of the red rubber band that didn't do much. This means better/more access to orbit, boss hit, leap shot, rune scoop, rune letters
- Different playfield boss spinners/turntables for better visibility when they spin 

Arcade& Coin-Op Games

- Fixed ball return from right orbit/mystery chest ramp. Should bump a post now and redirect to the left flipper under normal circumstances instead of flirting with a SDTM drain.

 

DMD Changes:
- New "HURRY UP!" on DMD for Ambushes so people know its a hurry up mode for points.

 

F12 Options Changes:
- You can now toggle dirty glass (original) or clean in F12
- Restored Lord of Destruction image that was missing for backglass art

 

Bug/Performance Fixes:
- Repaired a severe performance issue related to Playfield Reflections, so performance with reflections on should improve a bit (or a lot, depending on hardware)
- Solved performance drops on wire ramp ball interactions
- Fixed a rare kicker edge case where ambush kicker held ball indefinitely
- Fixed an issue where Mercenary multiball spawn got cut off during other multiballs in a specific edge case
- Fixed an issue where boss lights and captive ball system initiates/shows, but callout is delayed due to current callout already playing. It now takes precedent when a boss mode is triggered and you get the full lights/callout at once.

Thanks again and hope you all enjoy the new update... Let me know if the comments/reviews! And please report any issues you have.

No way this is your first table, you must have summoned some evil spirits to gain an unnatural advantage!

 

Totally immersive experience from the second the table appears on the screen! I love the dark sinister look and the incredible music and sounds. Fun gameplay with great physics! So glad you included such super instructions so that people lazy about learning rules (like me) have an idea what to shoot for!

 

It's fantastic and has a place on my cabinet, I'm actually excited over here waiting for the first wheel to come out!

 

 

Response from the author:

Thanks so much, Burger! To have you assist in getting this to the finish line and ALSO genuinely enjoy it is a real treat.

Because of NewLeaf88 sharing this table, mentioning his friend Krobs...
I came here and as for my love for Diablo 2 as well, I needed to try this out. Did not play much so far, but because it is your first table. I wanted to write a review (my first ever actually). Just wanted to push this amazing work on this platform. While playing this, you really want to start up Diablo 2 again. That says it all. You have done great work on this table! Wow!

Response from the author:

Reviews like these really put me on cloud 9, thank you so much. I just watched his gameplay! So surreal to see someone in the wild playing it. I think I'll post a developer gameplay video soon too, come to think of it...!

This table is great! lots of sound and call outs. Great modes. 

Love the spoken instructions before the game.

 

Very well done! Superb First table! Thank you for your work on this!

Response from the author:

Thank you! I haven't had a creative project take complete hold of me in quite some time like this one has. I'm glad people see what I see in it as well. Happy demon slaying!

Fantastic.  The music, visuals, modes, and gameplay all capture that nostalgic vibe I'm sure many of us cut our teeth on back in the day.   This game will forever hold up.  This tribute is a treasure.   The replay value on this one is strong.   Deep, multiple modes and progressions.   Things really pick up the longer you play.  Its worth exploring all this table has to offer.  I sure will stay awhile and play : )   1.1 update is 🔥 too.   Performance is humming now for us with lower end rigs or formats.    Thanks Chuck!

Very awesome table, gonna grind some hours into it today. I absolutely LOVE that you put the “tristram” acoustic audio track in it, that is something i always play on guitar when im feeling froggy. Love that track. I joked with loadedweapon this week that i might need to put together a fully functional pup for this, me and him play diablo a lot.  Awesome work man, i volunteer to help with a pup in the future

Response from the author:

HELL yes dude. So hype that you're hype. Please, play the piss out of this table. There's a lot to sink your teeth into. A Pup sounds awesome. I don't know the first thing about making them, so more power to you. Glad it's inspiring creativity.

This table is absolutely a blast ! what a flow, great shots, great modes, great speed , great fun...it looks like a Stevie Ritchie pin at its best !

It just needs some graphical updates to make it even more appealing, but the gameplay is absolutely at levels never seen before.

I'm pretty sure that if you suggested this layout to Stern or JJP, they would definitely produce the real pinball machine.

Response from the author:

I don't know if there's a higher praise possible than this. Thank you! I hear you on the, what I assume is, a playfield criticism mainly and I agree there's room for something more visually grabbing, but I have next to no graphic design skills unfortunately. I decided to lean into my shot layout and game design strengths instead, but maybe someday someone will bring me a stellar playfield art to add. 

 

Thrilled you're enjoying it! It's such a rush when you get things going.

From the second you warp through the town portal, you are thrown back into the world of Diablo 2. Fantastic job and super impressive. Deceptively simple layout and very immersive. Great music and sound too. Can't wait to see what you come up with next! 

Response from the author:

Thanks for the support and I'm thrilled that you're enjoying it so much!

Congrats Mr. Ribbits on creating one hell of a table!  I know all the hard work you put into it down in the cellar :)  You created a highly addictive game that i keep going back to.   It's mind blowing this is your first project!!   Congrats again my friend 🥂🍾

 

 

 

 

Response from the author:

Krobs! You made it! 😂 You may have packed up the bin but not the pride. Thanks for the review buddy, your feedback was integral throughout as I weaved together these systems and ideas. I know the bin won't be gone for long and you'll be back to grinding for Extra Ball #2 in no time. 

 

I may have created a Diablo 2 fan, we'll see!

Hell yes, we are blessed with new originals coming out nearly every day but on such an incredibly high level. Well done, extraordinary package.

Great first creation, I love these tables where you immediatly understand the mission and what to aim. Very nice and readble design.

Response from the author:

That is excellent to hear. Thanks for the great review. I thought the tutorials in game would be a nice touch to just cut to the chase about what's what. Definitely worth the effort I think.

 

And then the table itself during play is making a lot known to the player. Glad you appreciate that.

Response from the author:

I love that Diablo 2 is a core memory with your Dad. I told my Dad I wanted Diablo 2 for Christmas when I was 10 and he said "you'll get what you get and you won't get upset"... (Got it anyways) Enjoy the table and the memories buddy
