Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted April 17, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted April 17, 2014 minor progress, moving slow edit
Loafmeister Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 It's starting to look less and less blurry and damn decent! Keep up the good work FA!
etherealmusic478 Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 This table looks truly awesome! Can't wait to play it! I've played the real thing many times, so If you need assistance in how the table plays, feel free to send me a BETA of it! I'd be glad to help!
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted April 17, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted April 17, 2014 Damn I didn't realize I uploaded an outdated shot, the one above is now current as of last night. new pop bumpers, primitive flippers (pool stick decal), pool balls added, new backdrop, new apron a few nuts and bolts and screws added.... Tonight I will fix the plunger, add the cue ball, maybe add flasher objects, and if I can get the right image, the pool stick will be added. etherealmusic478 that would be appreciated. I've got one locally but have a hard time comparing my own table (I walk away saying...close enough) after I do a couple updates tonight I'll send you a link, and just let me know what should be changed to improve play
Shadowsclassic Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 That's funny! I was going back and fourth between the screen shots and I was like "I can't find the changes" good one!
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted April 18, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted April 18, 2014 gameplay last night, as you can see the ramps need work and still need a ton of plastics and then some glitter and lipstick to pretty it up. full table gi? you can see working center post save at 3:20, the left and right post saves also work. pressing both left and right gives you the center post. the buttons are tied to magnasaves
Loafmeister Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 That looks pretty good in what I think is a fairly short time in development!
etherealmusic478 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Looking great indeed! Can't wait to play the final product!
gigalula Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 Yep another nice table Thanks to share the progression it's really looking good.
Content Provider Rascal Posted April 22, 2014 Content Provider Posted April 22, 2014 Looking good, Fren, keep up the good work.
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted April 23, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted April 23, 2014 Thank you everyone for the kind words! It means a lot. I've been so impressed by all the great tables everyone has created over the years. I have always admired the work that has gone into these, and working on this for the past few weeks has only solidified that feeling. It takes so much more work than I ever though. Something as simple as flashers (the 12 on the backdrop) took several hours last night and even this morning it still wasn't perfect. They're fixed now and I was able to get some more things added. Again, minor, but it FEELS like a major accomplishment. Today I was able to get sphere primitives for the balls but most of the time was spent trying to get a working texture map for them. I got one pretty close (the 1 ball, obviously) and will fix them all up with the correct balls between now and release. There's still many bugs that will likely require the assistance of someone with greater coding skills than I have (admittedly, not much) Between this point and it's release, most of the time will be spent making it look visually good. Obviously I need to darken the textures and create more of an "atmosphere" This will be my last update until release, until then.... And a bit of a Playfield video
ElRato Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Definitely looking cab-worthy, pretty amazing that this is your first go at building a table, looks great so far.
Shadowsclassic Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 It only takes me trying to update an older table to Alpha Ramps to realize how monumental table building is! You seem to have risen to the challenge quite nicely though! Give yourself a great big pat on the back, but don't hurt your arm you got more coding to do.
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted April 29, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted April 29, 2014 Alright I lied, it's taking me longer than I want it too. New balls all around, new flashers, pretty screws added, couple minor things. Right now I am just cleaning it up. Still script issues.
randr Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I agree. Nice balls lol! I would use what you have. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's unfortunate, with the effect I am trying to achieve, I feel like we're severely limited by the functionality of VP. If we get great, true 3D support in VP10, then I will circle back around and do this the right way. I am just expecting too much out of VP Essentially, with a sphere obj, I'd still have to fake it, so if I have to fake it I might as well do it and get the effect I want.
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted May 14, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted May 14, 2014 I'm back. 2 weeks max til release. Really would love to get a playtester or two. The two I enlisted previously have gone missing (ahem, DAZZ and ehterealmusic478639) - not that it matters, I realized how much was missing in the meantime. Until release day comes, here's how she is looking! quick vid
PinballPais Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Looks awesome. Looking forward to it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Content Provider arngrim Posted May 14, 2014 Content Provider Posted May 14, 2014 Count me in so i can prepare the dof at my ease
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted May 14, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted May 14, 2014 Count me in so i can prepare the dof at my ease How soon do you need it? I've got to make some minor changes to it (mostly cosmetic), will it work for you right now?
Content Provider edizzle Posted May 14, 2014 Content Provider Posted May 14, 2014 Wow, the reflections on the balls are a very nice effect and attention to detail!
Content Provider arngrim Posted May 15, 2014 Content Provider Posted May 15, 2014 we need a db2s, Ken? without white flashes?
