Arcooda Email thoughts...

[BrandonLaw]

So as an Arcooda supporter meaning someone who shilled out the 150$ for the software that ended up basically shitting the bed getting not more than a half-a-dozen plays on the cabinet before it was put back into the steam library...

 

woke up to this email.  I'll let y'all chew on it if you didn't get it:

 

 

Dear Brandon,

In the last few months, we’ve been posting a lot about our history and the problems that have hindered us. We wanted to do this to shine a light on some of the behind the scenes work with you, our loyal customers. With all this history now laid out in the open, we would like to introduce some new and innovative concepts we believe are going to change the pinball landscape.

-       Arcooda Pinball
-       Pinball Forest   
-       Pinball Apps
-       Pinball Maker

Our official launch is tomorrow, and over these next week we will publish information for all the new development. However, we wanted to share this information before we make it public.

Arcooda Pinball covers many projects, and today we want to share with you Pinball Forest, Pinball Apps and Pinball Maker. These three concepts all connect together to create a new way for you to pinball.

Pinball Forest is a FREE creation software where anyone can design their own personalised pinball table. This means that you will have the final say on what is displayed on your table through using drop down menus, drag and positioning to alter the layout or even adding third party modules to enhance your tables (such as VR support, Kinect support, licensed artwork and themes, etc). Once your table is created, you can play it on a variety of different platforms such as mobile, PC, physical video pinball machines and much more.

Once you have created your table, you can share your table with the pinball community through Pinball Apps. Pinball Apps is our marketplace, where you can either share your pinball creations for free or sell them and earn money for your hard work. You can also follow top rated creators on the Pinball Apps platform and download your favourite or interesting tables to play straight to your devices.

If you want to create your pinball tables into real-life mechanical machines, then Pinball Maker is for you. This is our builder software, where you can make your own real-life traditional pinball machine using your table and design. Once you’ve created your pinball table via Pinball Forest or chosen a layout on Pinball Apps (you like another creators design and willing to pay them royalty fee), you can then work with our pinball experts to add physical features to your machines (such as coils, shaker motors, etc), finalise your design, and then send it to our partnered factories to be made into a physical, mechanical pinball machine. Pinball Maker will help you save on time, cost and requires smaller production runs (as low as 10 machines) compared to traditional manufacturing methods.
Arcooda Pinball is more than we announced at the launch of our work. It’s a completely new vision for the way pinball tables are designed, sold, manufactured. We also have a completely new coinop business model that we believe will bring fresh income to game operators.

It’s a fully INCLUSIVE system, and we invite everyone to join us, whether you are a designer, manufacturer, distributor etc… our systems are fully open, where people passionate about pinball can share they projects to the community and get their ideas into the market.

Sadly, COVID is really affecting everyone, including ourselves. We have been delayed many years for our concepts/software/machines but we must release our full vision. Our Ultra/Dynasty Cabinet production is currently on hold in South Korea, however our Mercury 2.0 cabinets are in production so we do have some good news coming. We will stay in touch as soon as we have positive news for physical pinball cabinets.

We hope you will continue to support us and our plans for the future of pinball, and we hope to bring something truly unique to the market.


Best Regards,
Olivia Josifovski
