Hardy LIVE! Walking around Texas Pinball Festival
Check out the...
Highlights
- Cirqus Voltaire will be produced in quantities between 500 and 1,000 units
- Beetlejuice games were sold out before arriving at the show
- Dennis Nordman last fully designed game (without significant post-release tweaks) was either Scared Stiff or Elvira's House of Horrors
- Yukon Yeti design includes a motorized avalanche ramp feature where the step ramp's center drops and balls roll backwards
- Licensed IP games (Yukon Yeti modeled after Whitewater nostalgia) sell immediately at shows, while unlicensed originals require longer sales cycles
- George Gomez was personally fixing Pokemon pinball machines at Texas Texas Pinball Festival using a drill
- Cirqus Voltaire will have two tiers: Classic (original design) and Reimagining (new art and updates)
- American Pinball booth was one of the least busy at Texas Texas Pinball Festival, partly because Cirqus Voltaire had no playable demo
Notable quotes
“It's exciting and rewarding. I haven't had a lot of games come out in the last few years... I'm happy to have a game in production finally.”
“We have to have the licenses. It's kind of sad honestly. We love doing this creative stuff and bringing our unlicensed themes that other people aren't going to do, but the reason they're not doing them is because they can't run a business doing them.”
“With a game like that, you take it to a show, and there'll be some people that will buy it... But the vast majority are like, oh, well, I don't know what that is, I'll play it at the show, let's see if I like it.”
“Beetlejuice were sold before they even brought them to the show, guys.”
“I purposely designed it to make sure it didn't hit the glass... We can tweak it if you really like it hitting the glass.”
“The game of the show... And the other thing I'm hearing is like they really like that game that's the Monster League.”
“I just think the world would be a better place if we didn't have to do that... I would encourage you to try harder to be better.”
“This game wasn't even fully put together as of Sunday of last week... The sculpts are still getting painted, things are still getting done... the code has a long way to go.”
