Highlights
- Keith Elwin's third game features a Winston cat theme
- The game will have one orbit shot (right side), no scoops, minimum three flippers, and approximately six modes
- The upper flipper on Jurassic Park was originally designed for the left side but had to be moved to the right
- Keith Elwin uses a physical mockup process with printouts and actual machine parts laid out on a Beat the Clock table
- There will be a surprise code update coming for Iron Maiden
- Twitch is now actively monitoring and muting streams containing copyrighted music, affecting playability of music-themed pins
- Nick Greenan, a 16-17 year old from Ontario, is the number one ICR player on IFPA and recently beat Martin Robbins in Ontario finals
- John Borg may have originally been assigned to design Iron Maiden but Keith Elwin volunteered instead because Borg was burned out on music pins
Notable quotes
“Without us, they're dead in the water. They should be worshipping the ground we walk on.”
“I always wanted to do a winston game and yeah it came up winston his cat”
“originally on jurassic park the upper flipper was on the left side that's where i wanted it...i just couldn't get it to work so begrudgingly had to move it to the right side”
“I work directly in CAD, so what I do is I make extremely rough drafts. I'll do a one-to-one printout...and then I'll go grab flipper bats, pop bumpers, whatever from the lab, and I'll physically lay it out.”
“I'm pretty good at looking at a model and knowing if it shoots well or not.”
“there is going to be more updates...if there isn't that an update there might be a surprise for people”
“super complex games do not earn so when i uh first took the gig with iron maiden i was like i'm gonna do five modes really straightforward old school”
“I downloaded all their stuff and listened to it on my drive to Chicago from California...listened to it a couple dozen times on my trip out”
“whenever you see a goat on the screen, smash the action button...What happens? Well, not much. Absolutely fuck all. Nothing. You look silly doing it, so that's worth it.”
“I see its importance as a start button. Anything else on top of that is gravy.”
