Ep 98: A Scooby Doo Christmas with Bug
PodcastAnalysis updated 5d ago58 min listen
It's the most wonderful time of the year and we as an early Christmas gift we have Bug from Spooky on to talk about their most recent release, Scooby Doo Where Are You?
Highlights
- Scooby-Doo original series has only 2-3 seasons (27 episodes total)
- All five voice actors (Shaggy, Scooby, Fred, Velma, Daphne) were successfully secured for new recordings
- The upper bookcase shelf flipper is believed to be a first in pinball
- Scooby-Doo is Spooky Pinball's first widebody game
- The widebody was designed by splitting the extra 3 inches equally on both sides rather than adding to one side
- Game will launch with seven main monster modes, three multiballs, and more code than Halloween at launch
- Spooky has hired Eric Prepke and Ben Heck as additional coders to improve code depth and speed
- Christopher Franchi (artist) did all cabinet artwork for Scooby-Doo and previously did Alice Cooper
Notable quotes
“in my mind, Scooby-Doo is quite literally the most ideal theme for our company. Like it makes the most sense. It checks all the boxes because it hits a very wide audience”
“I can't emphasize enough how much the LCD screen has increased the workload of pinball. It is a whole different ballgame now than it was”
“we like to try and do things that are a bit weirder and more unorthodox to be the odd one out... There's no point in us trying to do that [what Stern does]”
“go big or go home it's scooby-doo like we need to throw absolutely everything at this that we can”
“The code's significantly further along than Halloween was at launch... Blackwater 100 absolutely is and i'm very very excited for people to see an actual live stream of it”
“I do enjoy Alice Cooper and so I'm going on with that... it's definitely influence drawn from Alice Cooper visually because I think up until Scooby-Doo Alice Cooper is probably our most visually impressive game we've ever done”
“the most outstanding professional actors we've ever gotten to work with, I would say. And I've actually met Matthew Lillard in person before, and he's a great guy.”
“I'm hoping it goes down as our best upper playfield yet because it definitely has the most going on and the most features on an upper playfield that we've ever done”
