- Multimorphic doubled factory space by acquiring adjacent building section for expansion
- Elements playfield design by Team Pinball features octagonal red insert above flippers, three U-turn ramps, and dual spinners
- Supply chain shortages (wood, metal, labor costs) may delay game announcements into 2022
Notable quotes
“Spooky team have been adamant that they've been testing the heck out of it and really made sure that they're bulletproof motors, which is obviously very important.”
“They're completely free to decide for themselves how those numbers add up, but the total is limited to 1,000.”
“It's a fairly simple game I'd say. But it seemed that the way that Kevin was playing it was that rather than go to the store and buy each item individually you just wait until you've earned enough pinbox and go into the store and buy everything.”
“There's a house with six rooms in it and you have to score points, which are actually pin bucks. And with those pin bucks, you then can visit the store. And in the store, you can buy furniture for the house.”
“The costs for labor and metal and wood have gone up so much that you probably paid a 25% soon anyway.”
“I think it's going to be a dark game. But I don't know, it certainly looks, to me at least, more interesting than the Punny Factory layout.”
“Team Pinball are a design studio. They come up with the designs and work with artists and software programmers in order to produce or to create a product which Andrew can then take and get made locally in Canada.”
