The Pinball Show Ep 30: ♫ Waiting For A Game To Drop ♫ Hosts: Dennis Kriesel & Zach Meny - The Great Fan Layout Defeat - It's Chili Season! A Beginners Guide To Properly Classifying A Soup
Highlights
- Keith Elwin stated Avengers Infinity Quest Avengers' Captain Marvel ramp (potbelly/helix ramp) was an engineering nightmare to develop while keeping costs and material efficiency in mind
- Stern design teams receive the same bill of materials budget regardless of designer seniority or game complexity
- Keith Elwin cited remote audio development with Jerry Thompson as the hardest aspect of Avengers Infinity Quest design due to lack of quick turnaround and COVID constraints
- Avengers Infinity Quest unboxed with code version 0.9, suggesting incremental updates before final 1.0 release version expected
- Jersey Jack Pinball delayed Guns N' Roses to October 2020 (from rumored September release)
- Stern Black Knight Sword of Rage has been in production for almost two years and is now taking final orders
- Avengers Infinity Quest uses comic book theming (rather than film licensing) partly because films become dated while comic styling remains more timeless
- Stern could not include film animation assets due to licensing limitations; Avengers art/animation was restricted to non-film materials
Notable quotes
“The framework is there, meaning, if somebody has screws and you can take it out, that's what that means. If somebody wants to modify their gauntlet, they can.”
“the Black Order has the Infinity Stones, Dennis, and they're taking them to Thanos. The Avengers must stop them first.”
“I think the thing is that they could have gone and done the movie license, but I don't think they ever would have spent what would have been needed to spend to lock in enough of the voices and actors and everything.”
“the cabinet was striking. The art just kind of stopped me and made me fangirl out”
“I think a lot of the cost on the wire forms is actually related to how many bends you put in them.”
“trying to work with jerry thompson remotely because he said usually jerry would come in he would fly in frequently during these things but with this covid stuff he couldn't”
“Pioneers aren't always loved.”
“I blame Hobbit for all this... because Hobbit came in and it had all this movie asset integration, and because so much of it was like CG with the dragon and stuff, it feels really packed and really integrated”
