Triple Drain Pinball Podcast Ep 41: Too Much Stacking!!!
Triple Drain Pinball Podcast Episode 41: Too Much Stacking!!! Hosts: Joel Engelberth, Tom Graf, and Travis Murie Tonight we cover a TON of different topics. Joel shares his current thoughts on...
Highlights
- Deadpool Pro machines are shipping ahead of the originally planned October timeline
- Venom's XP system is primarily a Dwight (coder) innovation, not necessarily a directive from Stern management
- XP systems may not retrofit well into already-produced or in-production games
- Casual players don't understand what XP means and will require hands-on time to grasp the system
- Trophy system on Avengers Infinity Quest was likely a Raymond innovation that didn't carry to other games
Notable quotes
“Max out my multiplier to 10x and I kept the ball above the flippers during multiball.”
“I'm now stepping into my [comfort zone]. Like, this type of code is what he's been dying to do.”
“If a dad and his daughter are going to go down and play every single night, he just wants them both to feel like they're achieving something, and every night they're going to get a little further.”
“Most people have no idea what the scores are anyways in pinball. They don't know how much a jackpot is. They don't know what a multiplier is. They don't know, and that's fine.”
“If you've ever owned Lord of the Rings, people are like, did you get the Valinor? They never ask what was your high score.”
