We Are Pinball #45 with Enzo Slaps!!

“I now own a house in Benton. I've been on the factory a bit more frequently now, twisting screws and bolts on prototype games and things, talking design, hashing out concepts.”

“when I was visiting the site and like they took me into like their locked room their inner sanctum... and like there it is like this this this new game that's about to come out um and then I turn and look and like there's another one and then I look and like there's another one”

“I don't want to divulge too much, but, like, you know, I wish they could build 3,000 games a year and just dump everything right now because we all play them. It's all awesome. All three games are, like, playable and everything?”

“It's the coding and the approvals and things. You could turn around and release a game every couple of months, but it wouldn't have any deep code in it. That takes time.”

“The thing that shits me the most about this game is that it's actually the most unique pinball experience that Stern's done in 10 years because it's got extremely great storytelling... But then you've made a game that, like, my five-year-old can't shoot. Like, you brick every shot, basically. Like, it is not fun to play.”

“If you try to come up with some unique shot no one's ever seen before, unless you have a team of engineers back there and, like, hours and hours to troubleshoot that, you're going to have high potential for jank, you know, and nobody wants that.”

“You walk up to a machine and you see a layout and you're like, there, I want to get my ball there and do that thing. Now how do I do that and work backwards?”

“I'm not getting my own studio or nothing. I got a lot to learn. It's just kind of a collaborative process. Let's hang out and make some cool stuff. We're starting with that and we'll see how it goes.”

“Shadow had multiple ball diverters, so the same shot up the same ramp could end up at different areas... you look at Tales from the Crypt and there's wireforms everywhere, how do I get from this one to this one.”

“The storytelling is addictive. I want to travel. I want to fuck shit up. I do. But I can't make the shots. It is just so hard to make.”
