What a great concept for a lower playfield!

I agree. I don't think I've seen a lower (or upper) playfield implemented so well into the theme and not seem a chore. I guess the upper ball lock on BOP... but you don't really 'play' it.

I was pretty much all in on this pin the day it launched, but figured, with no limited run, I could afford to wait and see. Well, I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. The physical working mockup at the end was especially nice to see! Anybody can mock something up on a computer. These guys have already shown proof of concept. Now that's how to do it!

I hope that White Russian, is part of the playfield, and not just promotional for the photo!

I love how the playfield looks just like a bowling lane! If this game plays as good as it looks, it's going to be awesome.

And yet another video... this time showcasing the art package for the pin (minus playfield).
Typical photoshop stuff, but I'm perfectly happy with it. The characters still look more airbrushed than photographed and I love how bowling and 'the rug' are the main design elements.
I'm pretty excited to see this game develop further. Something tells me I'd better start a TBL fund ;)

The sequence is lifted from the movie (which uses bowling balls and pins instead of flipper bats and pinballs) and it's supposed to be the intro scene to one of Jackie Treehorn's porn flicks :shock:

so is that a color DMD or a non-standard sized LCD in the backbox? anyone know for sure?

If it is going to be in color it will probably be an LCD screen given they are readily available and can be had for pretty cheap. I know the ColorDMD guys used LG panels for their displays back when I installed the one on my STTNG.

I can't get over how far these guys has come in so short a time. Less than 12 months since EXPO 2013.
Makes you wonder how far along they were prior to last year's PR stunt at the show.

I know this is just a prototype, but I'll be thrilled if one of these boutique manufacturers can actually deliver on a promise within a reasonable timeframe.

As for the game, my only negative so far lies with the playfield art. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about it yet, but it doesn't thrill me. Every other aspect of this project is very exciting.

Now.... what am I gonna have to sell? :FP:

The custom sized LCD is what gets me here-that can't be a cheap part to source (always the reason that the colorDMD displays have been standard AR screens).
