Zen is not only making pinball. They just launched the RPG game Operencia on Xbox and PC. They’ve got Infinity Golf, Disco Dodgeball, Castle Storm, and more on various platforms. Pinball happens to be what they’ve been making for the longest time, but Zen is not a one trick pony and that point...

Yeah, if you are going to make us watch videos, then a fair exchange is happening. There are other apps I play that don't have any sort of video, and guess what, you'll never be able to collect everything unless you spend years at it. I also think Zen needs to introduce loyalty drops. In other...

Here's the summary after playing the app for 28 days Level 35 (+2) Tickets 12,065 Coins 60 Theatre of Magic: Fully upgraded (as of day 14) Champion Pub: Fully upgraded (as of day 21) Safe Cracker: 100/100 parts So if anyone is questioning why we need a hard cap on table parts (not that any of...

You absolutely will need to purchase if fully unlocking is your goal. That’s the point I’m making, that even I with only one table left to upgrade and 60 coins collected, will now barely make that before Volume 4 presumably arrives. And I’m playing all 4 challenges to 15 stars daily. I was on...

I spent so much time on Champion Pub Pro 1 ball last night, just a stupid amount. I wanted to finish then rather than try again in the morning. Muscle memory had me making the same mistakes over and over. Can’t tell you how many times I had a 32 million purse for Knuckles O’Brian only to lose...

Okay, now I'm pissed. After 26 days of consistent data, on day 27 I noticed my totals were a bit unusual. I had sent to Zen some analysis of all the data I'd collected so far, as well as some issues with the game like interactive ads that crashed the app and invisible cards in the Premium...

I don't know why, but these last 3 days have been kicking my butt with challenges. The last 2 days I went big time into the negative on tickets, trying to top off on Pro 1 Ball Champion Pub. I'd have a massive 22 million purse waiting for that first fight (since it's the easiest) and then I'd...

Fish Tales is Mel’s favorite machine, so I imagine that’s why it was chosen.

Yes, that’s what Mel said. The fact they are even considering applying the new Williams physics to Zen originals shows they recognize the potential of customers that hadn’t purchased before. And believe me, there’s no doubt they know what tables you’ve bought compared to what you haven’t.

There's a certain code to the way FarSight speaks that once you know, it becomes amusing. They'll say things like "yes we can", "we're looking into that", "we'd love to do that", "it's possible", and "things are in the works". None of it of course is committal.

I mean sitting down to play Ripley's, and 45 minutes later still on that same game start, just 9 extra balls later. There's a few people who documented scores that took over 8 hours to achieve. The pinball ROMs were simply not meant to handle this much data, and often the game would bug out due...

FarSight never wanted to create their own tables, full stop. They had the opportunity to have the license to do the Sega South Park table, but in was contingent on them making an original table too. They declined, said that's not what they do, next thing you know Zen is doing South Park tables...

We used to grill FarSight about the tables not being difficult enough, that they were not designed for people to play one game for 45 minutes or longer, and that there really should be a difficulty adjust button. They teased for years that it was on the to-do list, but finally came out and said...

Ohhhh, mic drop!

That's what I'm saying, you are stuck behind the freemium aspects. I play on mobile too, have all but one table completely upgraded at the moment. The Pro physics are brutal and fun. That being said, as I play on a phone, I tend to play using the Zen physics model instead as things are too small...

They have an entire division devoted to mobile gaming. Mobile is not taking away from the pinball division, they are separate but then share when needed. I'll see if I can dig up some more info about this to maybe ease your mind. Also, Zen has data from all the other mobile pinball apps they've...

You are 100% correct in what TPA gave and offered to many of us for many years. I think it's more disappointment in what could have been than just straight up negativity. The Zen releases are just shining a big ol' spotlight on that. And then there's the fact that people still want FarSight to...

Funny you should mention that...[REDACTED]

First time I visited FarSight, which was during season 1, everyone there was working on TPA. The 6 or 7 downstairs offices all had machines in them, there was a large room with machines in various stages of tear down, art department was all working on it, everyone, and Norman the sound engineer...

Also, any ad that you can interact with will crash the app, at least for me on iOS. Always flip the top 3 first (even though their reward has already been added to your collection) before flipping the video card. If you recognize it as one of those ads, often in the lower left corner there’s a...
