Arcooda Introduces the Dynasty Vertical Pinball Machine

[Arcooda]

We have kickstarted our Arcooda Video Pinball: Take 2 Relaunch with the introduction of a new, versatile machine; the Dynasty Vertical Pinball machine.

The Dynasty Vertical Pinball machine takes a horizontal video pinball machine and turns it into a space-saving alternative. It adds its own unique features to make it one of the most innovative products on the market. It features impressive programmable LED lighting, three high definition monitors for the backglass, playfield and DMD, side buttons for pinball games and more!

You can find out more information here: https://www.arcooda.com/introduce-dynasty-vertical-pinball-machine/

For more information, keep an eye on Arcooda’s social media channels or contact their office at sales@arcooda.com. We’ll be making periodic announcements for more product information.

Pretty snazzy. The double arcade stick layout is exactly what I would want when I’m not playing pinball, and all the extra ports and what not are a very nice touch.

Any chance of a bartop version?

 

[SilverBalls]

Looks good. Will the cabinet come preloaded with the Pro Pinball Arcade Edition, as it appears in the software list link for this cabinet?

 

[Arcooda]

There's definitely a chance for a bartop version. Designs/prototypes were developed as part of the overall Arcooda Pinball work.

Yes, we'll also be preloading Pro Pinball Arcade Edition onto the cabinets.

I am curious. Have the horizontal type Arcooda Standard, Pro, and/or Ultra Cabinets that were announced in June 2018 been delivered to the Purchasers yet? I have yet to see any discussion or reviews of any of those three horizontal cabinets post-release anywhere (including on the Arcooda Facebook Page). I see that at this moment those three are still listed for sale at https://www.arcoodapinball.com/ under the "PURCHASE ARCOODA PINBALL\Please Send Your Inquiry Below\Cabinet" drop-down .

I almost bought one of those original horizontal Arcooda Pinball Machines/Cabinets back then, not knowing when they would be manufactured. Instead I wound up purchasing the Arcooda Pinball Arcade Steam Unlock Key.

Thanks for confirming. That is interesting then as Barnstorm must be in contact with you, whereas there has been no communication to Kickstarter supporters for over 2 years now, people who invested sometimes in excess of £100/120 euros. They obviously won't be delivering the rewards but as they delivered the game with a few promises missing, I would hope as a gesture of goodwill (or more a case of being reasonsble) they will release any enhancements on Steam. After all many of us put our faith in their project, invested heavily, trusted them, and they have not fulfilled many of their promises. I understand maybe they just ran out of cash, and you know what, if they just just that I would say "ok I understand, that's life, at least we got the game'. The Ultra game is incredible and you can't take that away from them. The effort must have been immense, but just need a bit of honesty from them.

Unfortunately it was never released. We refunded all the customers who wanted their money back. We've had a number of delays (software, cabinet manufacturing and PCB production) which significantly delayed the entire project. The latest updates are that we've moved production to South Korea, that many of our PCBs have now been remade/tested, and we plan to ship the Ultra machines at the same time as the Dynasty cabinet.

 

[Jeff Strong]

Thank you very much for the replies and info. Any word on pricing yet?

Thank you, Arcooda, for the information. It sounds like it will go very well this time around! I also want to say that in 2018 I found that members of the Arcooda Team were great for me to work with when I was inquiring and working out details about potentially purchasing a cabinet, and then again when I purchased the software.

 

[seattlemark]

I see that around 2 hours ago on YouTube, Arcooda posted a video of the Dynasty Vertical Pinball Machine in action, plus some description, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqPj4HKTHUg .

Hi Jeff, we plan to have the full price structure on the 3rd of March, when we'll also start collecting orders. We're having some issues at the moment because of the coronavirus. We've been talking with our office in China but it doesn't look like the factories will be back to work anytime soon. At the present moment, we still plan to announce the price on the 3rd, as well as the full options of cabinets.

Thanks for your kind words Seattlemark.

We're also open to any feedback on the machine anyone has. For example:

1. Would you prefer the machine to come with or without a PC? Or would you prefer a sandbox style PC where you can add your own components?

2. What about cabinet stickers? Would you prefer the sleek solid black, or would you like it to include a defined set of stickers (for example, Haunted House like in the LED video)? Or would you like the option to choose your own sticker?

We'll definitely be posting more information on the current features we have planned, but we're always open to feedback and suggestions.

 

[wilbers]

Don't think this page was there before, looks like its been there about a week https://www.arcooda.com/our-machines/arcooda-video-pinball/arcooda-video-pinball-ultra/

Also https://www.arcoodapinball.com/ has been updated - 2 of 3 (rather than 1 of 3) have some details (but not pricing yet).

 

[Arcooda]

We've very sorry, but there are huge supply/logistics problems at the moment due to the coronavirus. Because of this, we have been unable to offer pricing and shipment schedules yet. However we'll stay in touch once we have news.

 

[jaredmorgs]

Just got pinged about this and thought it was worth sharing (with great disappointment).

I really hope the folks at [MENTION=7221]Arcooda[/MENTION] are going to be coming back again after the situation with manufacturing stabilises.

 

[shutyertrap]

That really sucks.

 

[AcadDude]

Indefinitely? NOOOO!

 

[vfpcoder]

Agree ... This sucks ...

 

[AcadDude]

They are not dead yet. I saw that they still are selling Steam keys on is TPA dead thread.
