New hotness on iOS & Android: Revenge of the Rob-o-Bot

[Mark W**a]

Sorry not feeling it.

iPad 1, v5.1.1 and it works fine. Very nice table! When I turn the music off it reminds me a bit of EM tables, which I adore. Love your sounds!

However, when the ball is flying around and DMD is scrolling, there is some stuttering. I don't know if it's because of iPad1's horsepower or the moving camera. Otherwise, this is as good as TPA and Zen...if you'll port it for PC or PS3 I'll buy it again

Good work, men!

 

[Anders]

Damn I'm looking forward to the Android version! Hope it plays better on my phone than TPA does, ie. being actually playable.

We have a Release Candidate ready, so hopefully we can release it in a few days. We are currently doing the final testing.

It only exists on real tables with broken flippers. Flippers have two coils for motion: a high-powered coil (which makes the initial flip) and a low-powered coil (which holds a raised flipper in place). The high-powered coil activates only briefly when you press the flipper button; the low-power coil stays activated as long as you hold the flipper button. A poorly maintained table with a broken low-powered coil exhibits the same behaviour as the upper flipper in Rob-O-Bot. It's not an intentional feature of any real table that I know of.

Lol, didn't know that! I can't remember which table it was as I was only a kid back then. From the description: "It’s even a bit rugged and worn from its years in the arcades"

So I guess we can call it a feature -- one of the flippers are broken!

A few posts before I gave a suggestion for an extra addition to Rob-o-Bot: a short DMD game. This youtube was posted in another forum section, start watching from 3:00 to 3:15 and this shows how cool a quick DMD-game could be!

THAT looks awesome! Perhaps not for Robobot, but def have it in mind for the next pinball game.

 

[Anders]

Wow, had a really great game and I am now 12th place on the leaderboards!
Anyone here managed to defeat the robot twice?

Not me

 

[Anders]

Love the table! Great design and graphics.

One question though: Is it intentional that the ball is spinning all the time?
If you trap it, or even before launching it you can see it slightly "rumbling" around
and spinning constantly, at least on my game (iPad 3).

Not intentional, thanks! I think it's rather shaking a tiny bit rather than spinning. We'll look into it.

Good work, men!

Thank you! Performance is not-so-good on iPad and and iPhone 4. It's mostly noticeable when a lot of lights are flashing. An idea we have is to turn off some of then, dunno if that's enough though.

I love it! An old table with little imperfections. You know, perhaps even one of the table-lights could flicker a bit?! (a loose wire..)

-I'll certainly buy it for the Mac as well when it will be released!

Awesome!

 

[Dan]

Possible bug: During Take down the shields mission, the Mission Light kept blinking and I shot the ball into the scoop. Then nothing happened, so I had to close the app.

Instabuy!

Thanks for the bug report Dan!

Thought I'd update you guys on what we are working on right now:

1. Bug fixes. Many of the bugs you guys have reported have been fixed (not all though, only critical ones as of now)
2. New light and lighting system! Currently in beta though, the new lights look AWESOME. As you can see in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYXTJNAJFy4) of one of my all time fav tables (MM), lights usually don't come on and off instantly, but rather fade in and out. As we are all for realism, we thought we'd give that a go, and it already looks sweet.
3. Android release!
4. Design of Feature Pack 1 which will add many cool things to the table. For free.

 

[gsxrboy]

We all say yay

Keep up the great work!

 

[night]

I am very much looking forward to the update. A new lighting system and new features.. sounds spectacular!

 

[Heretic]

will the lightng support older devices? at least the ipad3

id love abit more to do but the tables got almost perfect flow already aside from nudge

i dont trust the nudge, so i see a ball going for a frain nudging isnt my first thought

can you explain the mechanics behind your current nudge implmentation i just dont get it

playing like a mad man tho

 

[Carl Spiby]

Anders, need any testing on Android? I'm available.

The new light/lighting system shouldn't affect performance. The nudge only works upwards, but it's way too powerful and needs to be toned down a notch or ten.
