Wow! What a hectic couple of weeks there! We released Twilight Zone, Star Trek, had a fan visit and post about it, had a lot of internal bugs to work out, celebrated the 12 Days of a Pinball Arcade Christmas, and finished out the year pretty well. I know that some people are still having issues and let me speak on that for a minute.
We have now implemented a feature that was debuted with Twilight Zone that links your kickstarter entitlements to your Farsight account. Twilight Zone, Star Trek, the pro versions, all of it. Needless to say, this was something we had never done before, and it was done out of a necessity. We can't hand out dlc codes for ios in app purchases. They don't allow it. I think Google has a similar policy. So, we tied your reward to your account. Easy enough, but I didn't realize how many people wouldn't have a farsight account or wouldn't have the same email for both. Also, due to security concerns, we can't just merge the two accounts as some had suggested. There were a lot of bumps with the release of TZ and the way Apple handled Star Trek was a bit of a head scratcher, but they are out in the world now, and people are happy.
Two quick notes before I move on:
#1 We have not forgotten about the console people, nor are we considering our releases complete until the PS3 AND the 360 are playing these tables. We now have a publisher for the 360 so this means progress in that direction. More info to come as I have it.
#2 Despite being tied to your Farsight account, it will not carry over platforms, as we specify which platforms those entitlements are applied to. For example, if you get TZ for android, you can use your farsight account on an ios just fine, but you won't get TZ. The exception to this is those that pledged $100 or more.
Now that the holidaze are behind us, we are moving full steam ahead with the next release, Attack from Mars and Genie. Great tables, I have a lot of fun playing both.
Our tournaments are bringing a lot of people to us, just shy of 4,000!!! Insane! The Attack from Mars bundle will include the special ball for the top winners of the tournament.
If any of you have issues with kickstarter redemption, please PM me here. I'd rather it not be sent to support, so they can focus on bugs and whatnot.
I guess that's about it.
Good luck!

When tournaments are available for console will you offer the ball skin again? I'd hate to miss out on that because we dont have tournaments yet. HAPPY NEW YEAR now GET BACK TO WORK!
