Pro Pinball

[SilverBalls]

I don't know why some people always want to think that they must have been up to no good. The kickstarter may have been a way to save the company, and it would have kept that room full of young developers we saw into the video in work. If that was the case Adrian work damned hard from what I saw. As a company they knocked out some good games for the likes of Nintendo with an impressive small team. If they re-appear with a new company and Kickstarter I won't hesitate to support them, as I want to see what they can do. It's not as if they are going to disappear with the money.

 

[Jeff Strong]

Damn, I guess they needed the money more than we thought. It is indeed sad, especially if that was their last chance to make a run at bringing back Pro Pinball.

Really - you can't see what was wrong here! This didn't smell right during the initial Kickstarter. It's starting to stink now.
Yes - desperate measures drive people to desperate actions, but those people do have a choice.
Having been on the losing end of a similar situation in 2001, I'm sure Adrian will have transferred valuable assets (house/car/bk2000) into his partners name prior to the bankruptcy and will probably be fine.
The people who have lost out will be the company staff, and if he'd managed to pull it off, us.

This has soured Pro Pinball for me personally.
I'd already decided prior to this - I wouldn't back a Kickstarter again.

Spare change mister! (involuntary gagging noise).

Depends on currency exchange rates.

a lot of speculation there. Sounds like you would have him hung without any evidence of a crime. I know there are a lot of dodgy people about but would someone with an solid software development resume really want to tarnish it for an amount of money that probably equates to about 3 years salary. We are not talking about British MPs here.

Side note: I like how you included the BK2000 as a valuable asset

 

[Nik Barbour]

Sounds like you would have him hung.

No - publicly flogged for a first crime.
But execution for politicians.

Good News from Facebook:

Pro Pinball

"We are pleased to announce that the Silverball Studios crew have teamed up with Barnstorm Games.

There will definitely be another Pro Pinball Kickstarter in the not to distant future and we'll be making an official announcement soon."

 

[xNiCeGuYx]

Good!

 

[Carl Spiby]

Bloody hell that didn't take long.

 

[Nik Barbour]

Good - hopefully the staff will all get to keep their jobs, or at least the majority of them.

 

[Kolchak357]

Good news. I feared we wouldn't see these tables again.

 

[Worf]

Yay, I definitely can't wait for that!

 

[fenderbendr]

Nice!

 

[night]

Yeaaaaaah! I mean 'yeah'.

Thought I might share this with you guys: (sorry if it's too big)

If I were to say Android?

Got tired of waiting for news, announcements, Kickstarters so created my own bin files yesterday direct from the iso files.
Result - all 4 Pro Pinball tables playing on Android.

How were you able to get them to work on FPSE? Just downloaded it today and tried to run Fantastic Journey but it runs super fast and leaves ghosting on the ball. Maybe I'm doing something wrong with the ISO file?

I saw it do the exact same thing on my mates Sony Experia when he tried the same idea.

I never had a problem with FPSE but got this recommended...

Nik have you tried the "epsxe" emulator, the best psx emulator on pc and I get better results with it on android then FPse: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.epsxe.ePSXe&hl=en

Compatibility and performance are vastly improved with EPSXE.
And it fixed the ghosting issue with my mates Experia.
Nice tip Francis!

Question is: When are they starting the Kickstarter? They did say soon (hopefully soon enough).
