Oh well. I would've loved to see it in action.

Ok, I've read, that it is ok if i post a screenshot.
Maybe i can make a short video of gameplay tomorrow.

I have installed it on an other PC with a newer intel i5 CPU and HD4600.
It runs now in FullHD with 60fps.

Here is the description of the current alpha version:


---------------------------
....
This is the first alpha release and as such it has had little testing for system compatibility so it is possible that it will crash or not start at all on your system. Please report any problems that you find, including hardware/software in use.

The 'alpha' status indicates that this is an incomplete early-access version, so you should not expect all the announced features to be implemented at this stage. This is a summary of what is included:

Fully playable 1997 version table rules and physics.
All lights and flashers working apart from the dot matrix and backbox lights lighting the table.
Flippers
Balls
Dot matrix display.
Keyboard controls.
Partial glass-off mode (ball position does not match pointer position).
Control of ambient, GI, and overall playfield light intensity. Only the ambient light level will be controllable in the finished game, the other controls are purely for testing purposes.
Placeholder text-only option screens for logging in and setting the table resolution and scaling option.
Speech and sound effects.
Low quality music (same as Kickstarter 1997 version).

Note that not all the lights that affect the upper flipper are included yet.

Some of the features that are NOT included in this version:

Animated objects other than the flippers.
Cabinet mode.
Multi monitor support for DMD/backbox.
Joystick/pad support.
Leaderboards and achievements.
Graphical user interface including full set of audio/graphics/controls/gameplay options.
High quality music.
New physics.
Rolling ball display.
Reflection in table glass for glass-on mode.

This version should also not be taken as representing the performance of the final game as there has been little optimisation done, there is a lot of graphical content still to be added, and there are currently no options for reducing the load on the system, other than setting the table resolution. That said, it will be useful to get feedback about how well the current version runs on peoples' systems.

These are the resolutions currently available:
768
1080
1440
1920
2560

Considering this is only an alpha, and bearing in mind the
current feature set that's missing, I won't be anticipating any mobile release until July at the earliest.

They have a lot more work to do. What they have is a great start.

Can we buy into the alpha at this point in time, or do we need to wait for the beta?

 

[SilverBalls]

Having played the Alpha in the cabinet last night I have to agree with Jeff and say:

Hold on to your lugnuts!

Here is another screenshot with 2560 resolution, not scaled to fit, in portrait mode BUT running on my 1080p-Screen in my cab.
Everything is a little bigger and you can't see the DMD.
But it is still playable on my HTPC with HD4600 IGP.

And here one screenshot from my Apple Mac Mini with 30" Monitor at 2560x1600
It is not playable with this resolution because the Mac Mini have a very poor graphics card.
But the details look incredible good.

I'm pretty sure that alpha access was a kick starter reward tier.

I'm pretty sure that alpha access was a kick starter reward tier.

The KickStarter campaign is over, but it would appear they are still accepting Paypal: https://www.pro-pinball.com/pledge-with-paypal/

I've also taken down the videos for now, because apparently there's conflicting data on whether or not videos of the test version are allowed at this time.

Welcome to the forum! Understandable.
