Pro Pinball

Also, I'm quite glad I have no data cap: 215GB of traffic in under 24 hours. Timeshock! still has some people interested in it!

Extremely beautiful screenshots, what could go wrong here? Nothing. Bring it on the iOS a.s.a.p. please!

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.

Videos are back up, I got word directly from Ade that videos are OK!

Any chance that you can put them up onto Youtube?

I should be able to do that. If I remember correctly Youtube converts to 30fps, if that matters to you.

fyi i think most people wpuld appericate a look of the new gfx in motion, most would be ware of the fps limation but im more intrested in the newer oyhics that havent been subbited to public alpha yet but ah well

Ok, videos have been uploaded to Youtube, and should be done processing in a few minutes!

Edit: Videos have finished processing, and as suspected they were converted to 30fps. 60fps versions are still up on my server.

cheers big ears

Also, this initial Alpha version is still using the 1997 physics engine, they haven't put in the upgraded physics yet.

Looks great. Was expecting a bit more flashers and dynamic GI (ala the previous lighting demo), but maybe that's still to come?

The lighting is adjustable still, I just wasn't fiddling with it because I was playing. Also not all of the flashers have finished rendering if I remember correctly.

Are some flashers working now? I didn't watch all the way through both vids yet. What I meant by dynamic is for the GI to change as you play on certain shots, like real machines do.

thanks for taking the time to make and upload the video's, it is much appreciated. Only big thing I noticed so far is how the balls float when being loaded for multiball but ive only watched a couple of minutes.

Correct, currently none of the mechanical animations are in except for the flippers and the ball. There's suppose to be a magnetic crane arm that picks up the ball.

There's a multiball where the flashers are going at 2:15 on the landscape game, or 2:25 on the portrait one. Is that the kind of lighting changes you're talking about?

Yes! Was hanging with my wife earlier so could only watch the first minute or so. The flashers look great. Hopefully they'll be implemented for more shots.

This is a Pro Pinball game, so there's a fully functional operator's menu including tests for individual flashers, and a burn-in test mode. Want me to make a recording of any of those?

This is very promising. Tried it with a rotated monitor on the highest video settings and it looks and feels better than any other pinball simulator out there. Only the graphics is in from the new version. Even with more than a 10 year old physics engine this thing blows all other wannabes. That in itself is incredible. The sky's the limit! Now, lock those balls!

Yes please. The more videos, the better.

That's great to hear. I definitely agree that even the old physics are still the best around.

Even more amazing when you realize that Timeshock! was released in 1997, so it's a 17 year old physics engine!
