Can't wait for the cabinet version of this table. Would love to have the real table when it released too.

The game is out for all PC backers now!

Works for Portrait Mode! You just have to set your system to portrait when starting the game. It then downloads the necessary data.

Oh wow! I'm a backer. How do I download it?

Edit: Nevermind. I found the email in my spam box. Guess that's what happens when a product is 2 years late.

Totally worth the wait! Finally I can play Timeshock! in portrait and high resolution

So excited. And Ade gave permission, so double that excitement

So Pinwiz45b, as the monster player of Pro Pinball tables that you are, does the fact that Pro Pinball's idea of nudging, moving the ball in the opposite direction that TPA does their's, mess you up at all? I'm loving Timeshock like crazy, but after 3 years of TPA, I'm really having a hard time adjusting. Plus, I'm afraid that if I do adjust, it'll just mess up my TPA skills.

I'll answer as a more monster player of Pro Pinball. I set the reverse-nudge option in TPA long ago so that it matches what Pro Pinball does. Pro Pinball does it right. TPA is backwards by default.

I hate TPA's default direction of nudging. It's dumbed down, to work as if you're directly controlling the ball, hit left to make the ball go left. That's not at all how pinball nudging works. You move the TABLE, not the ball. If you want a ball in open space to go to the left, what really happens on a real machine is you move the table to the right and then the ball is further left relative to the table.

It's Microsoft that first screwed this up. All the earlier PC pinball sims worked the correct way. But then Space Cadet worked the dumbed-down way and that's what everybody saw and learned from being built in to Windows.

Unfortunately, I do the same as you. I set the reverse nudge as well. In fact, I was one of the testers insisting FS reverse their nudging in the first place. When TPA first released, the option to reverse it didn't exist. So now when I play Timeshock, the same thing is happening. It's like TPA's default. Pushing right moves the ball right. I'm sure the original Pro Pinballs did the same, but that was pre TPA, so I was good with it.

OMG I forgot how amazing this table was. The rules, modes, music, light show, pacing, narrative, everything, but now with 21st century hardware and a vertical monitor. I'm having a hard time going back to TPA. Yes, I'm even slowly adjusting to the backward nudging. I feel like I'm cheating on TPA.

it'll just mess up my TPA skills.

I backed at the iOS only level before I got a Pincab. Does anyone know if there's a place I can buy it? I checked Steam and came up empty

 

[infernogott]

Only available for backers with PC Version right now. You have to wait for the steam release.

... In 2017
