Zaccaria Pinball on Steam Greenlight!

[Jeff Strong]

Basic elements will be the same, like sounds or rules etc., but graphics effects and textures will be tuned up of course.

Nice!

Thanks for the hint! Can't wait to see this on PC!

Nice. Hopefully it's a quick turn around to being greenlit.

TPA was greenlit in April 2013, and released in November 2013.

Hopefully this one gets the green light and goes a little quicker.

One thing for sure is that this will go quicker than the ill-fated "Toki" arcade game remake, greenlit way back in 2012 and is still not released. It's been worked on since 2009 too. But A.S.K. Homework is probably more established and better suited to follow through with this.

In The Brain's voice - YES!

 

[Pinandy]

This is a Must-"yes"-Vote for me.
I hope, it will have Cabinet suppor, too.
Or at least a portrait mode.

 

[SilverBalls]

This is excellent news. I am still enjoying the Android version so to see this on the big screen will be a treat. Zsolt - will portrait play be supported, and then cab support? I know you mentioned it in the interview this forum did a while back.

 

[Stuzz]

Linux eh? Is this the first pinball on Steam that supports Linux?

 

[Snorzel]

How many votes or what does it take for it to get the go ahead?

 

[Ben Logan]

FANTASTIC news! Can't wait. Voted yes, of course. Love the physics on iOS. Will they be retuned? How about the slings?

I didn't think the lighting could get even better, but the video looks amazing!!

I'd absolutely love cab support for my dual monitor cab. But I'll buy on day one no matter what.

Thanks, Zsolt!

I voted yes, and got my two kids to do the same with their steam accounts. A small bribe was needed .

This Steam greenlight thing was such a torture when we tried to get TPA on it, so I just hope we don't end up going through a year of hell again. In fact if Ask want to sell direct I would be more than happy to pay double the asking price than it would go for on Steam, just to not have to put up with all the Steam nonsense.

Come to think of it wasn't they planning to get rid of the Greenlight process?

 

[Ben Logan]

I'd buy as a direct download from ASK. Steam green light process seems a little silly. Hope it goes quickly.

 

[Snorzel]

Judging by what I learned in this article, it could be a while.

http://gamedevelopment.tutsplus.com...g-greenlit-on-steam-greenlight--gamedev-13938

I have some questions (not that anyone will read, let alone answer) Why did they post this game under a different developer name? Says Magic Pixel KFT. on steam. They already have a game on steam as ASK homework (dream pinball). As I understand, if a company already released a game they can by pass greenlight and just release. So why list the game as a different developer? Could it be to distance themselves from bad reviews associated with dream pinball?
Also, is there a way to see where the game currently sits ranking wise? Says the top 100 make it in

I would buy the game directly from the developer if possible also.

Nice!

Hey happy birthday! Just saw it on the bottom of the page

Hey happy birthday! Just saw it on the bottom of the page

Thanks bud!

So excited for this to come to PC. My wrists have been yelling at me every time I play pinball on a touchscreen. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the new eye candy as well. It's amazing what ASK has done on mobile hardware; can only imagine how gorgeous this will be on PC.

It says on Steam ready by Q1 2016, on the main page. We know from experience Ask are do'ers and get things done quickly with no messing, but Steam is another story .

 

[Ben Logan]

What's the advantage of going through the green light process to land this on Steam? Why not just market directly to customers like us?

I guess I answered my own question: marketing and exposure. But - I'd love an option to buy directly from ASK.

 

[SilverBalls]

I guess it is all about exposure and not having to worry about distributing your game, collecting payments, etc.

By the way, Ask earlier posted over on Steam asking for features we want in a PC version:

[chinzman93]

Yes.
Please don't forget about cab support

+1 For cabinet support. I would switch to ASK just for that!

Good luck Zsolt! Hope to see it someday on PS4
