Zaccaria Pinball

[daduki]

Different leaderboards should be great, but it can't be different because Game Center supports 25 leaderboards per app, and there will be 27 tables in Zaccaria Pinball. So it seems like 2 tables will not have leaderboard or 2-2 tables will have the same leaderboard. Or we develop an own leaderboard later that could arrange the board by ball numbers, modes, etc. We will see.

Yes, there will be instruction card in the app and rulesheets on the facebook.

Thanks for explaining
Once there will be online leaderboards 3-5 balls, arcade-simulation should obviously be separated, and Game Center is less then ideal seen the limitation you highlighted and the fact that its leaderboards are so easily hacked (it's incredible that Apple is still neglecting the integrity of one of the essential parts of the whole Game Center experience).
So, my vote is for an in-house solution

Also, I'd like to ask if you can have a look at Pinball Champ: ball movement is noticeably less fluid than in Time Machine (I also tried with a clean restart).

Thank you!

UPDATE sorry, I forgot to specify that for Pinball Champ I'm having the issue on an iPad 3 (iOS 5.1.1)

Add Locomotion as well. (iPad2)

I ran into a bug today on the motocross game (it's name escapes me), where the bonus ball time ran out but I was still able to keep it in play past the timer. It may not be a bug (or a bug of the original firmware) but I'm just pointing it out Otherwise, I'm REALLY impressed with this game. Already purchased the Gold IAP

Yep, reproduced earlier here too! .. but shhhh it helped with the score Bottom of the screen said it was timed score still and the bug ended itself only when the ball entered the top field section. As soon as it got there the flippers stopped doing their flippy stuff.

I'll have to wait for payday to throw down for gold, but that will definitley happen. I'm loving having another pinball sim with new tables added - especially from a manufacturer I never heard of back in the day.

The only issue leaping out at me is some slowdown on my iPad 3, but it sounds like performance issues are in the developers' sights so I'm hopeful we'll see performance improve in the near future.

Glad to hear you're adding Gamecenter support Zsolt, that's awesome. Seems to me that you should add GC support ASAP to deal with the lack of non-local high scores, and then work on your own leaderboards so when you approach max tables you don't have to combine anything on GC.

At the moment we haven't decided yet what other platforms should be targeted next. We want to finish development of iOS version first.

PC and android please. This looks great. I hope I get to play it on one of my devices.

A question for Zsolt:

Perhaps my question is a bit too early, but now that you guys are doing such a great job on recreating Zaccaria tables, are there any future plans on the horizon to release original tables from other pinball manufacturers? (Like TPA is doing) I don't know exactly about licensing issues but I believe there are a lot of great 'no license' pinball machines out there.

It's going to be the way you said

Of course there are. Escpecially if you know great pinball machines with no license fee, just let me know

Sounds good.

Alright folks, who of us members has some deep knowledge about 'no license' tables that are just bloody good?!

Any chance of an Android port of Zaccaria, before doing other unlicensed projects?
Please say Yes - this looks great.

Yes, there is a strong chance

Awesome! Thanks for considering this.

I saw that your Dream Pinball 3D game is on Steam. Any chance of Zaccaria being on there as well?

 

[Jeff Strong]

A Steam release would be very cool.

 

[The loafer]

+100 for an eventual pc release

 

[drdrey]

Cant wait for android release. Really want to play looks great.

 

[SilverBalls]

I would pay top money for a PC version with a portrait mode. Also android would be good too.

 

[atlantis1982]

Yes, there is a strong chance

Glad to hear of a possible Android version, or even a PC one as a few mentioned around.

Edit
