Re: New AFM enhancement

The video doesn't show any gameplay - it seems to be just another LED add on - how is gameplay affected? I would prefer it doesn't claim a gameplay enhancement if it does not.

Hi Pinnies4me, you raise some interesting points, so I'll go through them:

"This video doesn't show any gameplay" - intersting. The 1 minute video is an extract from a 5 minute video of me playing my AFM (I'm not very good) and highlights two key areas of the gameplay (in my opinion): firstly when the mothership is hit (which you need to do quite a lot during a game in order to save the cities); secondly the start of multiball (which is needed in order to get a super jackpot which is required to "rule the universe". So if these two extracts don't show gameplay, what should I call it? I'm open to suggestions.

"it seems to be just another LED add on" - interesting. As the original mothership already has LEDs in it, it's not an LED add-on per se. It's also not an LED modification, as this would just (typically) change the colour of the LEDs. It uses bi-colour LEDs which change colour during the game and not randomly, but are tied in to the - dare I say it - gameplay

"how is gameplay affected" - this is exactly my point. Gameplay is NOT affected at all - just enhanced. With the GozMod, the Mothership looks ike it's exploding from within and not just shaking about. This enhances the visual impact - once again, in my opinion.

"I would prefer it doesn't claim a gameplay enhancement if it does not". So what would you call it, if it's not an enhancement - a "mod which changes the colour of the LEDs in accordance with the game's story without affecting gameplay" maybe?
