I see where you are coming from Rob and must agree that I like the idea of the sling shot flippers and slightly more exposed pops in the wrestle mania but would love to see more innovation in design for game play and of maintenance.

I like that concept Nick and think it would be cool if there wasn't even a shooter lane but balls launched from your idea, or from the centre of the apron - with one negative that it sort of removes the skill shot.


At the moment I have had alot of enjoyment in doodling game ideas and 3d modelling to design my own game to one day build. I like a fan layout but I want the game different in the way of rules and have a exposed pop for randomness and hopefully a few fresh mechs / toys. I like the idea of instead of shooting for this lane and ramp x times to get a goals that you have to hit the pops x 50 to achieve a particular goal and visit the inlanes to the flippers (to spell certain inserts) to activate a particular mech - this way you can play the game differently every time and the game evolves as you play but then use the ramps and loop shots in the way of a track to follow to get to the next game feature release.

I designed a removeable shooter lane piece as a way of being able to replaceable shooter lane to replace when it is looking sad, or change out to a colour to suit a theme or have it made in a clear or translucent material so you could have a lighting feature underneath it.
