Buffy the Vampire Slayer - re-theme with a lcd
« on: July 06, 2013, 09:08:55 AM »
Here is a pin being re-themed with a p-roc system along with a LG LCD monitor intergrated into the dmd location.

The guy has done the art for the cabinet and translite and still yet to the playfield and rules. The video is showing the cab art and the lcd with a video running through it to show the quality.

This size lcd looks sweet.  ^^^

the donor game is a Williams Swords of Fury

Nice!

Perfect size for an LCD also. Still enough room for a classic translite and something to look at when the machine is turned off.

Cheers!
Adam.

this machine is progressing - with new cabinet trim and went from a re-theme to changing the playfield with a new graphics.

The lcd is looking good as well as he is doing dots effect over video on a small lcd. He is designing with a simple switch to turn off the dots in a matter of seconds which is a nice touch.

Welcome to the forum Dave!

I was a huge Buffy fan back in the day (and love Sarah's work in the Crazy Ones at the moment).

Looking forward to seeing the progress.

Thanks guys!

Yeah, I had no clue how much work would be involved in doing this. Granted, when I first started, my vision was not nearly as big as it turned out to be. I am very happy with the progress and the game play that we have developed so far though. My biggest problem now is knowing when to stop! %.% It seems like every day I come up with a new idea for something to ad.

swinks: Thanks for sharing this here. I always love talking to people about the project! As for my website, it looks nice, but is a pain to update! ^.^ So, I have started slacking on the website and doing more updating my Facebook page or my thread on the pinballcontrollers.com forum. It is way easier for me that way!  ^^^

pinnies4me: I actually love all things Whedon. Anything he touches is fantastic! However, Buffy is my favorite out of all of his stuff (hence the pin).  I love the Crazy Ones too! I like seeing the comedic side of Sarah.

I have been following your work and others on pinballcontrollers.com (I am swinks there as well) and wanted to share with those interested here, but unfortunately you will always get someone passing a negative comment just for the sake of it.

Hopefully I can start my custom pin here and on pinballcontrollers in the near future, but since it is a whole new pin not a retheme I have a massive task ahead of me so have a bit of designing to do before I release info.

keep up the good work - looks very professional.

I think the cabinet artwork is better than Stern's ! The theme is great - Almost a horror theme, with a lead actress who is easy on the eyes  :D

The donor game SOF is a fantastic player. I'm not usually a huge fan of re-themes, but I like what I see. Well done.

It's pinball and pinball people are far too precious, any hint of a opinion or idea that is not to the masses liking and the pitchforks come out.
These people need to get over themselves big time.

Sorry dude, I can't like something just because it's pinball, there are far too many yes men in this hobby as it is for me to be another one of the sheep.
Best of luck with your project but Buffy....cmon seriously.
