Is John Popadiuk really working on Thunderbirds Pinball?

[Pavlov Pinball]

Hi all,

I've just been talking with your man Mike Kalinowski of Homepin about Thunderbirds Pinball. Quite a few interesting things came out of it...

Cheers,

A) i would not have leed the story with Jpops possible involvement

B) pity Mike is talking to you and not his paid up customers

C) if he is not showing a prototype before September, does that mean the game is still 12 months away?

Good stuff Paul

That was a good read, nice to hear some kind of an update. Even though I'm not a TAG customer I'm interested in following its progress.
I like the sound of John P's possible involvement.

Even though John has some talent in design and vision it sounds like he would have to be driven hard to deliver. Based on what Trudeau said Zombie Yeti sounds like the man with delivering designs the same day of request.

As for the article, good read but Mike really has to start delivering a pinball not already planning on multiple other pinballs.

I hope it's not John. I wish Mike all the best with Thunderbirds and I wouldn't like to see Mike or the game tarnished by association with John.

Who cares if Jpop is the designer?

Thunderbirds was designed over two years ago, way before Jpops name was trashed

You're right but when the guys reportedly knocked a million dollars off people. Some of those people will care regardless of whether it's right or wrong.

It's only speculation at this point that it is John anyway.

"Whoever the designer is, Kalinowski says the playfield design is now about 90% complete."

It was certainly announced well over 2 years ago, but it sounds like it is still currently being designed and perhaps on the fly given the recently added illuminated backbox panels and now change in stance from standard orange DMD to colour LCD/LED.

I have heard this rumor and if true who would seriously buy one after all the shite Jpop has caused lately?
Jpop's reputation is tarnished beyond repair now, he is a crook.
No way in the world I would touch one let alone buy one if he was involved.

I care, the guy is a scumbag thief and he belongs in jail.

Whenever the words are spoken, trouble follows. April fools joke, right?
So many questions Pete, I gave up asking as all I get is slammed. You should be better informed than you obviously are.
Wonder who's balls will be in the machine?  Oh god why did I say that

I just want to be optimistic
But my optimism is being tested today ;)

What stage is the game at as I have not been following it? Design drawing, white wood, proto???

Who really knows, your guess is as good as any.
