My Own Title.

[Olivia_jason]

was playing pinbal lat the shop and got a thinking about a pinball title i would build but never will, lol

After much brainstorming in my head at the time, the title is called "Attack Dog"

a more comical game the general basis of the game is to turn your family dog into a killer attack dog to destroy a neighbor you hate.
lol,
the idea is you to use the pinball to taunt your dog to make him angry, and eventually he gets so angry there is a break through the gate feature, that releases your multi ball, you have to use the multiball to hit drop targets that are people, if you fail to hit the correct amount of people the dog turns on you or your dog is picked up by the council, lol. if you hit the correct amount of people with the ball you move on to higher round.
pretty much i figure you have a dog house where you have a trail of play-field lights you have to light up by hitting certain ramps and parts around the play field and shoot the ball into the dog house, once the trail is lit starting at bored dog, happy dog, angry dog then absolutely pissed off dog, you then need to complete "break the gate" feature and you hit the ball through a gate and the ball is held until you build the lock up with the amount of balls needed, once completed the gate feature the multiball feature starts, and you start hitting balls at the neighbors these neighbor drop targets only pop up on multiball.

well thats about as far as i got in my day dreaming whitest playing pinball, lol any ideas to add to my rules or playfield layout for my never to be built ever title "attack dog" would be greatly appreciated lol

my missus said it was a shit theme, she might be right but with good rules i recon it would be sweet lol

Sounds great, a bit like a version of Junkyard on acid...it already has the doghouse...needs high level nudity, drive by shootings and drug use as well.
Winner!

I actually like it, got a bit of potential and it would be fun though you h=may have to consider the soundtrack as you don't want to hear dogs backing all the time nor "Who let the dogs out". Car sounds people talking while the dog is crusin around the streets even his thoughts of what he can smell. Maybe a dog on heat wizard mode  .

Never say never.

Do you have a bad neighbour, lol

good point nah no constant dog barking maybe a crazy erratic fast sound track to simulate a dog going rampant,lol something that throws you off your game also and get the heart rate up.
 there would be no way in hell who let the dogs out would be on this machine,
i like the idea of a dog on heat part, maybe the neighbor you want to kill has a dog on heat? the dog we are are trying to stir up is  male, Maybe there is a premature gate break where the dog gets out to go to the neighbors dog who is on heat?, which lowers your angry dog build, so if the dog breaks the gate on its own before getting angry it roots the dog next door instead of attacking your neighbor whilest lowering your angry dog buils. need another target in that situation that comes up in dog on heat feature that is maybe kick the bitch??? and that sends your dog back home. how does that sound??? lol ahahaha..

whilest the dog is humping the neighbors dog and lowering your angry dog build, the dmd is showing a timer with your angry dog build lowering, and you must complete the kick the bitch mode before you build drops back to bored dog.

as for sounds when your dog has broken the gate in anger and you hit the neighbor drop targets you get a dog growling then you hear bloody scream with a gross dmd display. Im thinking the wizard mode would be you getting a chance to get your dog to savage the neighbor you hate the most, the other neighbors on the drop target are just the other neighbors in the street who are necessary collateral damage to get to the final neighbor you hate the most ahaha, what do you recon of that and how would you get to the final mode?

EXCELLENT BLOODY IDEA AND THEME

I have a few additions for you  

1.   you let your dog shit on your neighbours lawn as many times as possible for bonus extra ball
2.   you let your dog eat the neighbours cats for double points
3.   you let your dog bark for one hour each night at 2am for triple points
4.   you let your dog bite the neighbour often for a extended multiball
5.   you let your dog bite the postman daily for bonus points
6.   you let your dog dig in your neighbours garden for bonus ball
7.   you let your dog piss on your neighbours leg for a free game

   I reckon Stern should make your game next. EXCELLENT

i like those as little mini games, is that what you were thinking? how would you recon would be best to fit them in with the main game would be, and what would you need to do to make those happen? maybe if during the break the gate at "dog on heat mode", after "kick the bitch" lol depending at what level of angry dog build you were at, one of those mini games would start.
 for example if your dog breaks out for dog on heat and your build lock is say "bored dog", the dog goes out and digs the neighbors yard. or if the dog breaks the gate for "dog on heat" feature and its angry dog build then the dog bites the post man, and you are rewarded for completing those mini games that come once the dog breaks out for "dog on heat" and you have kicked the bitch. lol then your dog is back in the yard and you go back to the main game.
do you recon that would work and fits in those mini games into the main game???

you people have too much spare time......

[Caveoftreasures]

make them all modes.lol

If Stern releases your Angry Dog Pinball Game, u might get royalties $$$     

[Olivia_jason]

with the theme and rules sort of worked out, enough for a pinball that will never happen anyways. lol

time to move onto the play field design.
I'm thinking the playfield is divided up into 4 as far as graphics go,
top right right dedicated to our back yard, top left the neighbors you want to destroys back yard,
bottom the road and your house, bottom left the road and neighbors house.
flippers set on the road out the front between the tow houses.
there is a drawn fence-line between the two houses on the playfield
Your dog house is ball capture area, and in front a trail of playfield lights showing your dogs anger build.
Some where up the back middle playfield down the fence line is a tunnel that goes down under the playfield and up into the neighbors yard, so it looks like the dog has dug into the blokes yard, it might possibly capture the ball for multiball later and release it on the other side of the fence line once you have broken the gate feature and also adds to your anger build. ???
There would need to be a actual gate area, and under playfield ramp where balls caught in the dog house travel down to where ever the gate is situated ready to be released when the dog breaks the gate on the totally pissed off level.
i am also thinking the balls are released from the gate, and one ball from the tunnel.

during the "dog on heat" mode the game would just let one ball out maybe from the tunnel under the fence to put you in the "kick the bitch" game, maybe a spinner some where on the left side where you hit the ball to "kick the bitch" to stop the anger build from draining? once that is completed or failed you go into the mini game as suggested above to help build extra balls or more score. unless your ball drains which in that case would eliminate you from the mini game.

I recon some drop targets would be placed on both front lawns on the playfield, that only pop up in multiball, and those targets are your other neighbors, they dont popup at other times because they would get in the way of the other games like "dog on heat". lol what do people recon of a layout like that with out adding to much more to the rules and using the rules we have what would we add to the layout and how to make those features and games work???

Stern should give you a job in game design. some very original and funny ideas there.

[Olivia_jason]

you people have too much spare time......

do you wanna design the boards for our "attack dog"  pinball that will never happen??
what boards would we need??? lol

or maybe i shouldn't play pinball at work?? lol i think my missus would agree with that lol


edit, one idea i just got, to actually successfully kill the neighbor you have to have a high score in the final round. meaning you have to better your self every time,
im thinking also if you get your self into the final level you have 60seconds of unlimited multiball, bit like wcs94 however unlike wcs there could be an auto shooter to return the drained ball into the field, and that is where you use that time to try and set the biggest score. you only succeed at getting your dog to kill the neighbor if you set the highest score in that round, if not you have to build back up to the final round to try again. does that sound good?? virtually the better you get the harder you make it for your self to beat the game ahahaha.

[swinks]

How about this for a design:

Have a upper playfield that is right across the back slightly horse shoe shaped so narrow in the centre with one flipper one each side with a ramp entrance / exit with a one flipper at each side trying to keep the ball live up there to hit the targets. This playfield represents the neighbours back yard that also has the dog on heat fenced in. To access the yard ramp on either side (representing the side gates to the back yard) that can be opened up by game goal achieved where the ramp lowers (similar to creature) during a time period or multiball. In addition a VUK in the centre that a drop target needs to be hit X amount of times to allow access to the VUK (represents dig under the fence. In the extra playfield have the design based on a backyard, bbq, tree, cubby house, dog bowl – where you get points for searching / trashing each of these objects which then reveals the guy to attack.

The main playfield can have  the graphics of the street environment that your dog can venture around with the goal of getting into the guys back yard, with maybe a garage built into the lower playfield going under the top playfield representing the guys stored prized possession (a hot rod or games room). With the ramps up and top playfield in-accessible the loop around is the dog running around the block looking to get in.

Dog on heat mode could be multiball with all the balls representing dogs trying to get into the backyard to have a go.


You send it off to Stern.... lol

No play more pinball at work when you can and keep these wacky original ideas comming.
If you kill the neighbor maybe the cops could show up with police dogs and you have a top dog battle wizard mode...lol
