Final Art and Pricing is in…..

"Here is the final backglass art for AMH, illustrated by local Madison area artist Kevin Hill.

We've completed our BOM, built a few units already and have the PCB design finalized, so we're feeling confident that a price of $5995 will be sustainable for the production run of this game.

Once we have time to document it, we will also sell the single-board "pinheck" pinball system, for other homebrew pinball enthusiasts. This will probably retail around $350-$400.

Spooky Pinball Shop tour:"

- The backgalss translite is done with gravestones having details of the ghost.
- The price dropped a little as the price of the Pinheck controller system came in under price and there is no computer system

AMH Updates:

Chuck is building the first 5 games now. The public will be able to play a "completely completed" one at MGC in April, with final board set & GI lighting. They will have started shipping by that time as well.

Kernel Updates: Now that the game rules are done (imagine that!) I am going back and improving the audio/video kernel. This greatly improves sound effect fetch time, DMD playback, adds 16 shade support, many new graphic and number display options, sprite support, etc. Not only will this be helpful for Chuck's zombie game, but for anyone else who might want to use this system in their own homebrews.

Joe Anderson is recording his lines as the new "Team Leader"

I believe I will have enough time to switch AMH over to 16 shade mode. There are a lot of animations, but our new converter tools make it easy (a year ago it was command line!)

Andrew (Blue Shirt) and I are having a President's Weekend Code Jam. We're going to debug even more, and add some cool diagnostics features. One will be an optional "Voice Switch", where the game speaks which switch you're hitting, in case you've got the PF up and can't see the DMD

Spooky shipped out there first sold pin with a wizard mode and fairly polished code, and it looks like it is getting a good review at recent shows. Proper boxes are coming next week and once they get up and running they are going to see what they can do about getting they to Aus freight wise.

I was on the list for one of the first 25 but had to bump back due to no job at the time of payment required 3 months ago. But I am still on the list for later on once they can work out who / how they can bring a batch in to Aus.

Long video, but a showcase on how good this game really plays. I like the theme and the modes. Very cool !

A quick gameplay from Allentown pinball show. The sound was a bit off as they blew a speaker trying to beat all the other games near them.

Thanks for the video links. The 5yo loves the combination of two of his favourite things - ghosts and elevators!

I'm guessing all 100 are sold/allocated?

[swinks]

they won't be stopping at 100, rather start building batches of the next game and then switch back to ones still in demand. If interested send you name as he is delaying the Aussie ones as wants to send in one batch (thats the intention anyway). I am still on the list, waiting but probably a good thing to let me save the dollars.
