Ep 98: A Scooby Doo Christmas with Bug
It's the most wonderful time of the year and we as an early Christmas gift we have Bug from Spooky on to talk about their most recent release, Scooby Doo Where Are You?
Kineticist’s take
Bug discusses Scooby-Doo pinball design, licensing, mechanics, and Spooky's code development improvements.
Synopsis
Bug from Spooky Pinball discusses the development and design philosophy behind Scooby-Doo Where Are You pinball, covering theme selection, licensing negotiations with Warner Brothers, voice actor recordings, unique mechanical features (upper bookcase flipper, apron ball locks), code development progress, and the three edition tiers (Standard, Bloodsucker, Collector's). The conversation emphasizes Spooky's commitment to differentiation from Stern through unconventional design choices and improved code launch readiness following Halloween's shortcomings.
