Pinball Magazine & Pinball News Bonus PINcast: Interview with Daniel Janson about ABBA pinball
It's time to join Jonathan from Pinball Magazine and Martin from Pinball News for a special bonus PINcast featuring an extended interview with Pinball Brothers CEO, Daniel Janson. They talk about the latest Pinball Brothers release, ABBA, to find out how the game came to be created, what's in the game right now, what's going to be in it eventually, what changes they have made, and Pinball Brothers' plans for production of this and future titles. They discuss the recent ABBA pinball launch party, the multiple elements which go to make up the game, who was involved in creating all the assets, and the possibility of a third, unlimited version of the game. There's so much to discuss, so join Daniel as he explains the rules and how it all ties-in so closely to the ABBA Voyage holographic stage show. It's all in this special Pinball Industry News PINcast - the pinball podcast the industry listens to.
