Pinball Magazine & Pinball News PINcast April 2023 recap

“if you're hyping a game that much up front, at some point you lose all your credibility but also that you also reveal or announce a whole bunch of future titles which tends to take the focus off your launch title”

“I mean, if you follow Pinball Adventures on their Instagram, like I do, you get these videos which are supposed to trigger you about the game... if that's a feature that has to sell you on the game i'm not so sure i mean i think the main there's another one about lag levels... i'm not sure I mean I would probably improve with or try to get people to talk about gameplay instead of like oh yeah they have these really tiny features that nobody cares about”

“Well, that's what DeepRoot did, and look what happened to them. That's true. Well, they never actually managed to sell any games, did they? No. So, kudos to Pinball Adventures for going the same route but actually being able to put out a game.”

“It's a completely different direction. It uses all the same hardware on the play field... the rules have been expanded and reimagined... it's basically a similar kind of take on it as Funhouse Rudy's Nightmare.”

“I think there's a lot of similarities in the team who did the second title and the Funhouse game... the programmer is probably the same... hardware system anyway”

“the build quality of the Fathom Revisited games that we have seen is basically through the roof”

“if you purchase a series tickets you'll be guaranteed a game regardless of whether it will sell out your game is reserved so it's sort of like showing a sign of you're supporting the company and you're willing to buy another four titles from them aside from Fathom which is a good way to get customers to commit to your company”

“I think you can buy two premium machines for that kind of money... You need to be big fans of the Fighting Alini in order to bid on those.”
