AGS Cycling Pinball!

Jim Reed an FSi present:

AGS Cycling Pinball!

The Story:

I have managed to implement some basic physics, for a pinball ball, after many tries. I played around with it a bit but otherwise it was just for testing. One day FSi came to me, asking if I was up to making a pinball game in AGS. He provided some more code, and I did the graphics, and luckily, we have been able to produce a tech demo with one playable table so far.

Please post any feedback you can, thank you!

Main menu (will be redrawn later):

The only table available so far:

Note to moderator: We currently don't have two in game screenshots, as the game will only feature one table. (Quality over quantity is our motto), so please don't lock the thread on the count of the two in game screenshot rule.

Development Progress:

Scripting: 95% (most of the things have been scripted, but few minor quirks need to be ironed out)
Graphics: 70% (the table is done, I'm working on the GUIs now)
Sound/Music: 0% (Looking for a musician and sound effect man)

Expected completion date:
If we manage to find someone to do the music and sfx, we might be able to release it as soon as we put the music in.

Controls:
Space - plunger
LCTRL - left flipper
RCTRL - right flipper
LSHFT - left bump
RSHFT - right bump
Enter - bottom bump

By pressing the left bump and left flipper buttons (works for the other, too) you can simulate the famous power hit, eg, smacking the flipper button hard, bumping the table a little in the process.

EDIT:

Mirror 2

I have tested this link extensively, it should work.
Please try this one first.

Wow, the demo is real fun

I especially liked the part with the pinball.

Keep coming with the news, I'm already excited! I knew you two could do it!

Khris · Thu 01/04/2010 11:42:09

The link links back to the post...?

I wanna try this!

It's April 1st though, hmm.

Jim Reed · Thu 01/04/2010 11:48:28

I tested it, it works just fine.

Try it again, and if it doesn't work I'll post a mirror.

Khris · Thu 01/04/2010 11:53:59

When I move the mouse over "DOWNLOAD", it says "http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=40524.msg535342#msg535342" in the status bar.
It also says that in the URL tag when I quote the post.

Could you put just the url here for a sec?

Wonkyth · Thu 01/04/2010 11:58:10

IT works fine for me.

Love the game, jim.
will there ever be any more tables?

FSi++ · Thu 01/04/2010 11:59:27

NVM him, I will post a mirror.

NsMn · Thu 01/04/2010 11:59:41

This is weird! Now it doesn't work for me either $:-\$

At least I already have the demo. Would you like me to re-upload or send it to you, Khris?

Jim Reed · Thu 01/04/2010 12:00:48

There, I added a mirror. Maybe the first host is down Kris, so it's re-directioning you back here?
Please try the mirror.

Khris · Thu 01/04/2010 12:04:58

NsMn: That would be great, thanks!

Jim, thanks for the mirror but the problem remains. It's not that the host is down or something like that; when I quote your post I see this:

I remember having encountered this before; I believe it's a bug in the forum software.

That's why I asked for the link in text-only form.

Jim Reed · Thu 01/04/2010 12:06:18

Something is maybe wrong with your browser.
I mirrored it on Rapidshare, try it again, please.

Khris · Thu 01/04/2010 12:13:33

It's not my browser, I tried Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera. Same thing everywhere.
When I look at the page source, the DOWNLOAD link links back to the message containing it.
The mirror does link to rapidhare now though, I'll try that. The page stated 0KB as filesize though.

Edit: the download limit has been reached

Please post the URL of the first link as text only.

Also, if this is a dragged out april fool's joke, it ceased being funny half an hour ago

Jim Reed · Thu 01/04/2010 12:43:51

There, I added a second mirror, it should really work.

Matti · Thu 01/04/2010 12:56:27

Nice.

Wonkyth · Thu 01/04/2010 13:03:09

Whee!
This rocks!
Yay jackpot!

Jim, the commentator has mentioned a "power drive mode" several times. How do you get it?

Jim Reed · Thu 01/04/2010 13:15:33

Spoiler

You need to hit the jackpot three times in one ball to start power drive mode.

I DID IT!

Matti · Thu 01/04/2010 13:26:44

Not bad.

m0ds · Thu 01/04/2010 13:50:50

Awesome! Looks like an epic, mega game!

Wonkyth · Thu 01/04/2010 13:53:29

It is!

my current high-score: 380050 including two completed time-trials in power drive and three additional balls!
