Well, you may have heard my talk about this before. I have been working on an AGS pinball machine. I've tried many designs and styles, though I'm not happy with them... I was thinking maybe a contest where you draw what you think AGS Pinball should look like or whatever and then I would make the winner's. Agree, dissagree? Should I even try it? Give me your thoughts...
I think you should. That would be very cool. You could put the Adventure Game Studio banner somwhere on it.
and by this you mean a pinball game created IN ags?
cause if so i say don't bother, get a better engine ment for things like that

No no, it is done in a pinball engine... I just dont know what I want (or you for that matter) it to look like... :)
Oh, I was going to say, go nuts on the shakescreen function, and youd have a tilt....
Put a Roger doll in it, like you would see Frankenstein or whatever pinball games you all have played.
An ability to put the ball into a lying down bluecup for UltraMegaPoints or maybe just 2 points...whatever.
btw, how is AGS Monopoly going... ::)
If you can get multiple balls, use rogers head.
That would funny.
You could have one part be a Forums section wear you would hit different threads or somthing like that. I don't know how good this engine is, but little things like this would make this game cool and addictive.
A contest would be interesting. Come on people! Submit!
You have to light up a number of 'suggestion' lights, in order to score a NEW FEATURE! *dingdingding*
Every landmark scoring (say... every 1,000,000 points or so) there's a Mittens gathering. You have to shoot the loop within a time limit to get an AGSer on the plane to Mittens. You keep doing this until you don't manage to shoot the loop within the time limit, at which point the Mittens gathering ends. The more AGSers you got to attend Mittens, the higher your bonus.
That's all I can think of right now.
What engine are you using? I'd be happy to make some tables! Like, a Larry Vales table. Or a Pleurghburg one, and a Lassi Quest one!

I can do all of that! Though the Bluecup thing my be hard to do. Now which layout do I do this in? This is where I need help... Mods: I'll pm it to you later today ;)
Two days ago, and I would have ignored this post. Then for some reason in the last two days, I played a pinball game and understood how to play it.
Screw smoking, i've just found pinball!
Sorry I havent pm-ed you the site m0ds. Havent gotten around to it... Well here is a screen-shot of a "mistake" I did in scripting on another table from a while back...

Do you like this style? Anybody have any ideas or drawings?... Anything?
nothing except a little red cross in a box!
why not tell us all the name of the engine and the url? how can we just make a table for you if we don't know the limitations we have?
eric
Well, I really wanted to keep it a secret because I thought I had a good idea... But if you really want it www.visualpinball.com
yeah, great idea...
but AGS Monopoly? WHY DIDNT ANYONE TELL ME!!??or why hasn't anyone told me...hmmm..
Blimey, that visual pinball is good stuff. I've just downloaded some recreations of real pinball tables (with Pinmame), and they're really well done.
The machine I will (might) make wont be as good, but hey CJ didnt make AGS in one try... We're at what, version 2.6?
Here's a good design: http://www.jditmars.net/BANG/BANG.htm (http://www.jditmars.net/BANG/BANG.htm)
