Joyous Japan DLC Launch & Overhauled Nudge/Tilt Mechanics

Joyous Japan DLC!


New Nudging/Tilt System
  • Physics/Gameplay wise the new system is identical to the old, the main difference is the timing.
  • Previously the game allowed you to nudge the table every 0.7 seconds before a tilt would occur.
  • The new system now allows for 3 nudges. Each one has it's own timer of 1.2 seconds. If all 3 are on cooldown and you try to nudge a 4th time, the table will be tilted.

DLC Discussion

The next DLC pack will be released in two weeks. I've taken you to the Wild West, now it is time for the Far East! One of the unique gimmicks introduced with this DLC pack are mini playfields with controllable bumpers. One of the two tables also has a time limited mission.
I am keeping to the 1 regular table and 1 wide table format. If all goes smoothly, I will be putting out a DLC once every two months.
Work on Roxy Raccoon 2: Topsy-Turvy is currently well underway. That game will have its own library of unique minigames in the Arcade section. What this means is that I will be developing a slew of minigames that are not related to pinball, however, I plan on porting those over to Pinball as a free bonus.


Bug Fixes/Misc.
  • Odd One Out & Memory Matcher will now use the appropriate announcer selected by the player.








Language Localization & Arcade Expansion

Language & Localization Update!

  • If a language is missing a translation, it will default to English.
  • New users will be presented a language select screen upon launch, pre-existing players can select their language from the Audio screen.
  • If you would like to contribute or know someone who would be wanting to do so, feel free to reach out to me.
