Roxy Raccoon's Pinball Panic News

[h2]Audio[/h2]

• Added 4 new voice lines for the Witch/Donna announcer.
  
• Modified/improved the bush rollover sound effects.
  
• The alternate announcer pack can no longer be used in Story Mode.
  
• Improved the randomness in which the announcer says voice lines, meaning it is now impossible to hear the same line twice in a row.
  
• Improved the variety of sounds on the following table mechanics: bumpers, targets, slingshots & flippers.
  

[h2]Misc & UI.[/h2]

• The 2 announcer options were renamed from Witch & Priestess to Donna & Nala.
  
• The How to Play screens have been given scrollbars for better readability.
  
• A Story Mode section was added to the How to Play Section.
  
• Leaderboards for the new Pirate tables are now live.
  
• Fixed a bug where the customization screen rotated the characters/balls at different speeds on different machines.
  
• Behind the Scenes Optimization
  

Next week will be the next pinball DLC, these will be Pirate Centric. The theme was chosen as it ties in well with the new villain from Roxy Raccoon's Bowling Bash. I also decided to implement Kickback on both tables as it was brought to my attention that none of my previous tables used this mechanic. After programming and adding the feature into the game, I retroactively added the mechanic to Silly Circus and included it in the new Bowling Bash table as well.
I have gone back to the 1 regular table and 1 wide table format and will do so for the next DLC as well, I hope to have that one out in November. I was already asked and sadly, no there will not be a October/Halloween DLC. I fear that it may be too similar to Ghoulish Games and I want to add more variety to the tables. I also need more time to develop the tables and I do not want to rush them out.

I am pleased to announce that there will be a free expansion coming to the game next week to celebrate the launch of Roxy Raccoon's Bowling Bash.
I have put together a small trailer showcasing some of the content which is attached to the bottom of the page.
There will be full patch notes released next week to explain everything in full detail.
Here are some key features of the update: New chapter in story mode (new cutscene), one new table, an alternate announcer, an unlockable bowling ball, 3 more cosmetic items & fur colors.

I will also be putting the game on sale, including all DLC. So now would be a good time to spread the word and to pick up any DLC you may be interested in! ːGrenadierː

• There is a new Thunderbird which has been added to the following tables: Radical Railway, Wacky West. It replaces one of the ravens on each table.
  
• Cleaned up the ending cutscene.
  
• Minor behind the scenes optimization.
  
• Performance improvements on Great Gamble & Graceful Games.
  

Side note:
You may see achievements and leaderboards have already gone up, this is for testing purposes and the update won't be live until next week!


Cheers!

• Added Kickback.

• Barrel sound effects on Cowboy County improved
  
• Lowered volume on Spark boxes on charming chopper & hectic highway

• Tables with more than 1 set of flippers have had their volume normalized to account for additional flippers
  

• The trials screen has been cleaned up - Titles of quests are underlined
  
• Rapid Ryan on main menu is no longer using his Magic outline
  
• Fixed a ball stuck location on Blissful Builder
  
• Fixed a bug related to the new cutscene
  
• Fixed a bug where the DMD volume did not always load the saved volume
  
• Behind the scenes optimization
  
• Raceways have received performance improvements.
  

I will start off by saying that Nectar has now been released and that development of Roxy Raccoon's Bowling Bash has been gone much better than expected, so I am ahead of my planned schedule.

That being said, there will still be no August DLC for pinball but I do plan on releasing something else exciting instead... details to follow in the near future.

My game plan in the future is to release a DLC pack approximately every 2 months, I will be going back to the 2 table per pack format. 2 Months is not set in stone, some tables take longer than others and it may be a 3 month gap in-between packs.

I would also like to continue to have a "focused theme" to both tables and focus on something new each time.

That being said, it's been brought to my attention that none of my existing tables use the Kickback mechanic, so I will be using it in both of the tables in the next pack. I also took a look at the pre-existing tables and saw that Silly Circus was an ideal candidate where I could easily add it in without changing the layout of the table.



Stay tuned Roxy fans, big things are coming!
