Bugfixes!

[p]I spent all of Sunday testing, searching, and finding!

Fixed a bug where sometimes a ball was ejected too early, resulting in two balls being in the shooter lane.

Fixed a bug where a ball wasn't ejected during ball saves if two or three balls fell into the drain almost simultaneously.

Fixed a bug that prevented the ship lights from advancing during the third mission.[/p]

The new pinball machine “Black Pirate” is here!

[p]Load your ship's cannons and play with up to 4 balls at the same time.[/p][p]Complete 7 missions for fame, glory, and of course gold![/p][p]Go on a treasure hunt, travel, explore, fight, and shake off your pursuers to get the big prize in the end.[/p][p]Because you're not just anyone, you're the Black Pirate![/p][p] [/p][p]Enough chatter! ːsteamhappyː[/p][p]But I wanted to mention one more thing:
[/p][p]This time, the music isn't mine, but by Nicole Marie T., a musician from the UK whom I know from Twitter.[/p][p]I can't do orchestral music. I don't have the equipment or the skill for that![/p][p] [/p][p]Of course, the new pinball machine also comes with a few bug fixes and adjustments.[/p][p]Here and there, I've corrected a spelling mistake or fixed a broken camera movement.[/p][p] [/p][p]Now I hope you enjoy playing.[/p][p]See you on the leaderboard![/p]

The new pinball machine “Black Pirate” is almost finished.

[p]There's news![/p][p]The new pinball machine “Black Pirate” is almost finished.[/p][p]The last few bugs are being fixed, a few minor Steam adjustments still need to be made, and everything will be thoroughly tested once again.[/p][p]Finally![/p][p]This pinball machine has taken a really long time, and you're probably wondering why.[/p][p]A little bit of everything, but the rendered animations for the full-color display were the biggest time sink. I had underestimated that a little. But never mind.[/p][p]It's done and it's about to be released.[/p][p] [/p][p]Friday is the day, so start practicing your finger exercises!ːsteamhappyː[/p][p] [/p][p]And this is what it looks like:[/p][p] [/p][p] [/p][p]Have fun![/p]

Version 0.2.0.6 – Game engine update and various adjustments.

[p]Hello pinball fans.[/p][p] [/p][p]I have updated the game engine and made some adjustments for the new pinball machine.[/p][p]However, the new machine will take a few more weeks before it is ready to play. The logic is not quite finished yet and some textures and display animations are still missing.
[/p][p][/p][p]The current status of the Black Pirate pinball machine.[/p][p] [/p][p]It is now also possible to set the scenery to black (see image). This was requested by some players and was easy to implement.[/p][p]In the Game tab of the menu, you will now find an extra section for the environment.[/p][p]This setting is also saved separately for each table.[/p][p]And, of course, I have solved minor problems and readjusted a few things.[/p][p] [/p][p]So, let's continue![/p]

Status update.

[p]Hello pinball friends![/p][p] [/p][p]It's time for a new status update.[/p][p]Not that you think I'm taking a whole month's vacation. 😉[/p][p] [/p][p]No, I'm working hard on the new pinball machine and am currently working on many things at once. That's why it's not so easy to show anything new. Although, the backglass is completely finished and the name of the pinball machine is on it.[/p][p]Here it is:[/p][p] [/p][p]I'm right in the middle of everything else, and it's gradually coming together.[/p][p]However, I haven't even started on the animations for the DMD yet. I'm curious to see how long it will take me. 😉

I'm saving time on the music because this time it won't be mine. I want orchestral pirate music, which I'm not very good at. That's why I'm buying the pieces from a nice person I know from Twitter (X). I've already picked out a few pieces and can say that it's going to be really good.[/p][p]So, I'm on the right track and it will take some time.[/p][p]But that's okay, because it's still summer.[/p]
