Way back when, my first table was themed on Mr. Potter's exploits, and though I learned a great deal from that project, in the end I think I tried to put too much stuff into it, didn't really know jack about building playfields, so that was a clunky mess, and so on and so forth.
Well, earlier this week I started getting some ideas on a second re-imagining of this theme and I started cobbling together this little WIP. I may tinker with this whenever I get tired of converting my release tables.
I don't have a title for this yet, but this particular table will center around Years 1-4, and it will be a far simpler table than the last one. What I had in mind was a couple of multiballs (a 2-ball and a 3-ball), and 1-2 modes which are timed, but that may be about it.
I'm going the 80s-style solid-state route this time, with Bendigo's Gottlieb-style LED lights for the displays. I played around with his LED code test table and I really liked the Gottlieb-style digits, and I think they'll look pretty good on this when everything's in place. He had a slick way of controlling the light segments that I (with my clunky way of doing things sometimes) could never have thought of. Might have to try to implement what he did n my sports-scoreboard tables as his code is far more efficient than what I came up with.
The playfield is far from done, but I figure I've got enough give folks a peek.
