Folks have been asking me a ton of stuff, but here are a few questions I will answer reguarding my tables / works in VPX.
Q. What version am I using?
A. VPX 6
Q. What screen size do you use?
A. 1920x1080 HD. If you use lower end screen sizes you may not get the full effect of my work. Play using a 1920x1080 HD dpi monitor.
Q. Do you make full screen or cab tables?
A. No an I never will - my tables are made for the computer desktop players who have been so terribly ignored since the "cab" boom.
Q. Where can I get cab games of your work?
A. The ONLY person allowed to make ANY of my works to cabs is Itchigo at Rogue Pinball. He is the ONLY PERSON who has permission to do so otherwise you're out of luck. Start playing my tables on a computer screen. I do. Like I said, I make tables for those folks who use a PC.
Q. Do you allow "modding" of any of your tables?
A. Yes as long as you keep it to yourself, otherwise I don't care. Graphics are NOT allowed to be tampered with without MY VERBAL PERMISSION and the reason for this is that if I can find proper images, ask for images or even redraw images you can do the same. Remember, I am doing all the work for the table I am giving to you free of charge, I'm not asking for anything else in return. I SHARE what I make and make tables play as properly and correctly as possible. I even ask for rules and how a table plays according to those rules from people WHO OWN actual machines. I strive for REALISM in my relelases and if they don't play properly or look properly I normally will not release a table. I also UPDATE tables over time; something many authors won't do.
Q. Do you actually redraw play fields and everything else on them?
A. Depends on the image or graphic found. If the image is "skewed" or way off from being absolutely usable I WILL redraw an entire play field to the best of my ability and for as much realism as possible. I will also draw wood and labels as well by hand. I love to draw but HATE scripting.
Q. What is the longest period of time it has taken you to release a single table?
A. TWO YEARS. Exhibit's Contact was the table to be exact. This table is coming to VPX asap.
Q. What tables do you support from the past that you have created?
A. VP9 and VPX only. Older works I no longer support.
Q. Are you the only pre war pin machine author?
A. Not exactly but I am extremely fond of these machines from the 1940's and older as long as they are coin operated. I also enjoy making vertical skill pin machines and scramball type of machines as well. I've done a few puzzle games as well for VP as I am a puzzle fanatic.
Q. How many people ASK for your tables or are you asked to make them?
A. Both actually. I have a TON folks asking for my tables (at the site that shall not be named). I've also been asked to make over 100 tables that are 1940's or earlier pre war pin machines. I am currently backlogged on works in progress for VPX 6.
Q. Do you play your own releases?
A. All the time. Especially when I'm bored or my health takes a downturn and I need something to pass the time. I enjoy all of them.
Q. What kind of machine are you using to make your tables?
A. A Dell Precision 7500 (50 pound server computer). 12 cores at 2.66GHz (two processors). An MSI/ATI GX Radeon 480 with 8GB of memory and 24GB of RAM on the motherboard. 7 hard drives; one SAS platter drive, one regular SATA platter drive. 5 are SSD. I use all this with Windows 7 64 bit OS.
I hope this answers a lot of questions I've been asked and if not, please feel free to post below or contact me via email. I am trying my best to get tables out (which many of you have been asking for more) but with my current health issues it has been slow. Please be patient and please give me time. I have some nice stuff coming and hope you'll like it. I will not go into specifics about my health since explaining it would not be a nice thing to read. Sorry about that.
Anyway, a bit more patience and time and you'll see the tables come. I'll see you on the "nudging" side of pre war pin machines and how much fun they really are.
Yes, I'll say it for those folks at the site that doesn't want to be named; "Long live flipperless and pre war machines forever".
Thanks guys.
