Pinball

Freakin' sweet man, that's all I can say. Coolest thing since Foundry bowling!

 

I was making a pinball game... Well WAS... This looks really neat, in the one I made you only had brute shots, yours is much more creative then mine. Cant wait to see the finished product.

 

I think you should make a single player/team version in which the player has to prevent the ball from going into the hole. The objective of this version could be an unlockable territory, which is accessed by preventing the ball from falling into the hole until the territory is unlocked at a certain time. The consequence of the ball falling into the hole could be death. Death can be achieved by the ball activating an explosion of hidden, deadly fusion coils when falling into the hole.

 

Cool Pinball game bro! Looks really fun, love the forgetecture. The center colomn, the sheild door ball bouncing spawn thingy, multi-tiered gameplay, and don't forget the 'floating' golf balls! great stuff. As for your question, I don't really know what you mean but I do think players should score on opposite sides, the way it is in the video. If you havn't heard of split pinball, check it out, hopefully you can learn a bit from it. Good luck!

 

I voted that you score in the opponent's coloured side. I've always seen your team colour as being the side you defend in all games, so in this game you don't want the other team dropping the ball into your coloured side.

I love the idea, but at a glance it looks as though, in an actual game, whoever manages to direct the ball to their opponent's side at the very beginning is probably most likely to win overall. I say this because after that first block it would appear more difficult to change the ball's trajectory. Maybe some strategically placed mancannons that bring the ball back a bit and to the other side would help? Just a suggestion.

The scoring mechanism itself seems quite smooth, nicely done.

 

I enjoyed playing this, although i did lag out rather epicly

Keep it the way it is, theres more fun trying to get it away from your hole than just getting it towards your hole..

 

I played this during one of the play tests. It was fun, and definitely an original idea, but my criticism is that the rounds lasted too short. Not sure what you could do to fix tht though, besides, drastically changing the course. Adding another section would be nice, but I'm not sure if you have the supplies to do so. I did find that the second area for shooting from isn't very necessary.

Also I voted for the other team's hole, because during the playtest that felt like the natural thing to do.

 

Now I want to make a foosball game. I think it would be a lot of fun. Lemme know if you want to help.

 

Yet another impressive map from you. I'm interested in how this map comes to be when it is finished. If I'm on and you're testing, invite me (you should still be on my friends list, I think).

Edit: Maybe you could have one team in the actual pit defending by trying to push the ball away from either hole, or did you already try that?

 

I'm making a version where they have to go to opposite ends of the pitch with the ball.

I'm thinking I could do two modes, one is a grifball esc version where the teams use hammers to try and get the ball into the other teams "net", and another version using explosives from above, similar to your pinball.

 

Man most people stick to Infection, Slayer, MLG, etc. But you always make a variety of different unique maps that have yet seize to amaze me. Nice job!

 

Is the teleport sender still overhead? I still think you should have it so the players are standing on top of it the whole time, so when they score its an automatic win, no jumping, no looking around for the tele, BAM you win.

I mean, I could figure it out- its not rocket science, but I can totally forsee some people scoring the ball and taking a while to get the point because they didnt realize they had to jump into the teleporter AFTER they scored. Its just a tiny detail, but I think it would speed up the gameplay.

Anyways, great work man, I cant wait to see the finished product

 

I just Downloaded it and Played it. Very Nice! I do thing that you should shoot into your own net. So that way the ball doesn't get stuck in the middle while both team fight for it to not go into their own net.

 

Yeah, but then the "portal blocked" message will keep popping up if they are standing on top of the portals.

I really like the map so far man. I love mini games like this. Can't wait to DL it. It looks like it's going to be fun.

Maybe you can also add like a shield door bumper part. Like in real pinball. If the ball hits it, it ricochets in some random direction.
