Hi,
Here are some pictures about Pinball Creator features:

 

Awesome!

This looks very interesting. I would be interested in this in order to make older style pinball games like from the 70's and 80's.

 

Thank you.

 

Nice screenshots...
Hmmm... when you say "Pinball Creator" do you mean tables only or (I hope) a whole playable pinball with scripts, balls and so on ??????
I have a doubt...

Hi,
Here the demo table in action.

 

How soon until this is released? I definitely plan on getting it!

 

Hi StevenPicard,
We need to polish some details + Unity approval (about 10 days).
So we hope the asset could be release around october 15th.

 

Hi everyone,

We added 18 new pre-build ramp in Pinball Creator asset.

Ramp and pipe system is modular then this provides unlimited possibilities.


Sky is the limit

 

I really can't wait for this.

 

Great !
My questions are : How easy is it to add OUR ramp or other objects ? What about the colliders ? And to add our "missions" ?
6R

 

Hi p6R,

You can import your ramp or objects without difficulty. Just drag and drop prefabs.

In asset there is toy animation system to trigger animation on objects.


All pinball features (ramp , flipper, slingshot, bumper and so on) are collider ready and ready to use.

Pinball Creator asset is provided with 450 + missions but if you want you can create your own mission. The documentation clearly explains how to create your own.

 

Thanks for your answer...
I meant "colliders" on OUR objects !?! For example if I add my own ramp how complex is the collider ?
6R

 

In Pinball Creator asset ramp are separated in 3 parts : floor, left side and right side.

Each part have a mesh collider.

 

Hi,
We have a little delay in the planning but we will try to submit the asset next week.

We have made a new video to show the potential of this asset. We use model from our asset 2.5D Medieval Fantasy Environment.

 

Nice demo! Thanks for showing us the potential. It looks really good.

I was hoping for an update letting us know when this was going to be released, but did you mean you already submitted last week? Or will be submitting this week? Next week? Sorry, your above statement was clear.

Thanks!

 

Hi StevenPicard,

Next week, we will submit the asset to unity.
So we hope the asset could be released at the beginning of november

 

Awesome. Thanks for clarifying that.

 

Hi,
Asset is waiting for approval.
We have made a new video to show how easy it is to create a Pinball :

 

I had a quick question. How well does this work on mobile?

Edit to add: I can't wait for this! Also, I would love to see a tutorial of a more complex pinball game similar to the one that uses the fantasy pack in your previous post.

 

Hi StevenPicard,

Currently, we have been focus on the desktop version. For example, we choose linear color space rendering.

The pinball we’ve create on the last video is as complex as The Fantasy Pinball.
The Medieval Environment probably gives the impression that the pinball is more complex.

Inside the asset, we have create a complet documentation to help create complex pinball.

 

Any update on when this will become available?

 

Hi Alanmthomas,

Pinball Creator is now waiting for approval. Hope it will be released this week!

 

Thanks! You'll have a customer when it comes out. I am looking for precisely this for a game I am currently working on.

 

I had a couple questions:

1. Does this support multiple flippers (more than two and of different sizes)
2. Does (or will) this support upper levels and lower levels (similar to Black Knight (upper level) or Black Hole (lower level)?
3. Will this support (eventually) an analogue scoring display (the old style before the digital display)?

I am anxious for this. Thanks!

 

Pinball Creator actually don't have analogue scoring display and lower level.
On the other hand Pinball Creator support multiple flippers and upper level .

 

Thanks for the reply. Upper level is more interesting to me than lower, anyways.

 

No mobile support? I pass

 

Hi Devision4,
As a first step we focused on the desktop/standalone version.
We plan to support mobile device in a next update.

 

great. I purchase it today.

 

Hi Everybody,

We would be very pleased to see your creations. Don't hesitate to show us your pinball creations on this forum page (screenshots, videos) even if it's a work in progress pinball creation.

 

I had been refreshing the Unity Asset page several times a day for the past couple days. When I finally saw it available last night I scooped it up!!

 

awesome, I really hope you add mobile support as soon as possible.

 

Looks cool, cant wait for mobile support and i will buy right away
Btw, how easy is to add custom models ? like ZenPinball tables which looks like an adventure : http://www.zenpinball.com

 

Yes, you could easily add custom models. Just import your models inside unity. Then you could use them. We have made an example using 3d model taken from our asset Medieval Fantasy environment.
We hope you could see your Fx Pinball style tables you've made with Pinball Creator

 

does the pinball support tilt?

 

Yes Pinball Creator support tilt.

 

Is mobile supported?

 

Hi MrEsquire,

For the moment Pinball Creator is not mobile ready but we work on it.
We have not yet set a date of release but we'll post a message on the forum page when it is released.

 

Some ideas for later Version
